🔧 BUILD Strtcar's 1986 Mustang Convertible

I feel like tailpipes are a necessity on a convertible. The fumes would probably be terrible with dumps.

That's exactly what I told him and why tailpipes are on there now lol

I was totally going with dumps, more so thinking drone wont be an issue but wasnt thinking about fumes....until Five-0 forced me to try tailpipes

Cars on the ground for the first time in over a year, need to adjust coilovers...but making progress.

This arrived today, MM sport bar...This car is a mm billboard, you'd think they would send me a sticker or something. Will likely get installed later this winter, plan is to powder coat it and the ROH wheels the same color.

This car isn't supposed to turn out this nice...headers coated by Loko.

I wish I had a Master Power T70 to donate to this car for the nostalgia.

Winter blues have left me with severe lack of motivation.... headers are in for good, oil dipstick is in, dash back in for good, new front speakers/wire run. Clutch cable and new throttle cable are in, waiting on new speedo cable. Piecing together fuel system for January purchase so I can run all the new lines, etc...

Let’s race to see whose is done first with the least amount of problems

Been super lazy the last few months with the car. I got the Aeromotive 340 pump/hanger in along with a Breeze Automotive big vent kit. Tank is installed temporary without lines until I figure out how I'm routing them. Today I modified the stock foxbody filter bracket to accommodate the Redhorse fuel filter. Up next is to find where I'm mounting the flex fuel sensor, then I can run the lines.

While trying to figure out where I'm going to mount fuel pressure regulator, I mounted the flex fuel sensor, and also got the anderson cold air test fit. Also trying to find a spot for my coils, thinking under front frame rails will be perfect spot.

No kidding, I'd eat off the underside of this car except I'd feel bad about messing it up.

Fuel lines 90% of the way done, will do under hood lines after I get a bunch of the other components installed. I decided to switch to GM Type II PS pump, mounted remote ps tank on the fender, ordered PTFE hose to make the hydroboost lines next, also figuring out my AC line routing, will likely hide those in fender.
