1990 Mustang LX coupe

He is adding a turbo to the car.

Glad to see the build is still moving along nicely. I'm looking for an engine build myself and I need to go and visit Greg at TPR.

Personally I never had a problem w/ an e-pump. I had a CSI in my Camaro as a daily driver for over 6 years and sold it that way w/ no problems.

A few pics of the engine compartment getting welded up, I think I am going to go ahead and paint the car black after all. I have 5 more day to decided. They are going to weld it all up, smooth it out and paint it. I cant wait.

Are the inserts from Scott Rod or did you build them yourself?

 

[infidel]

They are from Scott rod, they fit awesome with just a tad bit of trimming the body shop told me. I will be ordering the piece above the radiator and for the cowl next. I am super stoked on the outcome.

I just ordered the aluminum interior panels for the race car from these guys...great stuff.

 

[infidel]

I have looked at those for a while and I have seen pics of them installed. Good choice man, I am sure they are going to be great. I want to order quite a few things from them for the interior but I have decided I am going to go with a black tweed interior for the car. I used to have a minitruck that had tweed and I freaking love the look. I will probably never build another mini (even though I drive a ranger on 20s now that I want to bag and body drop) and can probably never afford to build an old hot rod so I figured I would do it to this car.

[infidel]

a few updates, still needs to be wet sanded and buffed. Should be ready next week.

 

[Mustangcwo]

Scott Rod sure puts out some nice panels, looking good. I just put some Scott Rod door panels in the Race Car today...awesome fit.

I saw the car yesterday when I bought the exhaust off of him and it looks damn good! Very detailed and you can tell that he is taking his time on every step.

Well I finished with the Drill Field (successfully) in January and found out shortly after I would be heading overseas again for a few months so after a few training exercises at 29 palms I was able to strip the car in order to take to the body shop. Here are the things they will be doing while I am gone.
1. Paint the car all gloss black (plus body work will be super straight)car, jams, under trunk lid, under hood, core support
2. Shave wiper arms
3. Shave antenna
4 Rhino Line the complete interior very soft and glossy texture as I will not be running carpet. The existing deck will be completely stripped before rhino lining.
5. Rhino Line trunk
6. Mount front mount intercooler

I will be picking up the car when I get back and will dive back into it. just thought I would share for now. See all you gentlemen upon return.
