Can't tell from the picYupp. @1997cobra helped me size the fittings, basically saved about $100 by using npt 37* hydraulic fittings instead of AN fittings because they are essentially the exact same thing.

Det_Riot Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hahaha that's awesome @Steve-Oh! As many of you probably saw, via Facebook or instagram, the marathon prep for mustang week ended last night with the car not making it to mustang week :/ the amount if troll was unbelievable. After getting smoked in the face by my driveshaft, realizing that I was sent 3 out if 4 wrong fittings to make the through frame passages, giving up on side exhaust and pulling off svo skirts to rock open headers, the whale cannon decided to chew up all the fresh wires I put on it. Apparently when tires and wires decide to occupy the same space, wires lose....every time......who knew....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 That sucks man, how much work is the wiring going to take to fix? I'm sure you'll get the car 100% soon, but nothing blows more than having to throw in the towel. I guess at least you know for sure this year you won't be laying under the car on a trailer multiple times replacing clutch cables right? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95opal Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Detriot i know it sucks not to make ur deadline and miss a show but in the end its just a show. Being able to take ur time and not being under the gun makes building that much more enjoyable. As for the above pictured pins just dont mount them to a piece of plastic like that and expect them to hold up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 That's the problem I always see in that hidden hood pin setup... normal hood pins are anchored to steel and go through the hood. Those are mounted to the hood and go through plastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well now that mustang week is done and gone I can turn my attention back to my car. Its been pitifully sitting in mg backyard under the cover. Today I'll probably pull off the fenders and evaluate how much wiring I actually fucked up :-/ best case scenario is that I didn't split any wires, only wore through insulation. That way all I really have to do is reroute then up along the upper frame rail until I know they clear the tire and secure them. Worst case scenario is that I split a bunch of wires and I have to play reconstruction of them all and hope they all match up right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Who's ready for some carnage pictures?! Me! Me! Me! Car looks kinda badass without a front clip on it.....wonder how you could leave it bare and make it like a rat rod....... Anywho here's why I shorted out my headlights and everything else! Definitely need to re route the wires better. Going to try and make clips to run them along where the old egr modules were on the passenger side upper frame rail. Also need to find another spot for the TFI module and heat sink...this was preventing me from going full lock to the left No pictures of the drivers side today, wasn't that motivated but I did take a sneak peak...there are definitely wires that wore all the way through on the driver side. Though there weren't as many wires to begin with so it may not be as bad to take care of. Dream Cruise/Mustang Alley/Mustang Memories are on August 16th/17th. I guess for now that's my goal. Though I'm almost to the point where I want to take it down completely and just start going all out. Oh and @Drake, the spot behind that bracket is rusty for the record on my car too. Though I think I caught it early enough to just sand the rust off and paint over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Haha love that everyone is checking behind their evap bracket now. Also @Det_Riot you should leave it off! I think they look badass!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
