He does bad ass work and decent prices (also paints peddle cars, iphone covers and even toilet seats)

This is something he painted which I am contemplating for my project

Holy shit. What do you do for a living?

More pics !!!





I will also be replacing the headers as I do not like the way they are routed
plus the Ford GT heads require a different exhaust pattern
The new headers will be both Forward facing but I will still keep the A/C and everything to make it a "street car"




Also scored a bad ass 28' Haulmark trailer

If you know one thing about Mod engines is that you can not use the Supercar heads on a 4.6 without a major custom $4,000 intake which is ok with me but F*** the 5-6 month wait

Luckily I scored this Ford Prototype intake!
Its a 5.4 Cobra R intake modified to fit a 4.6
Unfortunately it was mutilated, maybe cause Ford didnt want it on the street
I got for $350, so a couple hours of welding and it will be good to go





Here is my Sullivan on all aluminum 04 Cobra engine were building for my bro's BMW (I will make a thread later on about it)



Yes, thats a 5.4 Ford GT block next to it (its for sale $2k and its yours)



The prototype intake on my old engine (04 cobra engine)
Take inconsideration the Ford GT heads will push the intake up about 1/4" up
I might have to use a smaller alternator though

I take it you are a very picky guy. I really didn't see anything wrong with the engine bay before you did all this. One things for sure. Its gonna look sweet once your done. You planning to put the matching front Street Lites on the car?

lol, I am not really picky... its just more of a hobby thing
I am not sure on the matching street lites as I am trying to steer away from the "foxbody with skinnys" driving around the street plus I like taking fast turns

Very nice! Where did you get or how did you make the front lip?

Its a Mach1 lip for 99-04 models, I screwed it on then cut the end off

Never thought about removing the fenders/cover/panel/lights all in one shot.

Can you do that with a stock car? My fox GT has an aftermarket bumper cover and it doesn't quite line up right.

Yes, I unbolt the front clip by removing the 3 top fender bolts and 1 lower fender bolt
I love it, makes working on the car much easier

that's a crazy amount of work you have put into that car! Have you ever thought about doing a custom double wish-bone front suspension so you could just remove the shock towers too?? Are going to paint it the same color?

Thought about it but I don't know how good it would be for drag racing plus I am trying to stay stock style suspension in case I ever want to race it.
Not sure on the color or scheme... Me an the painter will be going over some ideas to make the car stand out

Looks heavy!

With everything I removed and added, it probably gained 20-30lbs but car is now alot more rigid(replaced the lower frame rail) and safer(no swiss cheese firewall)

[KBScobravert]

Looks good. Keep us updated.

I just pulled mine apart last night to finish all my fab work. I was gonna put a thread up here in a few days too.
