Sweet build. You should give Rehagen Racing a call. They do this type of thing all the time.

Dean is very knowledgeable but also very busy. So try not to bother him too much.

Thats Awesome! To bad the car wont really look like that when Im done with it


Anyways, School has been kicking my ass but finals are next week and should be able to get a decent chunk of this build done.
Also these showed up a few weeks ago!

OP, yeah I know. I think the 197's were kind of passed over as the years went by. But its just nice to see someone reviving one as I think they were one of the best aftermarket weekend racer platforms.

Finally able to get back to working on the car, Started to pull the interior in prep for the cage which it goes to get on Sunday.

Then it was to pulling out that V6-

Finished off the night with starting on the oil pump gear install-

Looking good. Going to be a damn nice race car when you're done.

We picked up a 15' Coyote motor and tranny that we'll probably be transplanting into our 69' Cougar road race car.

Got the car back from Paint and throwing the interior in-

Also started to work on the dash and interior wiring since I am custom making evert harness on the car-

I was able to do one of the fun parts of the build in my opinion, Putting on the 2013 Front end onto the 2005!
also get to see a sneak peek of the color All the parts came from my 2013 Street car which is pretty funny.

All I have to do is make some custom mounts for the Front bumper and we should be good!

 

[TClark22]

wait...what? 2013 front end! that's one way to make an 05-09 look better!

 

[Brandon Adams]

This is absolutely amazing, keep at it :rockon:

 

[AustinSN]
