Started wire tucking the front this past weekend.
This is what it looked like on Saturday.

Now it looks like this. Still got the Wiper motor and MC harness to shorten. But wanted to get this far so I could test the park/turn/headlight function.

Sorry. Spell correction. Ac lines.

Since the frame rails on the 2013 are much wider than the fox, I had to cut them shorter at the firewall side and reweld them together. My buddy, who is the best damn welder I've ever met, welded the aluminum tube back together.

I'll have pics of that when he welds up the return line. I forgot to bring those to him a few months ago.

I see.

Just wondering here. Do you plan to have the delay and auto turn on function working for the head lights?

In theory it should still work, but until I get the steering column hooked up and battery powered to the car, I won't know for sure if it works.

Well what I'm doing right now isn't all that exciting to post. Done modified the tank and the vapor lines associated with the fuel tank and filler neck. So tank is installed. Straightened out all the 2013 brake lines so to make it easy to bend them where I need them bent for the Foxbody. So the ABS module and all the brake lines are done except for the one that goes to the passenger front brakes.

This weekend I hope to have the brake lines done and the rearend installed so I can do final measurements and get the drive shaft built.

Fuel and vapor lines from the engine will be done next week probably, along with the battery relocation to the trunk. Then it's back to trimming wires for the back half.

What, no festive pictures?

LOL...Was gonna wait until my Optima battery charger came in so I can take pics with the LED lights on. Yes, all bulbs have been switched to LEDs. Reason, because the 2013 headlights and taillights were LED. And since I'm using the wire harnesses from a 2013 the wire size was based on LED amperage loads. The incandescent bulbs would have drawn too much current.
The taillight wiring was a little tricky since the turn signal and brake lights light up the same group of LEDs, and the Foxbody is not like that. There's a module in the back that controls the type of light sequence, and it gets an input from the brake pedal position switch (BPP). I plan to detach the BPP from the module and use it only for the brake lights and 3rd brake light. Then wire the turn signal to the inner turn/stop light wire. The inner because on the 2013 the turn signals were sequential and electronically fired. So to keep the same flash cycle I'm using the inner turn/stop light. And since I've disconnected the BPP input to the module. The turn/stop light will only fire as a turn signal, and never for brakes.

Hope I didn't lose anyone on that explanation.

Things left to do:
-Waiting on the driveshaft. Been ordered about 2 weeks ago. Any moment.
-Top off fluids. i.e. Brake fluids, super unleaded gasoline, and antifreeze.
-Charge the AC system
-Retorque all suspension bolts
-Install the H-pipe and cat-backs.
-Paint the interior quarter trim.
-Modify foxbody door panels.
-Install the front and rear glass.
-Get ready for Knotts.
