So here's a little update (sorry been working alot and have no life)

Just a quick picture of the car lowered with Saleen Racecraft springs



Main news, I picked up 1 other polished cobra wheel (already had 1 spare) so I can mount some Drag radials on them, and not tear up my nitto's when I go to the track. Maybe this will get me to the track more often too lol...

Picked these up as well, although now that I have my other cobra wheel, these will be up for sale shortly:




car needs some love, I picked up the door to body weatherstripping kits from LRS last weekend, need to get those changed out, before it starts raining. Thats about it....I'll post up more when I get it :)

 

Sits just perfect

 

Looks good!

 

Looks great!

 

So finally got a little bit of work done. I've been procrastinating for some reason. So I finally got off my butt and got some work done.

Spent today working on my Explorer Gt40 upper intake. This thing looked like it was set on fire and beat with a wet chain. So I gave it a little love today:

Got started with the paint stripper:








All cleaned up ready for primer:










1st Copy of Primer:


2nd Coat:


3rd Coat:


Final Coat:


Lower fins prepped:






Plan is to Paint it black, clear it over and polish up the intake plate. Letting the primer dry and then on to the black :)

 

Nice work... what plate do you have for it?

 

That looked like hell! But looks good now.

 

I have the 5.0 HO plate....really wish I could find the 5.0 V8 explorer plate....but around here they are few far inbetween.

 

Well it's just in primer, but here's the first coat:


and I FINALLY found one of these...my god you'd think these things were made of gold or something:


and these new center caps were given to me by a good friend, cause she's just that cool!

 

Diggin those center caps!

 

x2! Looks great!

 

Got some more done tonight:

BEFORE:


After:



Intake and plate:


Still not done yet...still have some work to do.

 

Getting there!

 

Hell I got one of those intake plates, if I knew you were looking for one i'd have sent you it. Looking good!

 

give me it lol





I think you shoulda polished the plate up but it still looks better

 

Guess you missed that part huh? LOL

 

nah i mean like sanded down and polished it instead of painting it black unless thats also black primer

 

Patience is a virtue my son....lol
Just need to clear coat em :)

 

That looks great!

 

looking good griggs

 

Well these showed up today....the first of the parts wave landed on the home front :)

 

You need to replace the pics from before the site went down.

What else do you have ordered?

 

full gasket kit, motor mounts, timing chain, upper and lower control arms, doing a heads/cam/intake install with longtubes :)
