here's my rear brake setup. lincoln rotors, cadillac calipers, custom brackets

here's the motor after rerouting all the wires. i still have to wrap them up but it's a hell of a lot better than it was.

here's the passenger side fenderwell after the wiring. you can see the power distribution block right at the firewall. also there is my front brake setup, which is lincoln rotors and calipers.

another angle of the motor, was still wiring at this point.

here's the driver's side fenderwell. again most of this is still pretty messy but it'll get cleaned up. the white box underneath is the remanufactured steering rack i put in when i found that the inner tie rods were bent.

as of this evening, the following is done:

fuel tank installed
fuel lines run
rear end and brakes assembled
front suspension and brakes assembled
rearmount battery finished
all electrical run except the front lighting
driveline works, spun the tires over for the first time today under its own power (still on jackstands....)
front brake lines made, still have to make the rears

in order to have a running and driving vehicle i still need to do the following:

wire the cooling fan and other miscellaneous things
preassemble the body
finish the exhaust (install tailpipes/get hangers made for the mufflers and x-pipe.
install driveshaft loop, subframe connectors, weld up torque boxes and upper control arm mounts

once that laundry list is done it's all about sanding down the primer and the shitty parts of the old paint job in preparation for the real paint. so it looks like, knock on wood, i'll have it completed by or around june.

Nice. You shoulda left the sparkle paint on. :lol:

nice guy lol =)

ttt cause i got the brakes mostly working today. i would have put it on the ground and taken it for a lil spin up and down the street, but i have a few more little things i gotta take care of. such as finish the parking brake cables, throw the doors back on it, couple small wiring details. it will move under its own power very soon!
 
is that an Explorer intake on there?

very observant. yes that's an exploder intake and tb. one of many little tricks in that motor, wink wink =P

yes i'm using factory seats for now. the interior is the last thing on my list of stuff to finish right now. all i need to drive it is a seat, the rest can wait till i get some dents in the roof fixed and all the undercar welding done.

before i take it down the road, the parking brake cables need to be finished and the wiring needs to be completed. then i'm putting the body together.
