    I finished up this fox this weekend. I'm pretty happy how it turned out. I probably had around 100hrs into on top of a full time job. I'm a little burnt out but Dust is back in the garage now and I've already been attacking it :)

    It's so good to have this turd back in the garage. lol

    It took about 10 minutes to hack up the front end to put it in the grill. I'll have to go back and clean a few things up but it is mounted and I'm working on making mounts for the radiator.

    The radiator is in it's new position. There was actually a good amount of room in there for it. I plumbed the cold side but I'm not happy with it. I'm going to redo it tonight hopefully.

    The only thing changing with the cold side is the first 2' off the compressor. Everything else will stay the same, so the IC will remain under the dash. Trying not to get too crazy right now, I have 2 months and 2 days to be in Georgia and I still don't have a motor. lol I'm going to keep the same exhaust as well, just need to redo the connection once the motor is in. The 4" exhaust looks tiny in the pic. lol

    They were supposed to head back down last week, but decided to stay up here for a while longer..:) Their place in Sarasota is shuttered, hopefully the storm doesn't hit too hard.

    I got bored the other day so I decided to turn my fan power trans cooler into a water cooled trans cooler. I will splice into the return water line from my IC and run it through the cooler then dump it into the ice box. I'm waiting on some fittings to show up be able to finish it up. I'm slowly getting my aluminum welding figured out. I had my smaller torch back feeding air and that was a shit storm. Now that's fixed I can get some practice going.

    I got this badass air shifter from Ed's Speed Shop. I love the fact you can move through all the lock outs without pulling your hand off the shifter lever.

    Great looking shifter. Where is your trans brake button?

    If I'm not mistaken it's built into the silver levers. But I have the TB and Bump on the steering wheel. I like having the Line Lock on the shifter.

    For some reason I thought the TB button was on the side of the shifter about where the philips screw is. Maybe another shifter?

    Nah. You're correct. It's an optional switch you can add on.

    Wish I had the hand/eye coordination to weld like that. I can make some things stick together but doesn't always look pretty.
