I had the day off and really knocked out a lot of stuff. Got the radiator hoses made, clutch hose figured out and some parts ordered, and a good portion of the front clip back together. Seeing it with fenders on it feels great; can't wait to cruise it around the block! But I still need a driveshaft, exhaust, put the interior back together, finalize wiring and progam, etc, etc, etc, $$$, $$$, $$$, ..........

That is looking cool Falcon, will the front settle down a little yet or is that the fix ride height ? As many have mentioned before, people certainly will be scratching their heads when they beak under the hood.

It's got 3" lowered spindles on the front but the guy used shocks that are way too long. It's basically sitting on the fully compressed shock so I think it'll probably come down some.

Here a short video of it running; sounds pretty good through open headers for a little 3.2.

Sounds AWESOME! Good work!

Not knowing for sure I'd guess you have low (intake) manifold pressure or the sensor isn't hooked up. Sure sounds healthy.

That's kool,Falcon.. Looks good sitting in there,too.. That color shouts out,doesn't it?? Nice job,mate.. Yup,,sounds interesting for a lil V6.. You are sure to upset somebody on the road.. hehe

Very cool. Congrats

That looks and sounds great !!!!!! Nice score on the heater and I like the dash.

Great progress. Looks like you are close to taking a test drive.

Jack.

Thanks; not too terribbly far. I need to get a driveshaft made, finish the wiring, hook up the clutch, and put exhaust on before she'll move.

Got a few things done over the last few days; got my column and wheel painted and back on and started fitting the inner fenderwells. Both needed a notch to clear the engine; hopefully I'll have them finished, painted and mounted for good by the weekend. Then I can start getting the rest of the front clip back together.

It sounds and looks amazing! Great work! Have you figured out the idle situation yet?

Thanks! Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's either a dirty or bad MAF sensor. Everything else is testing good. I'm sure it'll run better once it's tuned, too. I'm still torn between sending the ECM off and having someone do it, or buying one of the J3 port tuners and giving it a go myself.

If you go the port tuner way, at least you have the option to change it if you like later.
