the chicken/ (http://"http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa293/Crazzedmug****a/bloodychicken/")
the plans:
Interior: mix of fox parts, blue and black in color. race buckets (i'm getting them for free), guages, and a mild stereo (cd/mp3, speakers and a single 12)
Exterior: different grille, rear window louvers, paint black or dark blue, mk7 snowflakes (rims), lightly tinted windows, either a tc hood, or a stocker with a shaker kit, wing windows in the doors
Driveline:
motor: 1997 or newer explorer 5.0 longblock. aftermarket valvesprings, edelbrock single plane carb intake, motorcraft 600cfm carb (the old 460's had them), H.O. cam, clean and shave the heads, shorty headers, x-pipe and duals. msd dizzy and coil, factory duraspark. e-fan and hd radiator
trans: aod rebuilt as a wide ration with 4r70 guts. floor shifter.
axle/suspension: gonna swap in the mk7 airride, since they used actual airbags rather than the tastic airstruts, 3.55 gears, adjustable shocks, tracklock, heavy swaybars, 245-series tires
chassis: aftermarket mustang k-member, aftermarket shock tower braces (front and rear), k-member brace, subframe connectors
misc: replace all incandesents with leds, hella headlight conversions, smog, egr, and ac delete
dont think i forgot much, but thats the list. most of what is there is there for a reason, if anyone is wondering why so much stock stuff, well plain and simple its miraculous what you can do with factory parts....
Sounds good...but your link doesnt work. Just be patient - I've had plans for my car since it was first handed to me 5 years ago and I'm just now getting around to them. Welcome to the board!
, they censor stuff here....no wonder the link didnt work
i'll have to load them to my other account.
Ah ok, I filled in where the censor came in and now I see the pics. Ya got some hard work ahead of ya, but it'll be worth it! Can't wait to see the progress :)
Nice project car.
Your going to need some panel repair I see.
Are the rocker bottoms gone too?
Oh wow...that interior is awesome!
^[sarcasm] [/sarcasm] ^
ok, here is the gallery of pics, i had to use my other account. http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk100/theconstantevolution/bleeding%20chicken/
i have no idea why it has white leather seats though.... i hate the center console......but it is full length....gonna s the tape deck for a cd player, make a custom plate behind the bezel to hold the radio. the extra half-din under the radio (or above, depending on how i do it) is where the switches will go for the airride overides.hopefully enough room for all the switches plus the amp killswitch (i always run my remote turn on through a switch so i can kill the bass when i roll past a cop. my cars usually warrant enough attention without adding to it....)
Cool, Nice start.
Cant wait to see what you do with it, Mines still kind of in limbo... has been for years sadly, It's time will come to shine. :D
Interior seats look like they are out of a Fila bird, lol.
The leather is in really really good condition actually.
only the bench is in decent shape...you do NOT wanna see whats under those seat covers up front.....of course, whats going in doesnt need seat covers :D
I was serious about the interior. I dig the unique color combo.
Hey wait...you know Mike? What a small world this is. Mike lives about an hour north of me.
