So I've been bouncing around on a lot of little things lately and a little distracted with the new Toy which was ordered august 2019! (I love it by the way!) I've installed the Cowl Duct and I'm really happy with it. See the installed pics here: Duct1, Duct2. The next endeavor is the thermostat...

Hi @ultrasportracing I did get a hold of Torrie. No dice though. Thanks for the lead anyway.

I found Torrie - a man of few words... still trying to explain what the tube bundles are to him lol!

@ultrasportracing can you DM me the contact info for Fast Parts? Really Excited if I can buy the tube bundles! 😃

@Tomcat great job on the defroster trim pieces. They look great! @ultrasportracing I would love to see pics of your final project. What did you do for your tube bundles? I know I can make these, but I'm really dreading it. I keep hoping for a wreck to pop up. As far as pictures, For some reason...

Hi Guys, I've had a lot of people ask for a set of my bushings and although I am confident on how they are constructed (machined from billet 6061-T6 and molded/bonded polyurethane) I'd like to get some road time on these before releasing them. If you want to reserve a set DM me and with a...

I do my own CAD work, but sub out the machining. My next post is kind of a change of focus where I'm making some 3D plastic parts. I'll post them later tonight.

Just looked at your vac down thread. I really appreciate the science behind the solution. Good job and nice execution!

That's awesome. Used to have a CTS-V with the LSA in it and some extra boost and it had all the power and torque you will ever need. That's going to be a fun ride!

HighHP, is there anything for the GT that you have fabbed?

I wanted to to be streetable too. Wheels will be aftermarket I’m sure, as I might need an offset. Not planning on slicks initially but it can handle them and I’m sure I’m going to want to try it. I’m part of a garage community with a track and I’m sure it will be tracked a lot.

I decided to share my project here on a new thread with all of you that are interested. Hopefully I can help anyone else going through the same thing and maybe we can solve some problems together. It doesn't seem like embedded pictures are working, so I am inserting links, instead throughout my...

Thanks Specracer. What a disaster I've made of this thread! Yes, I have an R8 but didn't mean to share that. I am starting a new thread right now. 😆

good point 2112. I'll do that in the future! 👍

So just to give a little update on my project, the lower control arm bushings are complete. I now have many bushings for the upper and lower control arms done in polyurethane. They turned out fantastic! Check out the pictures below. Upper Control Arm Bushing Lower Control arm bushing - Small...

I actually did some research on this and tracked down the designer of these arms. He said that Ford only required a 1X safety factor on these. The goal was to keep everything as light as possible without coming apart. Ford knew that it would bend, but wanted it safe enough to get to the side of...

Yes, they are machined from billet aluminum. I wanted them a little stronger than stock, since we've seen how easily they mangle up. These are about 1 lb heavier than stock. I thought the rounded square shape also made it look a little like a concept car. (which it is)

I thought the same when starting this project before researching too deep. The allure of the project was that I could actually drive it and modify it to my hearts content without the fear of it depreciating. Now I'm worried about finishing it! LOL. I will finish it, but I'd like to do it in...

Specracer, yes I will definitely sell the bushings as a kit. I expect to have them available in the next 4 weeks.

Ok, so heres the scoop on my project. I started with a new frame from Ford SN 4109. The idea was to build a widebody GT with some modern enhancements. I have the widebody panels that are shown in this picture. For those of you that might recognize it, it is the Ray Hoffman car. I'm not...
