Kevin talk to me about those seat tracks.
Im tall. I want my seats pushed back a little. Maybe 2 three inches.
What is your process for moving the seat tracks back if you dont mine me asking sir.

This is my first Mustang and reading this thread got me super charger inspired.
How the hell you can top that first monster of a machine is beyond me but I can tell you are trying damn hard to do just that. Like Kurt said. Im learning more from this thread then damn near Stangnet combined. Keep up the superior work. you are a one man auto clinic.

BANGER.

Thanks man! It may see rain, but hopefully any grime will just wash off like the outside.

Thanks...I'm glad you've enjoyed my thread. This car will be much better than the previous. I will try to post some pics of my seat rails. You can buy seat track extenders from American Muscle but they also raise the seat which I don't like. The easiest way to do it if you dont have a welder is to take the tracks loose from the seat and redrill them thus moving the mounting points and seat back 2 inches. The only down side is you loose 2" of forward room.
I am using 79 pace car Recaro seats for this car and so I had to make adapters to go to the seat tracks because mine didn't come with them. So I just made the mounting points in them further back. I have not made my actual tracks yet but I have the measurements I need.

Thanks for the seat tip bro.
I dont care about the 2" forward room loss this car is for me.
Whoever cant fit in the cockpit too bad. LOL.
So smart to do. Right under my nose. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Much Appreciated. Keep going on that new animal you are creating.
That thing is pure in-f'n-sane. By the way Im getting full MM suspension.
You got me hype on it. I know its the way to go. But I was penny pinching with it.
I'm going in on it now. Thanks again bro.

Hey awesome work on the old car. But ubelievable work on this one! Was wondering did I read right way back near the start, that you ran your fuse blox wiring harness thru the fender wall? I got a little bored so my passenger side harness's are ran behind the fender now. Would love to hide the driver side to as much as possible.

Thanks Man!
Yes,
I ran both harnesses and fuse box through the fenderwells. The fuel injection harness is ran behind the dash and comes out the trans tunnel.

I hid my driver's side wires in my Cobra clone conversion, check out the link in my sig for photos. Some of them are on the bottom of the first page. Now, to keep the fuse box in the engine bay I had to extend the driver's side harness by about six inches. I had a donor car for the conversion, so I had a second harness to pull from.

Man - you do amazing work - I don't know how I found this thread - but I burned an hour yesterday at work here going through it complete from the start - very inspirational A+
Are we going to see any updated pic's of that 64/65 coupe?
I have a 93' coupe on a body cart as a project - it's been hard to just really 'tear' into it / dismantle it - but after viewing this thread (your work) - I'm going to start this up-coming weekend - ......Just dive in.

Thanks for checking out my thread. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck tearing into that coupe. I have built a lot of foxbody coupes, so if you need any help, pm me. The 64/65 coupe is done. I will try to dig up some pics.
First update in a while. Bodywork continues...
