Well I have had a lot of requests for pictures of the build of my car, so here is a thread with some info, pics, and possibly some ideas or help for others doing the same. I'll try and respond to any questions anyone has, just post them in the thread.
Here's a pretty extensive rundown of the car, since I have been asked a ton of questions about it as well.
Engine:
1993 Coupe
408windsor 11.5 to 1
Scat internals
Ported Vic Jrs (flowed 300cfm on a conservative bench)
Billet Comp Solid roller, (254/260 @ .050, 600ish lift on a 110)
Super Victor EFI, milled to fit the nitrous plate
Custom made sheet metal elbow
90mm Accufab T/B
95mm PMAS velocity maf
stock A9L with moates chip, using Binary Editor to tune
Drivetrain/Suspension/Exhaust
Spec 3 clutch
Ford racing T56 tranny, with upgraded 26spline input
31 spline 8.8 with 3.73s
PA Drop K-member with tubular a-arms, Moroso mounts
Koni Yellow Struts with 400lb front coilovers
Koni Yellow Shocks with 175 lb rear springs..I think...
MM subframes
13" Front/11.65" Rear Cobra brakes w/NRC brackets
(1993 Cobra Master cylinder 1" bore with sn95 booster,
even with low vacuum from the motor still stops hard!)
Roll bar consists of SW Racecars main hoop/cross bar, then I made the rear bars and side
bar myself. Sidebar uses Chris Alston Chassisworks swingouts.
BBK 1 3/4 Headers (cleaned up), flange cut off to go to 3" custom
X-pipe, then 3" flowmaster 2 chambers, and 3" mac chrome Tailpipes
So here is the car from the start: I originally purchased the car from Kentucky, it was super clean, no rust, all options, a perfect car to start with. The fun began after this. The car was also very clean underneath, so that was a plus! This car had numerous powerplants, it originally was built with a turbo 302 setup which I had a lot more pics for. However I'll bypass that and cut it to show it's build to the current state.
The plan was to fill the engine bay, and of course hide all the wiring. The brake lines were also to be hidden in the fender and run through the frame rails. The line lock resides in the strut tower below the master.
After countless hours of welding/grinding, making the brake lines from scratch, and hiding the wiring in the fenders and under the dash, she was ready to go to paint. The tubular front end was installed, as well as the rear end with all the brakes etc. Nothing new to show there, and I don't really have pics. The body shop then did the bondo and finishing of the engine bay. I was actually unhappy with how the engine bay turned out, they had used too much bondo for my liking, and it wasn't as clean as it should have been. I have since had it re-done, but do not have any pics of that in progress so I will just show the original ones.
After paint, I was quite happy with the color. The engine bay was ready to take on some action, so now the true fun was about to start.
