very nice work on the front crash bar setup. great build and keep up the good work!

Thanks. Ive been getting a shit load of people asking me to build them one lol!

LMAO I just did the IRS swap in an 89 hatchback :rockon:

You my friend are doing the damn thing, i so wish I had half your talent :rockon:

Thank you. I have the ideas and do most the dirty work lol but my buddy is doing all the hard work welding and measuring every step of the way. Without his help it wouldnt have been happening right now.

Started the rear bash bar setup this weekend. Only was able to get the plates welded on and bolted together though. Spent a few hours straightening out the cuts on the rear frame rails since they were a little off. They are perfect now.

Also removed the racing seats out to give me more room to move around in the car for when i remove the center console, the heater core, and setup the rear strut brace for welding which will then be followed by the rear mounted radiator install and fuel cell.

Got back at it this past weekend.

Fabbed up the rear bash bar for the most part. Still plan on adding more support on some areas of the bar for a little more strength.

The bar itself came out perfect. About 2 inches from the back of the bumper inside and the sides are nice and snug and barely touch which i was going for. Will get some more pics in the next few days. Planning on finishing it up Wednesday night.

Tonight we got to finish up the welding on the rear bash bar. The plan is too add some gussets for some support and strength. Here is a better picture of the rear setup.

This weekend gonna do some cleaning up on all the cuts making everything straight and also removing the sound deadening in whats left in the trunk area lol!

 

[SVTORANGE]

Can't wait to see it in action:burnout:

Went to piece together my fuel system today. Getting rid of the poor 98 GT tank with SVT focus pump & KB boost-a-pump for a 12 gallon fuel cell with 2 Walbro inline pumps with stainless steel braided lines and AN fittings. Keeping it return style as well. Very pricey lol!

Just need to build my fuel cell box now.

Great work on the weight reduction. Makes me wish that you didn't have the extra weight of that supercharger set up. A 5.4L NA Cobra R motor would be nice to keep it super light weight but the additional power you're making probably out weighs the loss in weight not to mention the added cost. It would be nice to show off Fords one an only bad ass NA mod motor that should be able to keep up with the LS on track.

I think for shits and giggles im going to weigh the Vortech, intercooler and piping just to see how much weight we have. So we have a clear idea lol! The blower added 180 whp. So lets see what it all weighs then we'll figure it out. Thanks for the idea :beer:

Skipped the SVTP/LS1 meet today to make some progress on the car today.

Added gussets on the bash bar where it mounts to the plates and added some DOM tubing between the frame rails for added support and mounting purposes for the frame and box for the fuel cell.

Then we got to mounting up the rear radiator today. Welded in the lower mounts and left the top mounts bolt-in for removal/installing purposes.
