probably going to keep it white for the time being. This build is costing a lot more than I originally planned. The body is actually pretty clean, ill prob just take care of a couple dings, tint it out, toss on a new hood and get it sitting right at least to get me through next year
Friggin always seem to work out that way doesnt it! lol
Well, keep at it man, we are all excited to see it roll out!

Finally making some more progress. Car is really starting to come together now
I went to a T6 flange now incase I ever want to upgrade to a big turbo. Looks so funny with a little compressor and large exhaust housing, but oh well
The y-pipe is starting together too should look really good and have nice transitions as well. Turbo will be hard mounted to the fender so it needed two flex joints to be added as well

Got some more updates:
Got the crossover finished, intercooler piping finished, and the downpipe ALMOST finished
Here is a pic of where the turbo meets the y-pipe, its is hard mounted to the frame rail and the wastegate inlet is tied right into the merge.
Here is the new upper intercooler pipe, which has a wiggins clamp on it as the pipe passthrough is now hard mounted to the fender
The passenger side framerail was also cut and boxed back in to allow for room for the turbo to fit and allow access to the hoseclamp
Here is a better shot of the y-pipe and the new downpipe as it is routed down and out the fender.
It has 2 4" "mufflers", dont know how much muffling theyll actually do though
This is my exhaust exit location, still needs some trimming as the tip doesnt site as flush as id like, but im going to get it where it sticks out about 1/4-1/2 inch evenly all around and matches the body line of the bumper.

No, the car has been at kind of a stand still for the time being. I was originally going to run a glenns tank but have decided to go with a sumped fuel cell and cutting out the rear floor. so ive put the whole thing on the back burner
For gauges I was going to run the OBD2 racepak dash and just let it read everything that way. Once I get it running ill probably just run an aftermarket Fuel Pressure and Oil Pressure gauge and use HPTuners for everything else right off my laptop

I agree, this body stye mustang and the coupes make for a very good looking drag car. Plus the rear suspension works very well. Nice work and a good collection of parts. Good luck with the build !!!!
