Subscribing! Looking good

Any Idea on the thickness of those panels. I am almost to that point, but plan on fabbing them myself, have been debating on the metal thickness.

I dunno, the Y2K style Cobra R hood was my 2nd choice for my car.

But you pretty much can't beat free

I like the mach 1 hood. If I was going to put a aftermarket hood on my car I'd do the M1

I dunno, Im at the point where I guess I will wait until its back on the road (when that is ...who knows...winter is never ending)

Ill rock a stocker for now and see if it will allow the KB with my spacer

Finally got the rails- they were on backorder for a few weeks.
Impressed with quality and fitment. Mocked up stock dizi and it allowed full timing adjustment and I can run the front fuel lines no problem! Behindbarsracecars.com fabs these rails- check em out.
Still have to wrap the harness. Its coming along....weather is growing warmer 40 F..so Im getting back at it!

Supah Dupah brotha. Everything looks just fine and its comming along awesome. As for hoods....The Mach and the y2k look ghey. Stick with a plain jane 2 1/2 inch cowl. I think its time for the Casper98gt build thread. haha. Cant wait until the snow stops so i can build mine up.

Any idea on the panel thickness or gauge Blown 5.0.

Who make those valve covers? I have not seen any like that, or are my eyes fooling me?

They look like polished factory units to me?

Sweet build man, must...subscribe...

BLOWN 5.0 FOX · Mar 7, 2008

The valve covers are made by joe heck racing- they have clearance to run large rockers. Definetly not stock (they would not come close to clearing)

backfocus · Mar 7, 2008

Thanks Blown 5.0! I didn't think they were stock. Just looking for new ideas for my new motor. I hate the fins on the aluminum Fords I have now, too hard to keep clean.

Nice man! your way ahead of me, I just started welding my holes in the engine bay tonight - hoping to have it on the road by the end of May.

Hey, the valve covers in the picture above are the one's I PMe'd you about - those are Joe Heck Racing covers?
