Re: 85 GT stock block build [intercooler 9/18]

i would re route the waste gate into the down pipe, open waste gate sounds terrible.

Moving slow... but still moving! Hot and cold sides all welded up. Need some coating.

Looks good. Very clean.

 

Re: 85 GT stock block build [welding done 10/28]

Re: 85 GT stock block build [welding done 10/28]

yup def looks good man ... giviing me some ideas on my own build ... but where I live I dont think I could get away with running the DP thru the suspension like that

 

Re: 85 GT stock block build [welding done 10/28]

There's no turning back now! Rough cut for the tubs so I could get a look at things.

Once I set the tire in there, I couldn't do anything except LOOK at it! Done for the night!

275/60s are going to be on a 10" wheel.

Re: 85 GT stock block build [welding done 10/28]

That looks great. Get the rims so we can see how the tire will set.

 

Re: 85 GT stock block build [cut for tubs 11/6]

you can do my car when you get done with yours. car looks great

 

Re: 85 GT stock block build [some updates]

Ive been following your progress and you should pat yourself on the back for a job well done thus far.

Myself and a freind mini-tubbed my coupe and were able to fit a 325/50/15 tire with no issues, have you considered possibly going with a bigger tire than the 275/60??

 

Re: 85 GT stock block build [cut for tubs 11/6]

FordRacerX, Yea I was on the fence between a 275 on a 10" or a 325 on a 12".... couldn't make up my mind. Then my bud "Sluggo" GAVE me the 275s and that did it! I like the look of a 275 on a 10, it's just that they don't sit under the car enough w/o the tub work.

 

Re: 85 GT stock block build [cut for tubs 11/6]

yeah .. i liek the look of the 325's also .. but im actually gona run a 275/50/15 on mine .. a friend runs em on his and has goodluck with em they fit my torino wheel wells also and so do my wheels lol ... I like the small tire sleeper look lol .. .. but yours looks bad ass man and good work cant wait to see the finished product

 

Re: 85 GT stock block build [cut for tubs 11/6]

Glad to see you moving progress again. Looking good
