Progress?!?!?

[pickardracing]

Yes, hell has frozen over. I'm actually working on the car.

Pics:

Fox 8.8, Motive 3.73's, Ford 31 Spline Trac-Loc, Strange S/S Axles with 3" studs:


S-281 Wing (not totally installed and waiting for paint):


Wings West front spoiler (also not totally installed and waiting for paint):


And a generic shot of the engine bay as it sits:


The entire undercarriage is being prepped for welding the torque boxes right now, then rustproofing. Ill have pics of that later.

[Yooformula]

hey Andy, isnt past your bedtime.....lol

[CPonyGo]

LOLOL- punk....I am up now peeing...an old age thing...LOL- cool seeing you again...

Now -back to Micky's junk...I really wish while my engine was out I would have gonr all that way with a wire and paint clean up

[CPonyGo]

did you still need an engine stand??

[pickardracing]

Why yes, I do.

[CPonyGo]

well lets figure it out..I have two..if you need it..

[Reverend Cooper]

wow your making progress

[Lash]

Sticking with the trac-loc huh?

[pickardracing]

Havent heard many people breaking the 31 spline units, plus its 99.9999% a street car so I wanted something quiet and trouble free. Probably going to throw the carbon clutch kit in it for good measure though.

Isn't the rear end from a Fox not wide enough for a SN95?? Just curious, that's the rumor I had always heard.

[pickardracing]

Oops, sorry Joe, never saw your post.

The Fox rear end will work in the 94-98 cars, you just have to use 94-98 specific axles (1.5" wider than Fox stuff).

The Fox housing will not work in a 99-04 app, the rear itself is 1.5" wider than the 85-98 units.

Anyhoo, got some more done on the car today.

Removed shitty ass rusted section fron rear quarter:



Welded torque boxes:



Next order of business: cleaning up the under carriage and rust proof/undercoat it.

Blow a pinion seal ?

[Reverend Cooper]

those dumps arent helping your rust issues either

Blow a pinion seal ?

huh?

[pickardracing]

those dumps arent helping your rust issues either

Yeah, I know. But they sound so bad ass. :p

Call me nuts but I think the big chrome pipes out the back look tacky as ****.

I wish there was a way to get a full exhaust on this thing but have the tail pipes hidden.

Any ideers?

[95mustang302]

you could make the pipes so they dump out like a fox gt did, just put a bend in the section so they hug the gas tank more towards the top...

looks good can't wait to see pics or in person final progress!!

[07ROUSHSTG3]
