Foxy Green Foxbody Build

[SteveTX]

The passenger muffler sits about 2.5 inches away from my fuel lines, wondering if they need heat shield or not

On a street car I would. Besides as simple as it would be to make one why not.

Progress is looking good.

Progress is looking good. Did I miss you fixing the leak?
I would have thought you'd make the trunk floor and battery hold down removable, but it looks good.

I did not fix the leak and decided I'd rather smoke a clutch vs take the thing apart. Praying the leak was just residual fluid from the valve covers being off during prime.

I wanted the rear panel removable but found no fasteners I liked to do the job. I can almost guarantee It'll fuck me at some point

Chains? The fronts won't even be touching the ground with all that torque. This ford contour is bitchin!

Muffler heat shield for the fuel lines. Had some 18ga laying around, smacked it with a hammer until it fit. Needs prime and paint.

Had to cut up the mufflers and midpipe a bit to get it to fit better. Has clearance for driveshaft movement. Need to buy hangers and weld them in.

Progress is being made. The toob truck on the other hand is slowly welding itself to the jackstands.

Testing the harness. I'm sure I'm fuckin something up. Also didn't realize the lap belts need to be mounted to the frame. Wish I would have welded more shit in there. The factory mounting bolts might work for it though. Sub belt is goofy because I'm using the stock seat and there's no hole in the seat
