More progress today got the engine and transmission mounted.



More tomorrow. Were going to mock up the seats and steering and brake master cylinder. Stay tuned we'll be at it the rest of the week hoping to make a lot of progress.

[oldtrucks]

Got the steering column in looks like there won't be any thing in the way between the column end and the steering rack.



Going to put these Mustang seats and console into tomorrow.

As the above pictures reveal we made some more progress on the UNI. Here's a couple more.

The seat mounts Rob fabricated


Here's Rob cutting a section out of the floorboard so we can get the correct placement of the passenger side seat mount. We needed to keep them very close to the floor. These seats are kind of tall but very comfortable.

Lookin killer! I love that candy green! may I ask what green thats from?

[EZBNGRN]

theres 2 colors the exterior will be wild orchid /lime squeeze from 2010 ford fiesta.. the engine and accent color is the hyundai voloster green(darker then lime squeeze) there real close to the same will end up adding some dark green to the accent color to darken it up for the interior(bottom of dash,guage cluster and door insert area and maybe center console) ive got alot of billet pieces for console will wait till interior is painted to decide fate of console

Nice job.

[EZBNGRN]

mikes computers getting a tune-up so thought id post some exhaust pics going to run outside the frame with magnaflow bullet mufflers and maybe a resonator towards the back and exits out the custom fabricated exhaust tip dead center of the rear

Going to be a shame putting a body over it all !

[EZBNGRN]

mike (oldtrucks) brought the chassis back to my place,why he starts doing final welding and getting truck back on rotessoire for undercoating and body work im finishing up the exhaust and getting everything done for final assembly

[SixtySix Ford]

May I ask why the exhaust is going back outside of the frame?

[EZBNGRN]

just easier then trying to snake it past panhard bar,coilover cross member,gas tank the exhaust has to come outside the frame rails to get around gas tank anyway once body is on you wont even know its there.

Lookin good Rob. Had to replace the computer and reload everything. Happy birthday too. Enjoy yourself and say hi to mom and sister for us.

Well we made a bit more progress. Got firewall filler panel cut and fit. The next step is making a tool to hold the panel to the firewall so that I can bond it on with panel adhesive. I should have that done in a couple of days. Fingers crossed my plan should work.
So here are some pictures.

Before panel fitup

Well there it is the first start up in the frame. all systems are working and the engine is running good and no leaks so it is a success. Beginning to really look forward to having this thing all done and driving.
This is my first attempt at posting a video it seems to be a success let us know what you think of it. It's a photo bucket video so click on the image to start the video.
