I have been busy with non-Mustang projects, but this week making real progress on firewall templates. Made it out of cardboard to get pieces figured out and transfer to metal..
Everywhere is closed that I can get sheet metal from and the pieces i have "in stock" are too small, so that is now the hold up.
Got my header tubes and flanges, but I need to put some metal back in (firewall) before I take any more out. I really need to hack out a bunch more metal to get my headers in, and clean up the front inner fenders so the main firewall needs to go back in first to keep everything stable. It's quite sturdy, but i don't want to take a chance.
My firewall area and pedals are trying to occupy the same space as well...pretty cramped in there for three pedals, now i see why everyone goes auto.
I will try to get some more pics shortly. I think I will be tweaking the pedals to gain some room, but it has to be comfortable or I will rework it until it is.
Got a water pump coming also. I went with the Davies Craig electric pump. I am going to run their controller and fan as well. Their set up uses sensors and controller to manage water pump and fan, so in effect a thermostat is not needed. This is a great simplification to the cooling system, and less parts means less plumbing.
I plan on running an oil cooler as well, so I think I should be good with keeping the thing cool.
I may start installing the roll bar while I wait for sheet metal for firewall. I have it assembled loosely in there but the instructions do not supply any info on placement, and since I have all of the interior removed, it's difficult to know where to locate it exactly. Has anyone installed one of these autopower roll bars before?.
