LowFast Just went back and read through your build thread unfortunately the photos are not available to view. Do you have pictures of the early stages of your build posted elsewhere for viewing?
Love the build by the way.
I can dig them up from somewhere, way back stored in file archives. Are there any specific things or stages you would like to see?
Curious on what you had to do firewall and tunnel. I am using a 3.5 Ecoboost with a TKO 600. I have the firewall cut to fit the Quicktime bellhousing, I need to move the firewall back and inch to create clearance for the 2 water supply tubes at the back of each head for each turbo. And have to more work to for clearance for the exhaust outlet on the L/S turbo. Working on fitting the trans and making the trans mount. Had to cut out the stock trans mount/horse collar due to the shifter wants to be right there placed at 19.5 or 16.5" Plus the trans is too wide in that area to fit so cutting and fabrication isn't a option.
Some minor cutting at the bellhousing but otherwise was able to keep the stock firewall. Trans tunnel is full custom, no way to fit within the stock tunnel. I just turned the tunnel into a full length raised tunnel that acts as an armrest, and now the car has 4 buckets instead of front buckets/rear bench. With as low as the car is at drive height it was needed not only for the trans but also to accommodate the drive shaft. My trans crossmember is currently an not to pretty custom peice I made, but plan to remake again to pretty it up.
Thanks Jason,
No go on my work computer, tried Bing and Chrome, will check on my Mac at home. What interesting is now a few of the early thread photos just showed up. I have a plan for what I need to do but always good to see what others have done.
I have not had time to search for old photos but here are a few new ones of the house and then the rough formwork starting for the 30x40 workshop (new home for the Falcon.) We anticipate, if things go according to schedule, to move in at the end of April 2018. Later than originally planned but that is how these things go.
Where about in Texas are you? I drive from Louisiana to west Texas every month for work.
Grapevine, right next to DFW Airport. If you are ever headed through and have some extra time let me know.
Congratulations on the new home. No worries on the photo's understand as I just moved into a new house and shop myself. Figured it would just be a month or 2 after we moved in, well that turned into 6 months.
Thanks to Budnik for my sweet new steering wheel. All black, including the hord button. I would like to find somewhere that can laser engrave "Falcon" into the center horn button. If anyone has any ideas of where to have this done in the DFW area let me know.
Awesome, thanks. Have you used them before or seen examples of their work? I only get one shot at this so want to make certain it turns out.
Seen examples, I would Assume they would do a test piece for you
Hey John any update on the build?
