If I could only kidnap and lock him in my garage;D

Nice work brother. Have my column on the bench as well but mines just collecting dust (from all my sheet metal work %))

Looks great!

Sorry, I must have missed something, why three pedals? Did you separate the front and rear brakes?

Thanks! ;Dwell...it's just a play on the fact that I kept changing my mind back and forth over which transmission to use...

Hmmm, but now I'm getting some new ideas.... if I turn the e brake pedal into the clutch pedal, and the wide pedal for front brakes, then I could have left and right rear brake pedals....:-X%);D;D

Some interesting concepts you have there Brian! Should be interesting to drive! Keep at it!

So I finished the coil pack bracket. I think it turned out well and it mounts to the factory intake manifold studs. feels nice and solid even with just the two mounting points and tucks the coils down nice and low. the only drawback is that it only sits down this low thanks in part to the extra space provided by the aftermarket power steering pump set up. I did check though and it looks like it could work with the factory explorer power steering pump and bracket with some stand offs to raise the coil pack mount up a touch.

Wow, nice design.

Wow, nice design.

Thanks! Lucky for me too that this one came together quickly and worked out as planned without having to make several revisions.

Blasted some more parts....

 

[tasker]

you need more stuff to bolt on! let's go

 

[dave67fd]

Even the cardboard looks good;D

 

[fatboy]

Tick tock, tick tock! You are running out of time!

 

[69broncofun]

Looking good . Keep it up.

 

[migs]

Thanks guys!

so, a box of parts came in from my favorite Ford parts guy...got it all for practically the cost of a bunch of used guitar strings!;D

Also, decided to go with my original exhaust manifolds, but the drivers side had a small crack. figured I'd take a shot at fixing it first, might as well use what I have if possible. so, after blasting the rust off, I ground out the crack and welded it back up with inconel filler rod. I'll clean these up a little more then paint them up.

 

[tasker]

VERY NICE!! must be nice with all this spare time on your hands!!

 

[broncoitis]

Nice job on the fix! Should hold up pretty well and I'm sure stronger than when it was cast! Clean parts are so nice! ;D Keep it up Brian!

well, a little birdie from down south noticed my new pedal pads were upside down.... so, a quick little change and it looks much better now!;D

Well I haven't posted an update in a while, so I guess it's time to get this caught up. I've had other things going on but have managed to pick away at it here and there.
Ok, first up... installed fuel rails and injectors. started fitting the power brake booster....
