The maroon car is finally out in print

Not sure the Reef car will be magazine worthy as most Ford/Chevy mags dont like the cross breeds We will sure try though...lol

You've nailed the stance and tire fitment man. Both cars look amazing.

You have two really nice cars but nothing beats a reef coupe. I always thought a reef coupe with Pony R wheels was the best looking Fox ever made.

I agree, but am partial to Bimini over Reef.

Thanks for compliments everyone. The SC wheels are 17x8 and 17X10 with 245/45 and 275/40's Falken tires mounted on them. The Falcens seem to run a bit wider than the BFG's that i'm use to though.

Slow go as far as progress.....I did manage to find a garage to store my Burgundy Coupe, so now the Reef car is front and center in my heated garage. I should be gaining some momentum now lol.






Ditched the polished CC plates and went with a set of black MM plates. 93 Cobra Booster/Master are installed with no massaging of the strut tower...Fuggin PIA!!!!

Rear SN95 Brake/axle brackets are modified and mounted. Car now has disk brakes on all 4 corners. Pics not mine, just ones I found on the net which helped me tremendously. A great and cheap alternative to buying North Race car brackets...










I'm ironing out some of the brake lines currently and am hopeful to get the fuel system installed soon. Going with a factory Corvette Filter/Regulator, braided line and Walbro GSS340 pump in the factory Mustang tank.

Thanks man^^

It's been a slow, cold winter but im still chuggin along.

Went with a black Moroso Battery box for the trunk.


Mocked up and mounted the Corvette Fuel filter along with the appropriate Russel/Aeropquip fittings.






Installed a new Walbro 255 pump and adapter AN fitting to stock sender.




And finally routed the 6AN Aeroquip fuel line.


For reference, the following fittings were needed:

-Fuel rail Russel - 640850
-99+ Vette Filter/Regulator Wix - 33737
-Filter out - 640940
-Filter in - 640850
-Filter return - 640860
-Stock sender line to AN - 640860

get rid of those russel efi fittings for the FPR and Fuel Rail, they have a habit of popping off. There is a revised version with threaded collar. Saw some cars burn down because of them.

Here is the revised version.
