1BADHRSE BOOSTED FURY BUILD (Beware 56K)
- Thread starter BlackStang14
- Start date
Yesterday we started off by just cutting the tabs off the strut towers on each side cause I have absolutely hated that excess metal hanging off.
But even with just that off the seems still looked terrible so off it came.
Pounded them out back to flat and perfect and decided we would recreate what ford had stock just cleaner and with my custom strut tower brace built in.
Grinded everything down and finished scotch brighting it!
My buddies away for a race now but when he gets back we are taking it up to the bake booth at the shop and spraying her finally.
Then sanding some more and filling and yaaaaaaa more time.

Threw the motor in the get all the wiring tucked so that if we have to drill holes we wont be causing a mess after painting the bay.
Turbos are missing cause they are being polished ^_^
Been threading all the wires and figuring out the best way to run them.
Junked the metal bracket and housing that ran from the firewall to the water pump and fill tube.
Tigged 8 an weld on fittings on the AC lines in select areas to make installation easy and nicer.
Still working on all of this.

You have a new V6? We can turbo it for you ^_^ .
Seriously though if you are interested take a look at my previous thread on my Twin turbo build and see if its something you would be interested in and we could talk and work out a time frame/Price.

Notched the Radiator support to make more room:
Decided to also remake the 2 to 1 into the intercooler:
Finished up the new piece and mocked up the rest of the piping:

Awesome! Must admit, was casually scrolling down through the post, admiring the work and your documentation, and then, BAM! I busted out laughing when I saw Buster, standing front and center on your build! (seriously, what's his name???)
Anyway, looks great

p.s. That lift wouldn't be located in garage just south of Fishkill, would it?
