FATHERFORD's 2014 Mustang GT

[Sgt Beavis]

Your Dad is too damn cool to have died so young.

[Mark Preus]

Sorry about your loss. With that said very cool dad and build you are doing. Good looking car.

[fitzwell]

Damn... Sorry about your folks.

[FATHERFORD]

Ran the car Friday night at Royal purple Raceway. 84 degrees and 90%+ humidity. I was really impressed with the mustang, as the most the other vettes, camaros, and mustangs were running in the low 13's at a lower MPH. One thing I learned today is that I never turned the advanced trac off completely. It felt like the car was bogging down to me.

only modifications were:
Steeda billet lower control arms
Steeda Adjustable Panhard bar
Ford Racing P Springs
Koni Adjustables
Nitto NT05 305's
Magnaflow 3" catback
SCT X4 canned 93 tune

How do you like those NTO5?

[Juiced4v]

Consistant times.

Sorry about the loss of your parents, and that is one awesome car you have there.

[FATHERFORD]

Still waiting for parts to get in from LRS and HPP, but this past weekend I went up to Waco and picked up some California Special fog lights and their billet shorty antenna.




Friday, I'll be there to put my car on LRS's dyno so we can get a before and after hellion system on a stock motor/transmission. Then we plan for me to go back after the built engine/transmission.

Hope you have better luck w/ your shorty antennae than I did.
Lost probably 75% + of reception. "Long on looks, short on performance."

Sucks about your parents, I've lost my mom, 2nd mom (best friend's mom) and my grandma in that order to cancer so I know how bad it sucks. It's not something I'd wish on just about anyone. That's awesome that your dad wanted you to honor him that way, and by the looks of it you're going ALL out. HPP is only about 15-20 minutes from my house, let me know when you're going up there cause I'd love to check out the car and say hi.

[FATHERFORD]

Went to LRS this past Friday. Jmac wanted to place my car on the dyno to get a base line and to load a SVE tune on the car. I don't remember the numbers but it picked up a good amount, and the transmission shifting was awesome. Just sad I only put about 60 miles on the tune before I put the car on the lift Friday night and started tearing it apart.

Got a lot done to the car, but caught my wife's cold and it put me out of commission by Saturday evening.

Hope to "finish" the car next weekend. Then towing it up to HPP.

[FATHERFORD]

So got 90% of the turbo system installed. Then took it mostly back apart and dropped the car off at HPP.

Welded up the oil drain fittings into the pan, and wrapped the headers(my first time ever to wrap).

Also..buy an aftermarket k-member, you can get the top starter bolt back in.





Nothing in this kit is made for someone with large hands.




My fabricated 9"


And that inter cooler sure does look mean.

[Scott Mc]

Damn you are moving! Looking good

[FATHERFORD]

Manny hopes 4-5 weeks. Depends on the machine shop. I think most of the parts are already in.

I'm really debating on going ahead and buying some 67mm turbos instead of the 62's.
