An Update, Finally!!!!

Well, it has been several months since my last update, time to get back to work!!! Found out I had several more broken pieces on the 911 engine than I originally thought. In addition to the cam adjustment gear, I also broke 3 rocker arms. So I pulled the motor out of the car so I can replace the rockers and inspect for any other damage. Once the motor was out, I moved the body up to my parents place to make more room in the garage.






Forward Progress....






I picked up working on the rear brakes lines. I originally followed the stock routing with the center flex line dropping down to hardlines running down the axle. I decided I didn't like that and ran hard lines to each rear wheel with a flex line down the caliper. I then decided I didn't like that. Back to the original routing I went. I have new flex lines on order for the frame to axle, and the 2 axle to caliper lines. Should be in later this week. Here is a picture of the rear wheel mock-up for 2nd attempt at routing brake lines:








Also finished up the pedal box:








I used the Russ Thompson gas pedal and the stock Mustang pedal box. The kit from Breeze Automotive includes pedal covers for the brake and clutch. Came out very nice I think. I've bent the pedals so there is enough clearance around the gas pedal and the brake pedal so each can be depressed without impacting the other.





Also this weekend, completed bench bleeding the master cylinder and re-installed it after finishing the pedal box. Lastly, on the car, painted the floor panels of the passenger compartment with Lizard Skin.





Lastly, my lil' Angel and I went to Dallas Mustang's annual car show on Saturday. Here are some pics from it:
