nice work i love coupes

[George]

That's the best thing to do first, get that four-pot outta there and find a 5.ohhh:thumbsup:

[John4cam]

Looks good!!

[wick]

Love it. Looks great so far. Clean engine bay's are beautiful!!!!

[Martin0660]

It's your car, but I got to say.......


plans are areo converson 93 windows

Bo... hiss.... Four eyes rule, why make you car look like one of 1000's of others when it's done? Those little bits in the nose and quarter windows make these cars stand out in the crowd!

Like i said, it's your and you can do what you want but I would hate to see you put all of the nice work into the car and have it be just another aero notch in the crowd.

[vitaleffects626]

i know bout your guys four eyed pride but too late i have just bout everything to convert it over and disposed of all the 4 eye stuff. But i wonder why people get so upset but i couldnt even give that stuff away, so it went into the trash


thanks, the engine bay is far from done but i wanted to say its a ton of work i have around 80 hrs into it and it needs some more. the end result should be awesome tho

[Martin0660]

Believe me, I don't get upset, that's why I said it's your car do as you like. I just like the original style better myself, it so unique these days. Good work though!

Looks like it will be a fun project. Gotta love them 4 eyes though.:)

4-eyes FTW!!!

80 hours into the engine bay? C'mon now....I've sat and watched you work on that for more than 80 hours. :)

[juice_man_86]

4 eyes are better than too.......poor mustang :(

[wick]

Still waiting for your updates...

[venom]

Still waiting for your updates...

He really doesn't have any. He NEEDS to bring the car back to his house so he can work on it. The current place he has it at not giving him any garage time.

I still think he gave up. The car is actually titled in my name, so maybe I can take the project over?

[vitaleffects626]

Wick no real progress just been ordering parts waiting for summer so I can work on it been getting dicked off at the shop where my cars at so I don't know mabie gonna bring home

[wick]

Man, that blows...

[TooFast98Cobra]

it will shoot flames if Venom takes over...

[vitaleffects626]

Yea cus he would burn it

[TooFast98Cobra]

Yea cus he would burn it

LOL, I always think of Venom down at Crafton shooting flames out the pipes, Only car down there that would do it, I think he had spark plugs mounted LOL

[venom]

Actually I think that was "mustangmike". He had a 96 cobra when I had my 95. They were both about the same color.

[wick]

You must have not spent enough time down there then. Mauro's RX-7 would blow a 4ft fire ball out under hard load.

[Slow01GT]

I absolutely hate that wing. It just looks so out of place. Other than that I am liking the car a lot

[jaa55]

engine bay is sweet

[Dan B.]

engine bay is sweet

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[venom]

Valve covers need powdercoated black. They just stand out too much. And get rid of those red wires. Why didnt you buy black? :laughing1:

I cannot believe how clean the engine bay looks with all the brake lines hidden and the main harness tucked away.

The wing makes the car different. If he takes it off it will look like nearly identical to the other silvernotch on this site. Be different man!

Lower that thing. Isn't that why you bought coilovers up front??

[mkwood4]

engine bay looks great! wish mine looked half as good. nice work

[wick]

I saw this in Carnegie yesterday. Looked nice from a distance as I drove by. Looked like you were at Domination chassis maybe??

[vitaleffects626]

That was me I don't want to tell that story

[wick]

You were pulling out of Hammond street onto noblestown rd.

[vitaleffects626]

yea that was me. thanks, cant wait to see more updated pics of yours

[silvernotch]

thought i'd see you at mineral beach last night.

[vitaleffects626]

ill go next friday bob. ill have to come alone tho what time you head out there

[Killercanary]

I didn't even realize this was the car that I saw at Carlisle. Looks great! How bad is the heat soak with everything being black? That would be my biggest concern with going all black.

[silvernotch]

around 5-5:30

[venom]

He should be able to make it to Mineral beach...there are no highways.
:laughing1:

[celeste]

Vital

Car looked great at wexford, super clean under the hood and nice install on the seat covers. I am digging the wing no matter what anyone says. It definitely separates it from every other silver notch. For those that hate the wing, good thing you weren't building it to impress them because you would be screwed:biglaugh:

Thanks man I appreciate that alot i worked hard on it I built it exactly how I wanted in my price range. I did evergreen from bodywork motor swap hiding wires swapping interior building motor. Its not perfect but it is to me.

[celeste]

Wow! I didn't realize you did all of the body and mechanical work too. You should be proud of that. Not everyone can sit at their car and say that they had an actual hand in the building of the car. Definitely cool, and your right, you built it exactly the way YOU wanted it. Nice car :awsome:

[venom]

And he painted the damn thing himself...first car he ever painted.

[venom]

Update for Eric. He had issues with his motor burning oil all last summer. Celeste located a shortblock, offered it to me, then I offered it to Eric.

This weekend we tore out his old motor and trans.

New plan for Eric includes;

new used shortblock
trickflow heads
TF stage 1 cam
ATI prochager
94-95 brake booster

[silvernotch]

does that mean no carlisle again this year??

[vitaleffects626]

Bob I will be there with the notch end of story

[venom]

does that mean no carlisle again this year??

Ha. Trailer lined up to tow both cars if needed!

[SK@StreetLethal]

[venom]

[SK@StreetLethal]

Looks awesome! The engine bay is one of the cleanest I've seen!
