For One of My Personal Projects....

[martyo]

We are doing a mod motor in a Fox Body Mustang.

It has been a long slow process fitting it in, but we tinker with it when we can. Well, on Friday night, the powder coater dropped off the motor parts. They sure look purdy....

Friday night before SSHS there was a fox body with a Coyote and a 6 speed in it.
I had lust for it!

This car is more for show than go.

It will make 300 rwhp through a manual but that will be plenty for the car.

I need to get some better pics but these will give you an idea of where the car stands. We even did the underside of the car.

Looks great. What color is that silver? Did you smooth down the intake casting texture or just powder coated over the stock fiinished texture?

Powder coated over the stock finish. It is not smooth like the valve and coil covers.

That requires $$$ I don't have right now. :lol:

I'd replaced my MM motor first before doing anything. :cool:

[martyo]

Well we are making progress. It is going slow with the demands of the shop and all of the other cars that I have to maintain ar home (no, I am not complaining), but slow progress is better than no progress.

We have the power steering pump on the motor and the trans mounted. We had to fab up the cross member and had to order a trans mount. The trans mount came in today so that will go on next Monday. The aluminum drive shaft has to get to the drive shaft shop for some shortening and rebalancing.

We pulled the column and two pedal set up out. We got a three pedal set up and it will be going in shortly. Then we will put a tilt column back in the car (this is a '93 so there was no tilt). I still need to decide if I will keep the factory steering wheel or go with something aftermarket.

We also did more of the wiring harness lay out and mounted up the CCRM.

I will say that the harnesses have me stressed out the most. Compared to my old school cruisers, these cars have a bunch of wires!!!!

As we were going along, I realized that when I ordered a cluster from my friend Andy at Florida 5.0, I forgot that we were going with a 3650 trans so tonight I had to pack the cluster back up and send it back down to Florida so that Andy can swap in an electronic speedo for the mechanical one I spec'd when the cluster was built. This will not cause any major set back, but it will cost me more $$$ to get the right speedo.

Here are some pics of the cluster. Let me tell you that the Florida 5.0 cluster is a work of art. Neatly fab'd up and every wire (and there are a bunch!!!) is tagged and the instruction sheet is very good.

I am hoping that next Monday we will get a full day of work in on the car. I am so anxious to get it cranked!!!!!

[CBT]

Parts porn, love it. I see a curve under the gages, where it mounts, over trans hump?

[martyo]

Nope.

This replaces the full dash cluster.

[Mercguy04]

I like how you layed out the dash cluster.
You still have room in the AC vents for gauges,
when you decide to add a Blower to it.
Very clean set up MO nice work.

I am not a big fan of eating up the AV vents.

If (when?) I add a blower, the bosst gauge will get added to the A pillar.

We got a good bit done today.

The exhaiust went on (Flowmaster 3 chambers at the center of it):

The brakes were hung on all four corners too. I need to think about repainting the calipers as they don't look as spiffy as I wanted them to.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to re-stencil the ponies on the fronts????

Oh and we put in the hydro boost too.

The car is (finally!!!) coming along.

Next we will probably do the three pedal install and clutch cable, fit and install the driveshaft, and set up the fuiel system.

Some of you may have noticed that we are leaving the worst for last -- doing the wiring harnesses!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

[CBT]

Car gonna be all new when you get done, better than new :beer:

Wow -that is a nice looking car. You sure know how to build them. That is my all time favorite Fox body and I would love to have the convertible.

I have just looked into my crystal ball and I see..........twin turbo's!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

This car will likely stay tame.

This weekend, I temporarily traded my '03 Cibra for a '10 GT Vert so that Mizz MO could see what a Vert was like abnd she loved it. So I want to keep this car to something that she can actually ride in and enjoy. Hell, I even offerred to put an auto back in it so that she could drive it but she didn't want me to do that.

THis car has been a long time coming. I can not wait until we finish it! The problem is we usually only get to work on it a few Mondays a month.

[MOTOWN]

Lookin good!

[martyo]

Today we got the front and rear sway bars mounted (including fabbing up and welding tabs to the tubular K member for the front bar), reflanged and installed the driveshaft, modified and mounted the battery tray, cleaned up the motor a little, piddled with the interior a little, and did a few other odds and ends.

A few more Mondays and we may have this beotch fired up!

Oh yeah, we tossed on my new coil covers:

[martyo]

Another Monday = more progres!!!!

Today we did a bunch of organizing and ordered up a lot of parts. I need a branch off of Little Wesley's money tree!!!

Anyway, we got the Florida 5.0 cluster installed and wired -- it was a little time consuming because although Andy from Florida 5.0 sends out a beautiful product with every connection you need, we decided to solder all of the connections.

We also fit the radiator and fabbed up some of the mounts. We need a bracket which we ordered to finish it up -- we should have that wrapped up next Monday.

We also did some more wiring and got the starter solenoid hidden away and wired.

We installed and wired the IAC and the TPS. We also plumbed the heater core.

Not of picture worthy stuff, but here are a couple:

Hmmm, i'm thinking paint those letters and dots yellow for accent.

That was my initial thought too but I keep going back and forth on it, so I am going to wait until I have the motor fully "dressed" before I do it -- I also have the factory coil covers powder coated in black that I will retry when the motor dress is done.

[martyo]

Well, we closed the shop for a few days of "vacation" after the 4th of July holiday, so I thought I would show you how we spent our time off.

We worked more on this project and here are the results:

We did a ton of work on the car and it now cranks and runs and sounds awesome. We have a few things to wrap up like the brakes, AC, and clutch cable, but we really made a lot of progress.

How often do you see a mod motor under the hood of a Fox body Mustang?

I can not wait to drive this thing down the road!!!

[TooManyFords]

very nice!

[martyo]

Today I finished the door and dash speakers up. Have you ever noticed that there is always some wiriring surprise waiting for you in a 20 year old car?????

Anyway, the speakers are in and they sound great. Once the trunk is finished and I can do the final hook ups on the sub, this car is gonna rock.

I did a real thorough cleaning of the carpet and the interior and then installed the seats front and rear.

I am on trial this week so this may be it for a while. :(

Here are some pics:

So last night we decided to get the junk out of the trunk.

I forgot to snap a "before" picture, but we started by cleaning up the trunk area and then lining the spare tire well with carpet:

http://legalknevil.com/gallery3/var/resizes/album02/Trunk%20Sub%20Install-1735930287.JPG?m=1342525910

Then we built a sub floor for the subwoofer and amp:

I was short a few Christams tree style push pins so I just have a few minutes of work left on it, but it is not noticeable (I am just being my picky self).

The car now rocks!!!

[TooManyFords]

Very nice Martin!

[martyo]

Very nice Martin!

Thanks John.

It's finally getting there!!!

[martyo]

I put 5 miles on it yesterday!!!!!! :banana: It drove great after we worked out a few small kins (two dead coil packs and a dead injector). It was like driving a brand new car!!!

The "to do" list is getting shorter and shorter. Next Monday we will get it aligned and then it will be just about ready to go to Derrick Smith for final assembly and paint.

The biggest thing left is the AC drier and lines which we are already mapping out for assembly.


Oh yeah and we need to use this little guy:

http://legalknevil.com/gallery3/var/resizes/album02/OBD%20Port.JPG?m=1343120825

We wired in and hid in the glove box an OBDII port for tuning!!! :eek:

I am beyond excited!!!!!

[martyo]

The car is getting closer and closer to completion.

All that is left now is finishing the air conditioning (man, I wish I had installed a '99 - '04 evaporator!!!!!), a little tidying up and final completion.

Meanwhile, here is a dyno clip. The car made 300 rwhp. Driveability is perfect!!

http://youtu.be/7HFRUZBExtg,

Here is an idle clip:

http://youtu.be/6v222wcg7Dw

[martyo]

Today we made the missing link for finishing up the AC system that my buddy Keith started.

We converted a mod motor style drier to a Fox body style fitting so that it will hook up to the Fox style evaporator using all of the other components from a '99-'04 car (condenser, lines, compressor, etc.). This saved us from pulling the dash and swapping in the mod-style evaporator.

Here are a couple of pics:

No, these cars are not cheap to put together! I watch your thread on SVTP (I did not know it was you until know) and say "man, and I thought that I spent a lot of money....."

Your build is killer and I love it. I went a different direction though. My wife hates most of my cars but she likes the Vert and my '69 Vette so I went with a build that would make enough power to keep me happy but not so much that she would b!tch. LOL

This coming Monday I should wrap up the AC and a few minor details (I need to swap the fan as the one I have on there is touching down and not running at full speed.

Then it is off to my paint guy for final assembly, a new top, and tint and then I am "done"!

The car drives amazing and the Cobra brakes and "just enough power" make it a blast to drive!!!

Thanks for sharing the pics of yours. I love that car.

For those that don't know, $25K for what goes into one of these builds is a very faor price.

What did you do for a wiring harness(es)?

The '93 was a feature car. There are those that think what we did to it was sacrielege. Personally I love the way it drives. My car makes no where near the power yours does but yesterday morning I took it on a blast around my neighborhood (without my wife of course) and I must say it is a blast to drive!
When it is all buttoned up, I have a feeling I will be driving it a good bit.

[martyo]

So today we had to chase some electrical gremlins and work on the AC so I did not get a chance to do a GoPro video but I did finally take a few pictures. As you can see the car is now sitting in my home shop ready to head off to my boy Derrick's for final paint and assembly in the next few days!!!

Today, I went to visit my man Derrick Smith to check on the status of the Yellow Car. I decided to blow the carbon out of my Cobra so I drove it up the country roads to Derrick's.

http://legalknevil.com/gallery3/var/resizes/album12/Cobra%2014.JPG?m=1345349001

Well as we all know, sometimes ou have to go backward to go forward.

Derrick blew the font end of the Yellow Car apart so that he could address some paint issues and then do the final assembly.

So here is where the car stands now. The front end has been disassembled:

And so is the bumper:

The Harness was provided by the detail zone

[martyo]

This is the repainted hood.

Keep in mind that this is the paint straight from the gun and the paint has not been cut and buffed yet!!!

I think we are going to go with flat black on the raised part of the cowl to break up the yellow a bit. I figure I can always go back if I don't like it.

http://legalknevil.com/gallery3/var/resizes/album02/Hood.JPG?m=1345948278

[TooManyFords]

Do the flat black in vinyl so you can always peel it off if you don't like it.

BTW pot, kettle has his car done. Pptthh:P

Yeah, I know, the RH headlight is missing. Some how when I was collecting parts, I ended up with tow LH headlights and no RH headlight! Grrrrrrrr!!!!! A new RH one will arrive today. Then we can do the ScottRods filler panels.

We ended up using the MRT hood struts and I think they came out great. I really like them. I also use polished hood hinges and hood hinge caps although they don't show up in the picture very well.
