Todays update.... Moving on to Chasis re-work, bracing, andddd IRS swap/build
Theres a lot to cover here!
I saved over $700 in materials alone doing the chasis bracing myself, it was a hell of a project.... one of those that you THINK is cake work until you find yourself halfway through the project and overwhelmed. Lol
I used
*2"x2" at .120" wall for the Through car subframes
*2"x1" at .120" wall for the lower subframes
*2"x1.5" at .080" wall for the lift rail supports
And 3/4" sch 40 pipe, with 1" sch 40 couplings to tie it all in
The car had 140k miles on it prior to tear down and the undercarrige was FILTHYYYYY!!!! I personally like to use OilEater degreaser on my projects, i find its VERY strong and gentle at the same time...... for this cleaning, i actually diluted it 3 parts degreaser 1 part water, broke out the scrub brushes and yes even tooth brushes!
Hang with me as this project is still in constriction phase

Now that the chasis bracing was complete.... i wanted the car to look as factory as possible, being a texas car that is hardly driven i opted to use Rustoleum implement paint..... i took the time to figure out the proper mixes to MATCH the factory E-coat green, i also did this with the Performance red..... you will see why in a bit
Heres a quick, short and sweet video of the undercarrige after painting just the bracing, nothing else needed to be painted it was all in great condition..... will move on to wheel tubs next

Where did you get those gunmetal 00 R's?
You cant get them anymore, but back in the day you could order them through ford. They are original Ford stamped wheels
Geeze this page is dead these days.... got some working on with the car, currently building/designing my own exhaust MidPipe.
Starting point...

New exhaust that i designed and built.... opinions?
Good god I love it
Is this similar to the MAC Pro-Chamber? I had one on a Foxbody and really liked the sound.
Sounds great!
I think it sounds great!
Sounds angry! Good job!
Wow. Just wow
Just some little 3k rpm throttle blips
Asked him about it on Instagram and he never replied. Maybe he’ll reply to you here, I was curious as I know material plays into sound resonance. Just wondered what a stainless version would sound like compared to what Mac used to offer.
