A little more progress, picked up the custom fuel tank, building brackets for the brake and clutch reservoir, have run and mounted oil cooler, oil filters and air con system

Was made by Custom Wrecks, he’s on Facebook, photos don’t do it justice

I'm shocked you stuffed that in with a brake booster and not having to remove the towers.

good work !

 

 

Looks worse than it is, there’s quite a bit of room around it, the rocker covers to towers are the closest, had to do a bit of modding to the booster so the master could sit at 90deg , just need to sort remote reservoirs now

The  brace  turned out  really nice. 

Thanks, took a bit to get the angles right but worth it

Looks like you  did a  lot of  modifications to your  tunnel and firewall,  what tranny  are you using  ?

I’ve grafted the 2017 trans tunnel into it, motor and 6 speed are out of the same

I would recommend painting the engine bay and the trunk area on the rotisserie, it's a pain to get into the tight spots, but a lot easier on a rotisserie. 

I did do the underside in black but I’m having second thoughts about black for the engine bay,so would have to go over some bits if I do color in the bay

Saw a few posts a while back on other topics but thought I’d ask

[Ash's 69 R-code]

Any updates Ash?

[Paul's 69 Mach1]

Update, Cars off the rotisserie for good, rear end in,engine bay completed and in primer, just need to decide wether to paint it in body color or satin black?..

Great job and RHD. Where are you located?

Thanks Mal we’re on the Gold Coast, wasn’t going to this extent and not converting, personal preference 

[Paul's 69 Mach1]

First time in 2 1/2 years it’s moved on its own wheels, few checks befor it goes back on the rotisserie and the under side is finished, new Dakota dash arrived last week, waiting on billet oil pump gears and lower chain sprocket, 

[Paul's 69 Mach1]

Time for an update, 

had tossed up strut or tubular front end?  Decided on the rrs struts and rack and pinion, phase two brakes, modified the shock towers, made up the engine mounts, fitted engine and transmission, fitted new canton oil pan, trans mount is next

Looking at vintage air, haven’t gone as far as compressor selection as yet

[Ford racing vs Ron Francis]

Thanks, I have a wrecked 2017 Gt , so I have all the bits and will be using the seats
