There must be 300 pics on my computer for this project, I have about 50 on photobucket. I have only posted pics at the major turning points.
Most of the hard fabrication is done. There has been delays, a vaction throw in and I spent MONTHS getting last minute engines parts together. I finished up the brakes today, the fuel system is done, it passed a presure test today so I can bolt down the last few parts on the intake.
I have a cable for the throttle but have been thinking of using a hydraulic system, two cylinders ( rams), one at the throttle body and the other at the gas pedal connected by a single line. Ill check it out over the next couple of days. I have started put the wiring back in and connecting the computer, this should be fun

My fav build ever. I liked the way people doubted you, and you didn't care and kept spilling tiny lil bits.. ignoring the doubters...quite a showman, and this is turning out to be a heck of a car...

i was hoping to see tons of build pictures when you finally done this car, considering how you haven't shown "too" much so far, enough to keep us Drooling though so i'm looking forward to your website when that comes time to be created

I pulled down two normal SHO front axles so only the splined section that rides on the bearings was left, I pressed these into the wheel hubs and put the spindle nut back on the outside. I could have turned them down a little in the lathe to make the lighter.. maybe later.
Unsprung weight is an issue, to go to a lighter rotor and hat set up would be very expensive, same with cobra/ mustang calipers. maybe in the future.
The front end is copied from an original SHOGUN ( except they used 10" disc and I went to 11.6" ) and they pulled 1+ Gs and ran lap times of the the old 427 cobras at Watkins Glen so it should handle okay.Last edited by NovaSS; 09-24-2008, 01:29 PM.

It use 1994 SHO taurus spindles, 1999 SHO 11.6" brakes, the outer part of the axles. The hole for the strut was bored to 2" so I could drop the strut down into it to lower the ride height. The ball joint hole was reamed to 3/4" and I made a bushing to match the festiva ball joint (3/4" to 5/8" ). I used aspire out tire rod ends and tapered bushing to match them up. (7 degree to 10 degree) I converted the struts to coil overs, used mustang adjustable camber / caster plates on top. The springs were from a mitata coil over set (550 lbs per inch I think ). Besides that the fornt end is stock

I noticed the speedo cable, or what's left of it, hanging out of the firewall. How are you going to set that up? Are you going electronic or are you going to hook it up to one of the front wheels?
Just wondering...

Awesome! Just awesome.
Filling up under the hood will bring some looks, too
Are you going to run a vac line all the way from the back of the car for the brake booster?

NovaSS, Beautiful. Can you point me to a link on how you did your front suspension?
Thanks.
