Default More puzzle pieces

Hey finished up some more pieces of the car and now have to concentrate on making it run. Made up my own cold air intake. Why might you ask why nobody wants to use the early Mark VIII for their car it has every thing to do with the intake and where the throttle body is and the fact that nobody makes a cold air kit for it, so once again I find myself making my own parts. Now please do not make fun of my aluminum welding I do not have a lot of practice with it, but I'm getting better, and nothing here is structural so there. Here is the pics.

YOU WONT FIND THIS IN A STINKIN CATALOG



Now I learned something that it was cheaper to buy two kits off ebay and cut them up than to buy all the bends elsewhere, so get two with lots of bends w/tube and can fit up to your MAF.

Default Air kit installed

One custom air kit installed, and wow it fit great. It better I had to build it on the car. Now I think I will clean it up and give it a brushed finish after I get the rest of the car done in case I have to modify it when the body goes on.




That's it for now I think I'll get her ready to start.

Well guys' I did it fixed the oil leak, routed the coolant overflow differently and changed out the clutch master/slave. Ran the car to temp and the t-stat opened, but I forgot to close the overflow drain so we spilled more coolant on the floor. I found some more wire issues. But I stillTOOK IT FOR A SPIN :mf_w00t1::clap::thumbup1:

Now for the bad news fan relay power supply needs to be rerouted and my speedo is not working, it has good power. I think the signal is messed up, the sender is from the 03 t-3650 will that work with the autometer speedo or do I need the adapter.
Patrick
P.S. Thanks to Jerry for coming down in his car and keeping me sane while I did this.

It looks so nice, you might want to think about having a plexi-glass body molded for it.

Default Speedo

I've got a 3650 tranny and for my VDO gauge I talked to Painless wiring and they said ground one wire (either one) coming out of the sender and connect the other to the speedo. Mine worked with this set up. Had to get a tach convertor becasue my eninge is Coil on Plug 4.6L 03 DOHC to get the tach working.

Default No more play time back to work

Well let's see, way to cold thank god for the heated shop. I've started back to work getting her ready for paint. The car is back on the chassis dolly, body is off the ceiling, and I have roughed in the fender wells on the front end of the car. These are times that I really do envy you guys that get to work with a kit. Having some of this metal work laid out for you must make this a little easier than trying to figure out, just how am I going to get this covered and how can I bend it this way. But I can get this stuff cleaned up and coated with the same stuff that the rest of the sheet metal is covered with.



Need to source the bulb-seal that I will need to go between the metal, frame, and body. With some luck I should be able to get the rest of the holes laid out that I need to cut into the body and start prepping it for undercoating. I can not believe how different this body is left to right. It's like they molded off of two different cars, guess that is what is meant by character.

Kit's are pretty easy, in comparison, but bragging rights are something to cherish! Nice work! Keep the pics comin'!

Default Wow two months with out an update

Okay guys, here it goes I have the rest of the missing sheet metal formed and coated. Now I cutout some of the holes in the body and found that it had been made very thin I believe this was because of all the extra glass work that would have needed to be done to bond the tub interior that the body kit came with. So I went back to the glass and resin store and picked up another 5gal and mat. So when the temps get back up so I can work with the shop open, I will make the body a bit thicker. For now I will continue to take care of small stuff. This unfortunate setback will delay the paint work which I was hoping to have done late spring.

More bad I came down with Shingles (Chicken Pox Revenge) three weeks ago, I would not wish this on anyone ( Okay maybe one or two people), so working out in the shop has been hit and miss.

I have made some small steps in the right direction. I have made myself a set of louvers for my car, before you all get testy about how they look they will be painted body color like "The Real Ones"


So everyone I'm not dead and I'm still plugging away until later,
Patrick

Hey Patrick very nice build. I’ve been forwarded from many sources to you. I guess to make it all simple. Were you able to get the quarter hoarse working on your 95 pcm and 93 Lincoln mark VIII engine. Tuning and data logging?
I have a 95 and am very interested in doing this.
Thanks, Kenton
