slow90coupe Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Lol. I guess the only thing they could have been thinking was weight reduction with all those holes. I've got the itch to get this pos going so bad right now I can't stand it. The SN just isn't as fun to beat on as a good ole pushrod foxbody.

Det_Riot Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hell yes dude! Underside is looking killer! I'm not excited about doing that to my car this winter but it has to happen as I put it off right after I did the through floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little cheap spray paint makes a world of difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow90coupe Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Well I bought my first welder. It's just a 130 MIG, but it's something at least.Then I got my drop brackets and installed them.Here's a look at some of the parts I have ready for the car.And I finally got the car on the ground for the first time in months.Then I got my buddy to TIG my oil drain fitting onto my oil pan.And I spent a few hours on the oil pan, it was a mess. It looks like crap still, but a ton better than it did.My valve cover.And where the majority of the day was spent. My buddy and I got a decent amount of work done until we ran out of wire. Most of the holes are filled in and ground down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow90coupe Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I finally got back to work on the fox.All the holes are welded up and the scottrod panels are welded in. I spent today grinding down the welds and began spreading some bondo over the imperfections. I have about 5 hours of prep work left and then it will be time to lay some primer, sand a few more times, then lay some color on it.And the engine is assembled and ready to be dropped in. I went on and did a new oil pump, pickup, and ARP oil pump shaft too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow90coupe Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Made some more progress this weekend.How I started. This is after one prime coat after about 4 more hours of sanding.After a second coat and another hour or two of sandingAnd how if looks now. 3rd coat of primer with a bunch of sanding between coats. I gotta say, it's turning out pretty good considering I've never done anything like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow90coupe Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I've made some progress since the last time I posted in this thread.I put in and wired my shift light.Pieced together a temporary intake from parts I had laying around. It actually looks pretty nice.I would have had the engine bay done, but I ran out of paint at this point. Still waiting on more paint to show up so I can wetsand and clear it. I mocked up the radiator just to see.I cleaned and painted all of the AC lines.Random pic of the car outsideThe engine, completely ready to go in. I mocked up the upper intake to see how it would look.I got the front clip out of the shed and gave it a good cleaning. I can't believe how good it looks to have been sitting out in the elements for months!And I primed the fender jambs for paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Great work Ryan, you're doing an incredible job for sure. The gold accents on the motor are really going to pop against the dark red, it'll be a nice classy look. And I still can't get over how great the rear wheel/tire setup looks on there.

slow90coupe Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks everyone!I finally got my paint and clear, so I finished up the bay, not bad for spray cans.Then I put all of the suspension back under it, put on the Magnums, and rolled it outside for a wash. I forgot that it was actually a decent looking car when it was clean.A pic of the bay outside, I have wired almost everything up and put power to it and everything works as it should.Little bit of mockup of the radiator, condensor, and transmission cooler.Ghetto brackets I madeAnd the jambs after being sprayed.

slow90coupe Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks everyone! As far as spraying the bay, I'm sure I didn't really do it the "right" way, lol. I just scuffed the primer with 400 grit and started laying on thin coats until I got to the point where I could start making real coats. Also it was 15 degrees when I painted it, I'm sure it could have turned out better but heating the garage for a few hours and then heating the paint cans made it work pretty well. The clear coat is the tricky part.. you have to make 2 light coats, then find the fine line between laying the clear like glass and making everything run for the final coat. Lol.

slow90coupe Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks everyone!I picked up my power adder for this season, if I end up wanting to go faster and get the 7 second pass I'm after N/A. Nitrous Outlet EFI Race Single Nozzle kit with a bottle heater.The nearly completed vacuum tree and wiringI mounted my bottle and ran my feed line just because I had nothing else to do at the time.Then I wired up my electric fansI'm using a Bosch 30 amp relay and ran it to a switched source and of course constant power. I powered the car on and it worked like it should, so I think I'll be fine.I think I have enough fuse taps...Then I got tired of waiting for some help to help me put the engine and trans in as one unit, so I said screw it and went on and threw the engine in. I ended up getting almost everything completed today that's engine related. About all that's left is putting the trans and exhaust on.This little hose ended up taking longer than putting the engine in by myself. If you've ever tangled with this little bitch before, you know what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
