    Where did you get the windows and how much? Do they have more?

    I will give you $2600 for the Holley system:D

    I found them on EBAY I do not know if they have another set. Cost me a pretty penny wasn't cheap. I didn't want the knock off from LMR that didn't say MUSTANG on them.

    FWIW Hemann, it's relatively easy to refinish the 1/4 window trim. Mine looks as good as the NOS or repro stuff.

    So I've learned that with my Holley Digital dash that I have you can get it to read Fuel level. Basically the fuel level sending unit wire will go to a I/O Adapter/Vehicle Harness then Pin 13 (I/O10) of the Digital Dash I/O Adapter Harness is for (built-in Ohms signal stabilization) so that the gauge isn't bouncy.

    Need one of these

    Thanks for the info. Now I can trim another gauge in my dash.

    Anymore updates on the build progress?

    Lastest update: Car is at Redline Motorsports for the entire Holley Dominator EFI install and tune. Not really sure when they will get to it. Hopefully sooner than later. Like to drive my car by summer time. Its been a long process getting to this point. We're so close that I can taste the boost.

    Wednesday 6/15/16 I am taking a half day of work so that I can make my way up into northern Illinois to have a visit with Matt at redline motorsports. We're going to finalize a few things and go over everything so that we're on the same page. I have compiled a list of questions over the past couple weeks to take with on Wednesday. Hopefully we're getting close to having a pick up date and of course some dyno numbers

    Stopped by redline motorsports to check on the fox yesterday. Shes coming along. They have installed the digital dash along with the GPS module from holley for MPH it is up on the dash. They have mounted the Dominator box under the passenger seat and ran the wires under the carpet through the firewire. Harness needs to be extended to reach everything at the motor. He installed fuel pressure sensor IAT sensor water sensor and oil pressure sensor. Lincoln Mark 8 fan still needs to be wired up and also a few other odds and ends need to be addressed. Overall its coming along and we're hoping by mid July we can fire it up and start tuning it. Here are a few pictures.

    getting closer. got word from the shop that we could be firing the car up as soon as this weekend if not the next. Excited and nervous all at the same time. Been a long road to get to this point and now that i'm here i'm scared to death that something goes wrong up on that dyno.

    Thank you maverick75 I was happy with the work they did to my car. Great shop to deal with



    Scored a spy pic of my fox sitting under the shop's MX235 fox that has been in the 4.60's

    Sweet stang had a fox body when I was in my 20s . I added a paxton blower and had cracks between a few cylinders. I miss that car . Those will be / are collectors hold on to it .
    I would never been able to afford that bill your paying. They did a great job though. I think you made the right choice wrapping the pipe. I did the same thing on my build. Pie cut a bunch of exhaust tubing, tig welded it all nicey nice and had to wrap it.
    Now all you need to do is get rid of that motor and throw a lsx in there ;)

    Doesn't look like start up will happen this week. Spoke to him Monday on the phone, he wants to go through everything he did one more time before he tries to start it. Dunno what all else is left to do. He is also fighting for time to work on it. We're so close yet so far away. Hopefully next week, he can fired it up. Then I'll make the 2.5hr trip up north to witness the dyno runs.
