Engine Shot Aug. 29
Here's a shot of the engine. We painted the block Ford blue and the intake and valve covers are satin silver. Anything that wasn't needed was removed including A/C, EGR valve, air pump, IAC motor, and more. The engine breathes through the aluminum dryer tube which is force fed air ... More »
Hold Me Down Aug. 29
Here's a shot of the rear hood mounts. We used some scrap sheet metal to span the corner of the engine compartment and then mounted the hood pin to it. The rubber hose keeps the hood from sagging, More »

Hoodwinks Aug. 10
In an effort to further lighten our Challenge Mustang my dad and I decided to "skin" the factory steel hood. We set about peeling up the curled over sheetmetal skin from the hood frame. After that we ground the edge closest to the cowl and separated the frame from the ... More »
