69clark Spy Photos!!! From this weekend

69clark · Feb 11, 2007

Well I have a bunch of small projects going on, so I figured I would show you a few from this weekend.

I bought a Cartech intake that I think will be replacing the BBK SSI. Here are some shots of just the upper on the motor, mainly just to snap some pics as I haven't pulled the lower yet. But the pics of the intake on the bench are of the cartech upper and lower. I have a few issues to deal with but I think it will be better in the end.

The BBK lower:

Upper just mocked up on the BBK lower, just for some pics of the intake in the bay:

Here is a sneak peak at my new wheel. I will get some better pics when the install is complete.

I made some door props for when I am at the shows. The came out great, made them from aluminum and put a satin finish on them. They fit nice a snug and are designed so they lock into place and the door won't blow shut or open.

Well, you know the drill, what do you guys think?

Interested in selling that old steering wheel?

And it looks great.

The Green GT · Feb 11, 2007

Me likey. The wheel is hot. I dig the 'I'm well endowed and need all the room I can get' steering wheels. Your wheel is really classy (nice Euro look).

The door thingies are something I'd never even thought of - they came out really nice. I bet you could sell those buggers with your graphic stuff.

I like the cleaner lines of the sheetmetal intake. The BBK was really ornate but for some reason, it almost seems too complicated/busy, ya know.

urban96 · Feb 11, 2007

how come you didnt go with the BBK SSI race/boxed upper intake

69clark · Feb 11, 2007

Last that I called and checked on it, it wasn't out. I like the idea using common lower intake but I think the upper is ugly, and last, a sheetmetal intake looks so bada$$! lol

69clark · Feb 11, 2007

As for the steering wheel. With a stock wheel lowered to where I like for comfort, my legs would hit the bottom of the wheel if I lifted my leg to hit the brake, so I wanted a D shaped wheel without being too over the top looking. By the way, I painted the middle spoke on the wheel gunmetal gray to match the rest of the interior. You can really see it in the pic to well so just hold tight till I get more pics. My buddy Kris even modified the horn button to match the look and feel of the interior.

sweet and the door props are tough

Tom..... to the car.......

now I understand why your car looks so sweet..........you spend all of your time in the garage...........

the mattress set gave it away..........

I want to make out with your engine bay....

Iggyshane · Feb 11, 2007

I love the finish on the new upper intake but i think it needs some set of decal to set it off like the rest of your car.
The valve covers have Powered by Ford. So Put “Built Ford Tough” or something like that on it

urban96 · Feb 12, 2007

i think a big cobra would look good on it

Killercanary · Feb 12, 2007

That looks mean as hell! I assume you are going to polish that upper, it will look even better if and when you do. I like the door props too, that's a very cool idea!

69clark · Feb 12, 2007

Actually I wasn't going to polish it. I have a fabricated canton overflow tank and fabricated valve covers, they are a brushed finish, I was thinking I would stick to that theme. Only thing I I will go ahead and redo the brushed finish because of scratches and such from shipping.

Black95GTS · Feb 12, 2007

Nice welds.

It does need something to bring the engine bay together. I'm sure we'll all be jealous and surprised when you figure it out.

+1

Maybe the outline of the cobra in black with some red added in there, so it kind of complements the text on the valve covers.

hmm i realized that also but then your tube to the supercharger really catches my eye.. maybe brush that when you are redoing the intake
