Mine. Thanks

Exhaust looks great. Can you show a pic of how it routes around the axle and coil overs? I dont think I've seen anyone run tailpipes with coilovers.

The exhaust is off the car for now,should have it back on in a week, get some more pics for you.

^ Im with him, do they even make that series Falken tire anymore? I though that was the coolest tread pattern back in high school when they first came out.

This project gets sicker and sicker as the thread goes on. You gonna be at Carlisle this summer with it? I thought I saw the black and red car there a couple years ago, maybe we could represent stangnet and park next to each other at the show if you go. Although I probably wouldn't stand a chance at winning any trophy's then lol

That's a possibility.

Thanks Bob. Well I can thank 1vetetr for turning me on to Ford Racing Parts Direct, they were the only ones that had a set of these Ford racing" Z heads" left since everyone was running an amazing deal on them.





Got all the hot side stuff done with the TurboX coating, got all the cold side stuff done in powdercoat, and played around with some black chrome powdercoat for a few peices as well.




Door panels came back from the upholsterer, really glad we went this way, they still have a factory feel, but match alot better

Nice find on the heads!

The door panels look amazing and it looks like you are going powder coating crazy too!

Wow Terry, one of the best fox builds I have ever seen.

I'm sure Joe will bust you on something you changed, but deep down he will be in love with it .

Ya know, until you mentioned it I wasn't really paying attetion, it just kinda happened, was planning on different heads, but couldn't pass up the price on the Z's. Well with what came in the door today, I guess it's loking that way...



Was playing in the powdercoat, you actually have to powdercoat in chrome first to do black chrome, or you can go over real chrome or stainless. Here are the valve covers, first with the powdercoat chrome, then the black chrome...



Oh yea, this came today, there was no worry about availability...

Nice! Well, I kind of like the fact that you're using all Ford stuff, you can tell all the haters to suck it, haha.

The VCs look great. Funny you posted the plate, I was actually just looking at personalized license plates. Here in Indiana though, if I were to register for one today, I wouldn't actually get it until January 2011.

Got the wiper motor relocator done. It turns out that an 84 has a larger wiper motor than a 93, so I fabbed a new version, this mounts on the backside of the firewall and under the cowell with three bolts.







Fuel system arrived


Have started assembling now, got a nice set of powdercoated valve covers that don't clear, any takers

The stock covers angle in on the corners, and hit the edge of the rockers at each end of the heads, new ones on the way. If it runs, we'll be out.
