I'm hopeing to get a years worth of car shows under my belt. Then I don't know...still too early to say. I know for sure I'm gonna insure it with full coverage at appraised value before it goes on the road. Not going to repeat what happened to the Mach Notch.

today I've mocked up the rear seats 1 more time to get measurements for the brackets I'll need to make to mount the seat backs in the final position. There are gaps at the sides that will need to be extended out a bit and the lower seat will need to be recovered so the white stripe lines up with the seat back. At that point they will add extra material and padding between the seat bottom and seat back. Trimmed the rear quarter so it sits where it should.
Started to transfer the s197 door locks to the fox doors. I'm doing this to simplify the wiring, but also to have the PATS to work correctly and the dome light feature to work as it should.
First it's best to remove all the inner components.
Next to drill or grind out the counter sunk holes. This is to allow the inner reinforcement sheet to be flush with the outer sheet.
Next from the door section from the S197 you want to split the 2 sheets. There is some adhesive so use a blade to help do this. don't want to bend up this piece. Also when cutting this piece from the S197 you want to make sure it's big enough to hover the 3 original holes.
Center the slot to the old door latch and clamp it into position.

Weld the inner sheet though the original bolt holes.
Now trim the outer sheet enough so that you can use the holes to line up with the inner sheet and trace over the door outer so to identify the part that needs to be cut out.
Now cut the outer sheet without cutting the inner sheet. Once done I added a good size tack weld on the forward edge corners and in the middle, then trim the new outer piece so it's got a slight gap all the way around and then start welding it together.
And this is what it looks like for now.

Finished trimming the rear fender lips and now to weld up all the flange nuts for various brackets in the engine compartment and for the smog canister. Modify the Cervini hood for the shaker and Rage Gold the engine compartment 1 last time. Should be done by February.
Gonna pick up some paint this coming Friday. Just a little preview of the color I'm getting.

Kinda like what I tell myself sometime, "If you spend time thinking about it, you ain't gonna get it done. So do it."

Started to work on the driver side door lock. I think on the SN95 i just used the key lock and transferred it to the fox. The S197 has a bit different key lock so just adjusting the tumbler wasn't gonna do it. So went to the Ford dealership and found that only the Econo Van is the only one with a similiar key lock as the Foxbody. So $90 for the new key lock and about 30 minutes putting the thing together and now I have a key lock that will work with the S197 key.
If it wasn't going to work, plan B would be to just shave the driver side key hole like I did for the passenger side and the trunk.

Earlier I made the lower radiator support. Here's what it looks like. Kinda industrial looking but functional for now.
Also mounted the smog canister.
And started bonding the chopped up fresh air intake for the HVAP. My first go at fiberglass. Turned out better than expected.
Since the S197 HVAP grabbed fresh air through the firewall I had to reconfigure it to grab air from the cowl panel. So I was careful not to mess with the mounting holes, I separated the intake so I could rotate it 90 degrees. Then with the HVAP in position and positioned the opening where I wanted it, I used aluminum duct tape to hold things sort of in position and used Evercoat Kitty hair to bond the 2 parts where they were the closest together. Once the Kitty Hair cured, then the part could be handle. Then with Duct tape on the outside to shape the interior, I used fiberglass to form and seal the interior of the intake and then use more kitty hair to bond the exterior in placed with a lot of texture and crevices. Then use some 1" foam weather sealer from Ace Hardware and this part will be done.

Thought about being creative on where to mount the computer. Some have mounted it through the apron, but it just seemed like I was fighting the harness doing this. So I've decided to keep it as natural as I can.
I had to cut this section out to keep the CPU and fuse box from hitting the hood.

There was a possibility of getting back my Mach Notch hood back. There was going to be a possibility of a trade for my uncut virgin cobra R hood for the already trimmed cobra R hood for shacker, but it didn't happen. Plus the super bowl kind of took up a day....
Yeah, these are lame excuses. But honestly, mocking up locations for the various components from a car that built on a totally different platform takes extra time. If this was a Termi swap it would have been done in 2 months. I still have to locate the ABS pump and make passages through the frame rails for the fuel lines and brake lines. Then I got a volunteer to come over to fill and sand the engine compartment. At this point then it's ready for paint.
Believe me, I'm anxious to have color on it too. I hate it when my wife refers my project as a "junk car".

Well the car is not at paint yet.... Almost....
Did finish mounting the ABS Pump and also the ECU. Brack lines between the MC and ABS have been bent to work. Hopefully not going to be too crazy reinstalling this once from paint. Also finished fab work for the interior door levers.
Here is a little bit of how I did it.
The cable to the door lever was the limiting factor as to the location of the door lever.
Then I fabricated a bracket and welded a flange nut on the back side.
Here is what it looks like with the door lever attached.
Here is a quick pic of a test fit with a junk door panel. The door lever could be straighten to match the character line and tighten.
Here is the new style striker. I just drilled 2 new holes and then used the same nut bracket that was used on the S197 and welded it to the inner sheet. I over sized the hole to allow for some adjustment.
Here is all that is left to do before the car goes to paint:
1. Remove the Hood hinge cups and wire wheel the sealer off.
2. Cut out hole on driver fender through Scott Rod panel for washer bottle. (I tried to make the S197 bottle work, but sometimes it just not worth the added effort when the stock washer bottle and location works.)
3. Fill and Sand engine compartment.
4. Mount the Cobra R hood and modify hood for Shaker system.
5. Water proof all joints with sealer.
Then it's ready for paint. Weather is kinda sucking at the moment, but still got more to do.

Patients grasshopper. Actually this past weekend, went to Lake Tahoe with the family. Kinda in a holding pattern, since the painter isn't quite ready for it yet. I still need to modify the hood for the shaker and finish sanding the engine bay. This is what I'm planning on doing today.
