[draggin50]

I fucked up and traded my un-finished Coupe for it to Shayne.

Well, now I'm lost! Maybe Shayne bought it from Mike. I take it that you sold it to Todd? It still shows Cincy Speed on the title as selling it to Todd.

HA! They are over there Jumping Titles and shit. I think I sold it to Shaynes brother.

[k062693w]

Yea Wait a minute !!! Wasn't this the car that Shayne's brother was building the big inch windsor for ???

You had Mike's old Vert engine in ???

I'm old an gotta connect the dots ... LOL

[draggin50]

HA! They are over there Jumping Titles and shit. I think I sold it to Shaynes brother.

Yeah it was in Todd's name. It showed you selling it to him. No title jumping. I may have said it wrong or whatever.

Yeah I put Mikes old 347 out of the convertible in it. I traded it off to a buddy for the 427 and the YSi, th400 combo. Raz then sold it and it passed through a few hands until Todd got it. Todd was building the 454 aluminum SBF for it.

He would've had to put in a lot of money to get it to do what he needed with that combo, so rather spend another $20k to get this one up to par, he can buy some ones roller for around $15K set up and ready to go.

Gotcha !!! Thought I remembered it,Just couldn't remember the specifics ...

At least she's in someone's hands who appreciates her ...


Not saying that Shayne's brother didn't, But she went through some rough times since you last had her ...


BTW, Coyote Boosted !!!

[draggin50]

Boosted Coyote would be awesome for sure!

[Maximus]

Yeah it was in Todd's name. It showed you selling it to him. No title jumping. I may have said it wrong or whatever.

So the guy Todd sold it to, jumped title and then his guy and then his guy...Etc....etc LOL!!

You should make a Timeline of owners of it and post it up. :cool1:

[draggin50]

I sold it to Steve Rasnic.
Steve sold it to Mike McLees.
Mike sold it to Shayne.
Shayne traded it to you.
You sold it to Todd.
I bought it from Todd.

I think that's how it went.

[92sc4v]

I think Brandon Doughman owned it at one time

Damnnnn that sucks.

LOL!!! :lol:

[draggin50]

Well I have an engine lined up for this car now. Need to get some paint work completed before it goes in but Im one step in the right direction.

[NXcoupe]

Cool. What engine?

[draggin50]

Got a little 347 from a buddy. It should run decent!

[Gould#22]

Almost time for 15 & 22 to reunite! 22 will be done by the end of June.

[draggin50]

Almost time for 15 & 22 to reunite! 22 will be done by the end of June.

Hopefully I get this one together soon. It needs a lot of work yet.

I did order the smooth fender aprons for it so I can get them welded in and paint the engine bay. I got with Hud who had the car originally and he is supposed to be getting me the original paint cans that he still has so I can get the colors close.

Pulling the old front suspension out. I have a Team Z K member for it.

Ill be getting the 347 tomorrow for it and possibly a TKO. From there, Im not sure where Im going.

[draggin50]

Just a little update.

Got the smooth aprons from LMR. Started getting the engine bay ready for paint. Need to get all the wiring and brake stuff removed yet. Will be pulling the fenders and front bumper cover off this week and hopefully get into paint next weekend or so.

Walters 347 is going into this one along with his TKO. Picked up a bellhousing, tranny mount, and a few other odds and ends too. I have a stock 8.8 with a 4.10 gear that will get me rolling again. Draglites from the Reef Blue car will be going on this also.

[Walter]

Oooo shit those look strong!!

[draggin50]

Picked up the Quick Time bell, fuel pressure regulator, MSD 6530 box, and Team Z pedal today. Thanks for the parts Walter!

Getting close to having all the parts I need to get it finished up once I get the engine bay painted.

Still need an aluminum driveshaft with 31 spline yoke, Team Z A arms, front coil overs, and rear suspension yet. Cant get the driveshaft to save my life. Everything is on back order right now.

[PKFIRE]

I see you being motivated! Going to be awesome!

[draggin50]

Thanks! Im doing real good at ordering parts! Ive got a ton of stuff here, just need to get it together.

[draggin50]

Got my Donathen Racing bumper supports today. Pretty nice products. One for the Gould car and one for the Reef Blue car.

Where's the Coyote ???

Coming along Buddy !!!

[Maximus]

Keep the updates coming!

[draggin50]

Where's the Coyote ???

Coming along Buddy !!!

No coyote in this one. If I do it, it will be the red coupe.


Keep the updates coming!

Will do. Im meeting up with Hud tomorrow to pick up the original paint that he has kept for all these years. Its not good Im sure but it will help me match things up and give me the correct colors. Once I get the engine bay painted, the motor is ready to go in.

[draggin50]

Went over to my buddy's tonight and he had some of the original paint from when the car was built and he gave the cans to me. Paint from the mid 90's, still in his basement. Should make it easy to paint it back again.

[NXcoupe]

You got the formula numbers right on the front. Provided the epa nazis haven't forced the manufacturer to stop making any of the bases. If they have lead they are forcing them to stop making them. It'll still be a close match tho. Cool he kept all that.

[draggin50]

No lead. The other stickers on the side give all the good information and they are still legible. Crazy how something so small so make ya so happy! It was like I just got a new intake or something when I got home with them.

[NXcoupe]

I get it, I do. I'm happy for ya.

[draggin50]

Stifflers crossmember, clutch cable, and firewall adjuster will be here tomorrow. Im real close to having most of what I need to get it thrown together.

[draggin50]

Hard to believe but it took me almost 3 weeks for a Hurst shifter handle to show up. 1 more piece of the puzzle I guess.

Dropped the car off to get the engine bay fender aprons welded in and painted.

Hopefully have it back soon. Im ready to get this one running and driving!

[JIMS SVT]

Good time for a tubular front end .

[draggin50]

I thought about it but this one is just going to be a street car that I drive a bunch. Don't need anything to wild.

Unger has it and he is doing the work.

[JIMS SVT]

Makes for a better street car

[draggin50]

Engine bay is painted. Gonna head over and get it this weekend. Once its back, suspension is going in and then get the motor and tranny in it. Cant wait to get this one running!

Not yet!!!

I think its taking another turn. Ive now talked myself into cutting this one up for the mini tubs. The reef blue 93 will be the driver now. This way I wont have to build another rear end and buy more front suspension parts. And once I get the 427 done, it will just go into this one.

[draggin50]

Installed the Team Z k member and 1 inch shorter A arms. Have a set of 94 spindles and brakes to put on it yet along with the Strange 10 ways and 12-150 springs.

Some time back I met Mrs. Gould at Finishline Performance and was telling her about this car when Todd had it and was redoing it. She was so excited to hear it was being restores and knew which car I was talking about when I mentioned the colors. It would be really neat for her to get to see it when its finished. You could get a hold of her through Brian at Finishline Performance. She is a sweetheart and fun to talk to. Loves her Lincoln Mark VIII she still drives.

That is cool as hell!

[draggin50]

I always loved this car. I know its a 90's style paint job but that's what makes it so cool to me. That's what got me into these cars. Plus owning this one before when my kids were small, gives it some sentimental values to it.

Now I cant wait to drive it again!

[draggin50]

Headers, transmission crossmember, and some other little odds and ends are on. Getting closer!

I may try to get it fired up this weekend. Gonna be a busy one with a couple car show's I want to go to so it may push out a little further.

Maysville 606 Cars and Cola is Saturday 2-5 at the Maysville Brewing Company. Usually a real good show with some cool cars.

My oldest boy and his girlfriend just brought me my birthday gift! New carpet from LMR. Man, its gonna look good! I have Kirkey seats for it but I will need to get some new grey covers instead of the black ones I have.

[draggin50]

Picked up some more parts...

UPR Pro Series upper and lower control arms
UPR bump steer kit
Team Z drag springs
4.10 gear
Spherical bearings

Need to get the rear end tore apart and welded up. Then to get it all reassembled and put in. Id love to drive this one before the snow flies but I still have a long way to go.

[NXcoupe]

Keep at it. I focus on one project at a time and they seem to get done. Except for the Belvedere, I buy parts for that as I find them because they are so few and far between.

Bump steer kit, UPR uppers and lowers, Team Z drag springs, Moser girdle, and spherical bushings. 8.8 from the 95 GT that I parted out. Going to get it apart, tubes welded, and braced, then reassembled. Staying with the stock width and the disc brakes. Moser 31 spline axles and a trac-lock is on the way.

Rear end is apart and I dropped it off to Rob at Rogue Race Cars today to get it welded up and braced. Staying with the stock length, 31 spline Moser axles, trac loc, Moser cover, and a 4.10 gear. My buddy Ricky (Evolved) hooked my up with an aluminum driveshaft. I have the 31 spline slip yoke coming this week along with the North Race Car rear caliper brackets. I should have close to everything to get this one rolling and fired up soon.

I am switching over to manual brakes too. I bought the Maximum Motorsports manual brake kit. Now to figure out which master cylinder to run. Whats everyone using???

I use a 96 V6 mustang master cylinder for 4 wdb conversions. The MM kit moves the pivot point upwards to give you more leverage to push the pedal. It also moves the mc upward so the pushrod stays straight. I used to use the skinny kid race cars kit but I believe the MM to be a better unit.

[draggin50]

Is the 96 V6 master cylinder different from the 94/95?

I bought the MM manual brake kit due to everyone suggesting it. Must be a good kit!

[NXcoupe]

Yes it is. The 96 V6 actually has a little bit larger piston in it than the GT ones, and the fittings work better. MM conversion from 3 hole to 2 hole master cylinder screws right into the 96 V6. I think that's where I got the idea was from them about 20 years ago.

[draggin50]

Got my slip yoke today and put it on the driveshaft. One step closer! Drug in a 94 V6 car that had brand new powerslot rotors on it and new calipers. Front and rear. So they will get used!

Also got my North Race Car caliper brackets. Once the rear end is back, I can get it on the ground! So close!!!!

I think I have all the parts I need except for the radiator, line/fittings, and some fuel line and fittings.

[PKFIRE]

Putting in some work! Glad to see you moving along on this!

Ive been plugging away. Not getting as much done as Id like but every step fwd is one closer to being done. Maybe Ill get it fired up eventually!

[draggin50]

Pulled the old carpet out tonight and tried to clean up some wiring. My boy got me new carpet for my birthday a while back so its time to get it in. Ill be switching the black Kirkey seat covers over to grey also.

Freakin Sweet!!

[draggin50]

I need a good radiator... With AN fittings. Which one is the best? Any one have a used one?

[Maximus]

ANY Aftermarket Aluminum Radiator will work. I have a No-Name one in my set-up and I had the -16 Bungs welded on.

[draggin50]

I have a couple of the SVE radiators and they are just so cheaply made. Wasn't sure if Afco, Griffin, or Fluidyne are any better any more. Not looking for the epoxy tubes.

I talked to Rob and he is a dealer for Afco but they are pretty far out right now.

[Walter]

Niiiiiiiice!

[cstreu1026]

I have a Frostbite aluminum radiator in my car and so far I’m happy with it. The car doesn’t get any warmer than 180 with it.

Its nothing to impressive but Im happy as hell to hear it run! Baby steps!

[redfirepearlgt]

Dude! That thing sounds wicked. Was I able to make that sound 80's cool enough? LOL! Well done man. I hope to see it make some passes next season if not sooner.

Haha, You got it close!!

Ill have it out for sure come spring time. Ill be sure to get you to show up!! These past 2 years have been a wash.

[Rick93coupe]

Ron Davis is another option Brian.

[draggin50]

Ill have to check them out. Thanks!

That should be the last big piece holding me up. Still need a master cylinder also and run brake lines. Rear end should be done next week.

[PKFIRE]

Car sounds great!!!

[draggin50]

Thanks Joe! Cant wait to get it on the ground and moving! Kinda happy to have this one back.

[draggin50]

Ill be picking up the rear end from Rob on Sunday. Then to get it in, plumb the brakes, adjust the control arms, and get it down on the ground rolling. Another step closer!

[PKFIRE]

Moving along!

[draggin50]

Moving along!

Trying to make a little progress! Slow goings now.

[NXcoupe]

Sounds great Brian. Was a little disappointed to see a carb on it, but whatever it takes to get it back on the raod.

It may get changed on down the road. I bought it from Walter complete so I wasn't really able to switch things up right off. I do have a stock harness and computer for it but If I go back to EFI it will probably be a Holley set up anyways.

[Walter]

Probably slow it down putting efi on it

[NXcoupe]

If the only difference is efi, it will pick up slightly.

Id bet a track burger it wont!!

[draggin50]

Picked up the rear end from Rob Lewis on Monday. Stock fox width, 31 spline track loc, 4.10 gear, Moser carrier studs, axles, and girdle.

I have new brake lines to put on yet along with the North Race Car caliper brackets. Hope to get it put in this weekend and get it on the ground. Have UPR uppers and lowers with Team Z drag springs.

[draggin50]

Anyone ever dicked with North Race Car rear caliper brackets??? Not sure what I have going on.

I ordered the NRC brackets for the 94/95 GT rear brakes. Also ordered the Moser axles for fox length with the brake register for the rotor. It looks like Im about a half inch short from getting the caliper bracket to line up with the rotor. They give you a spacer and some washers but I really need 2 of the spacers to make it close. Im sure its something Im doing wrong.

[NXcoupe]

I've installed a bunch of them. My red rocket has them on the rear with cobra brakes.

[draggin50]

I called them up yesterday and I talked to Richard for probably 20 minutes. Seems like a real good guy. He said I can space them out as far as I need and he has another set of the 1/4" spacers in the mail. Now just to find longer bolts.

[Walter]

Weird that its supposed to bolt up, but needs a bunch of spacers.

[draggin50]

Still working on getting the rear end finished up and installed. I need to start running brake lines now.

Picked up the new master cylinder. Have to get it on along with the MM manual brake conversion. Then to figure out how to run the brakes lines, line lock, and proportioning valve and residual pressure valve. 2 port 94/95 master cylinder.

You aren't kidding! Man Ive been busy as hell lately. Seems like as soon as I get one car fixed, Im moving on to another only to circle back and work on the others again. Cant get caught up!

Hopefully I start making some progress soon. Id love to at least see this one on the ground in the next week or so.

[PKFIRE]

That rear end looks great! I’m still in the hunt for a 8.8.

[draggin50]

If I come across any, Ill let you know.

Rob does great work. If you need one done, he is the man!

[draggin50]

Finished making the brake lines for the rear end. Have the brakes mounted now. Cut down the anti-moan brackets to work and have them ready to be welded back up. May try to get that done today and maybe get the rear end up under the car. Be nice to have it rolling soon.

Still have all the maximum motorsports manual brake kit and pedal kit to install and brake lines to run.

[PKFIRE]

Making progress!

[draggin50]

Making progress!

Very slowly!!!

[draggin50]

Rear end is in the car and started tightening things up. Still have a ways to go before spring. Big thanks to Rob Lewis for the rear end work! Turned out great!

Picked up another project... Like I needed it but its cool and Ive been looking to get another old rat rod.
30 Coupe with a 312 Y block and a Saginaw 4 speed. Will be pulling it out and putting a 302 and a C4 in it.

May pull the 302 and the C4 out of the red car for it. Hope to be out driving it come spring. It wont need much. Just throw a bunch of junk together.

Ive always liked them. I got bored with my 30 pick up and ended up selling it like a dummy! Now I get to start back over.

I enjoy the stance on that Foxbody, always have.

Going to make for a fun little cruiser! Back to being driven more and enjoyed. Glad to have it back and to be able to fix it back up again!

[draggin50]

Was able to push it outside the other day and clean up underneath it. Still haven't made any real progress.

Started putting new carpet in yesterday. Once I get that done, I can start putting the interior back together.
