Looks awesome!

[Crestronwizard]

Modification complete, parking light in. I'll be painting the trims flat black and changing the lens to the clear ones.

[Crestronwizard]

Parking lights complete. This was something that should not have been as much of a pita as it turned out to be.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[linkstar69]

Well worth the effort, they look great

[feeble]

Thanks!

They are OPT7 XR-1's. Pretty much fit right in. Black to ground. Blue low beam. Red high beam.

Looks like I found my headlights. Thank you sir!

Are relays required?

[Crestronwizard]

Are relays required?

No, They only pull 1.5 amps :)

[feeble]

No, They only pull 1.5 amps :)

Awesome, that will simplify the wiring a little!

[Crestronwizard]

Doing some detail work

Clamped the upper hoses. More on order for the other hoses

Power Steering has been one of the top 5 PITA's of this build. When I started this build Turn-Key was the only option. They send a plastic reservoir and it just hasn't worked well. Got two of these nice metal ones in with -AN fittings. 1 for the mustang and 1 for the truck. Works way better.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

No more wire ties :)

[Crestronwizard]

Fixed the exhaust tips.

[Crestronwizard]

Finally got around to making the radiator look better. These are the stages of progression

Spent a lot of time this week getting the windows adjusted correctly. Note for any future builds, stick with factory doors.

Painted the headlight trims black. Feel it looks a lot better

[Crestronwizard]

Anyone ever used Bayer Plexi? I have a couple of questions. Thanks

[windows]

I use Bayer every time my wife enters my shop. It usually works better if I take two of them.

[jack67rs]

Anyone ever used Bayer Plexi? I have a couple of questions. Thanks

The only product I'm aware of is a lexan or polycarbonate manufactured by Bayer.

[Crestronwizard]

It's a "scratch proof" plexi from them. Wondering if anyone has ever glued one of these in like a normal window instead of screwing in.

[propaintball96]

This is so legit. The adjuster? -______-


https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[Crestronwizard]

Thanks. Fabricated the adjuster. Made it "easier" to get the cap to match up with the opening of the trunk lid.

[Crestronwizard]

Testing the parking light LED's

Tint is complete. Windshield in Monday. Ready for next weekends show.

[Godbolt]

Really close now Geoff. Looks great. Bet you can't wait to drive it properly.

[JRHorne]

How are you in my back yard and I've never seen the car or heard of the build! I guess I need to hit Cars and Coffee more often!

[Crestronwizard]

Yes! Tags are on it. I drove it about a mile yesterday, lol.

[Crestronwizard]

It's just now ready(ish). Hope you make it to the good guys show.

[Crestronwizard]

Flushmount Glass is in!!!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[Z06killinSBF]

Nice!

[linkstar69]

Awesome job on the glass.

[Crestronwizard]

Been having a great time at the show. Met quite a few forum members. Thanks for coming out.

[windows]

Pat yourself on the back, man. You deserve it! Your car is a 10. You nailed it in so many ways, but the interior is a home run (in my opinion).

[2ndroundko]

Your pictures dont do the car justice. It was great meeting you and your car is just awesome. I was the big black guy with the bald head.

[Crestronwizard]

Thanks :). It was great meeting y'all as well.

I drove it for about 30mins when I got back home. Took turns taking the kids for rides. Felt great.

[Cop Magnet]

That final 5% is the toughest of any project. You are seriously at 110% at this point.

[56rpm]

I use Bayer every time my wife enters my shop. It usually works better if I take two of them.


Good one!

[Protour_Pinto]

Are you using crestron programming for the panels?

[Crestronwizard]

Are you using crestron programming for the panels?

Yes

[Crestronwizard]

Any decent car shows around NC soon?

Couldn't get away from work long enough to go. Did think about coming down for a day. No place to stay though :(

[Crestronwizard]

Anyone going to the Street Rod Nationals in Kentucky?

[Crestronwizard]

Toying around with the idea of selling................

[andrewb70]

Toying around with the idea of selling................

Seriously? After 5 years of work? Do tell why....I am not judging, I just want to understand....Is it too pretty now to drive, or what?

Andrew

Andrew

A few reasons. Top of the list is I don't get to drive it. 4 kids (2 little ones born since I started the build, lol) and business keeps me busy non stop.

[Bob in St. Louis]

That's sad. It would be a crime if that happened. :(

Geoff, I completely understand as I am in the same boat with more toys then time.

[DrFraZZy]

Sorry for derailing a bit..... What happened to the f100 with the coyote swap? did you sell it? its gone from your signature.

Still have it. Got behind while we moved to the new shop. Hoping to drive it to the No Mercy 7 race in Georgia, in October.

[2ndroundko]

hope you dont sell it before the southern nationals in concord NC. I'd love to see it again.

I was hoping to see this again in Charlotte but I'm moving this week so no dice. Good luck at the show though this car looks better every time I see a post.

[Crestronwizard]

Sold the mustang. Bittersweet but on to more projects. Doing some final touches on the F100 and plan on hitting events with it through the summer. Also have been building a small tire drag car. Hope everyone has been making progress on their builds over the winter.

[GRNOVA]

Geoff, always enjoyed watching your builds. Cant wait to see another!

[Bob in St. Louis]

I'm sad to see it go. Great car man, thanks for bringing us on your journey.
