The notch

[mustangboy]

My original thread from many years ago was deleted so I thought I'd put a few updated pics up. I just got it back and havn't got the interior back together yet and the underside needs a little cleaning as well. So this is what I have for now.

And a shot of what it looked like before I just got it back with the latest additions.

I'll have some more updated pics in a day or two.

[DeckerEnt]

Looking good there Kenny. Snap a pic of the important part. That hamster under the hood. LOL
Keith

[KobraII]

Looks good bro

[Drivermod]

Sick! Just something about a black notch on big-n-littles sittin' in the weeds. I like it.:bigthumb

[zlou363lx]

looks good, man.

[Jeff88coupe]

Looking good Kenny....hope to see it at the track before the end of the year.

[mustangboy]

Here a couple more I snapped today. I still have alot of detail work to do on the interior and under the hood. Not to mention get the new hood and then figure out if I wanna do paint or a full wrap. I would like some opinions on whether to polish my valve covers, motor plate and radiator mount or powder coat them all black. I've also considered pc'ing the wheels black as well.

That is One BADA$$ Looking Coupe!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maximus]

Im still gonna kick you in the junk for not trading!!:flipoff::lol:

[zlou363lx]

that thing looks sweet.

[mustangboy]

Im still gonna kick you in the junk for not trading!!:flipoff:


Hell you already have one kickass coupe I couldn't let you have two of them now could I. Actually now that I got the rear narrowed and a few other things done I'm glad I didn't trade.

[cstreu1026]

Definitely don't powder coat the wheels. Nothing like shiny Welds on a black coupe.

[motox159]

looks good man, do you need those trim pieces between the back wheel and door? i got some on the parts car i'm not using that i can hook you up with. my brother lives in florence and i'll be down that way soon. let me know brother.

[mustangboy]

I've already got the trim pieces, I just need to put them back on. In the end I will probably just buy new one though. Thanks for the offer.

[quik lx]

Nice clean car Kenny!!! I like the idea of a gloss black powder coat on the motor plate. (polish would be alot to maintain) I would polish the valve covers and rad mount, then do the intake in bright metallic silver as well as the water pump, but I would leave the wheels alone, or go with a set of M/T ones. They are a lot less common around here. There seems to be alot of black coupes with pro-stars.

Which hood ya going with?

[mustang8998]

Since you are only allowed to drive it on the street, (;)) might as well put a little bling under the hood. So, yes, polish that aluminum up!

As for the wheels, I don't know. I've seen some with the centers painted and they where okay. I guess thats a personal choice.

The car looks great Kenny. I'm sure it will look even better, with the hood and the other "little things" finished up. :bigthumb

[mustangboy]

Which hood ya going with?

I'm putting a HO Fibertrends 4" cowl hood on it.

[mustangboy]

Well I actually did a little work today. First is a pic of the new hood. I still need to drill the holes for the hood pins. Next is a pic of the engine limiters and alt mount before during and after powder coating. First is how they looked after removing middle is after blasting and last is before they go back on the car. The are far from perfect as they were not going to be seen so I didn't prep them to be perfect. Oh yeah I did powder my valve covers gloss black earlier this week. Hopefully I'll start tearing the intake and motor plate off to be powdered and also get my new cam installed here very soon.

Looks good Kenny.

[mustangboy]

Thanks Mark, how is your beast coming along?

[Ranger50]

What the hell Kenny.... You trying to pass that off as a small block??? ;);)

Looks good.

Brian

[mustangboy]

Well forget how that last engine pic looks. I now have the engine partially tore down. I took the intake, w/p, motor plate and front cover off to get ready to install my cam and powder coat everything. Wish me luck.

[Byrd Man]

That Hot Rod is looking good.

[Stangman]

Glad you stuck with it, it looks killer!!

I didnt wanna beat ya to it ;) :bigthumb

[DeckerEnt]

Gotta love the black valve covers. I will get with you for some powder coat trading.
Keith

[Silver Bullet]

Looks really good! It has come a long way.:bigthumb

[PKFIRE]

That looks very good!

[evildriver]

What are some specs on the car?

[mustangboy]

What are some specs on the car?

If you click on vBgarage I'm near the top, I have all the specs listed there.

[bbfstanger]

[Maximus]

Chain is here, Mezeire stuff MIGHT be here tomorrow. Ill call ya. :cool1:

[mustangboy]

did i miss it, what color is the other stuff gonna be? darth vader all blk!

I'll get some pics of it when it is all done. Hopefully sometime next week I'll have everything else powdered and back together.

Thanks Craig just let me know when it get there.

[evildriver]

You get one "Hell yeah!" for running E85.

[mustangboy]

Yeah I'm gonna give the e85 a shot and see how it works. I just picked up a set of ported big chamber heads which will allow me to go to pump gas if the e85 becomes to much of a hassle to get. Here are a few more of my progress. Got a couple more things coated in black and got the intake done as well. Should have everything coated by this weekend so should be going back together soon.

[averystang]

Car looks good, you going to keep it.

[Stangman]

That is beautiful Kenny, I can't wait to get my big block down into my 4 eyed coupe! :rockon:

[mustangboy]

Car looks good, you going to keep it.

I'm going to try to. You know how that goes though.

[kennebellcobra]

Lookin great:bigthumb Will it be at the cruise in?

[mustangboy]

Got a little more powder coating done in the last few days. I did the motor plate, front cover and did the lettering on the v/c's. Here are a couple pics of the progress. Sorry about the quality they were taken in a not very well lit garage. Also picked up a few new things today from Craig, thanks again dude for the great deals!!

Here is the v/c and yes I know there were a couple outgassing bubbles in the black. That was one of the very first pieces I did and have since learned how to correct that. BTW they look killer in natural light.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3142/2893249889_5cf0e21895.jpg

Here is the motor plate, you can barely see it in the pic which is sorta the whole idea. I'll get some better ones in daylight tomorrow.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/2894093576_9961bd3421.jpg

[DeckerEnt]

Now that does it. I will get my junk cleaned up and bring it over for the powder treatment. Looking good!!!!!
Keith

[93hulk]

Wow that looks nice.

[DeckerEnt]

Sweet!!!

[mustangboy]

I've not done a whole lot as I've been on vaca and then out of town for camping trip. I have managed to get most of the things I wanted to powder coat done now I just need to get the cam back in and let her eat. Here is a pic of the stuff just sitting on the engine to get an idea what it will look like. I'll also be painting the dizzy cap black and getting black plug wires and if the money is there I'll swap the braided hose and fittings out for black stuff. BTW if anyone would like something powdercoated feel free to pm me for a quote.

[averystang]

Looks good Kenny.

[mustangboy]

Wow its been a long time since I updated this. I will hopefully have some good news very soon:bounce:

[Maximus]

Its looking good.:bigthumb

[Walter]

Damn Kenny, that is one sweet ride!

[DeckerEnt]

I saw the pics Craig posted on myspace. Looking good!!! Dyno time yet??!!??
Keith

[Maximus]

Smells kinda funny in the shop with that there Corn fuel.:tard:

So are you gonna Pee yourself if guy buys it??:D

[Rob]

Very nice car ! Are those swingouts legal?

[mustangboy]

Are those swingouts legal?

I don't know, I guess I'll find out when I take it to get cert'd this winter.

[mustangboy]

Well it does run, but need some tuning of course and then off to the rollers. Here are a couple pics of the engine back together. And yes I do have black plug wires laying there ready to put on.

[INSANEBA]

BOING!!! That looks just like my coupe minus the big block. I'm using a twin set-up on a stock rotator. Gorgeous bud, we have very similar taste, especially in color and wheel areas. By the way, where can I get one of those custom covers for my wiper motor???

[Maximus]

Ill have to fix that coolant leak before any Dyno time.:)

[mustangboy]

I noticed that puddle after I posted the pic. Where exactly is it coming from?

[NUTTSGT]

I like the black.

[Adam@S&MMotorsports]

probably the thermostat housing, I'll take a look at it on monday;)

[mustangboy]

Thanks to Adam and Craig for taking good care of me!! As far as the black goes it looks like ass in person so I don't know if I will keep it when I ever get it painted or go another color, I've had a ton of black cars in the past.

[Maximus]

Wires and cap are painted, pics on Cincys Myspace.:)

Dyno numbers should be sometime this week.:bigthumb

[mustangboy]

You painted my plug wires, what the heck is wrong with you guys? I am battling a case of the flu so feel like complete ass right now. Hey what is the link to the Cincy Myspace?

[Carl]

Here ya go guy!

[mustangboy]

Not a whole lot new to post other than the tranny had to be pulled. When the car was on the rollers it was either slipping in high gear or blowing thru the converter so I'm having the tranny checked and sending out the converter. I'll post again once I get everything back and installed.

[Maximus]

Its under a cover all snuggled up.:)

[mustangboy]

Its under a cover all snuggled up.:)

Better your garage than mine

[Maximus]

Wheres the trans? This needs to be buttoned up so you can drive it around before the track opens.:bigthumb

[RACEME]

I have not heard anything from Jim.

[mustangboy]

I talked to him Wed and he had a bunch of trannies lined up. He hoped to get to i yesterday but sounded more like it may be early next week. He also shipped the converter out to PTC.

[mustangboy]

Well the car is back together and making some noise. Hopefully they will be able to get some good hits on the dyno. I'll post up the results if I hear anything tonight. Also guys don't expect huge #'s, remember it is a nearly stock big block w/ a couple bolt ons.:o

[mustangboy]

Poop, damn thing ran out of fuel before they got a full pass. I'm not sure the e85 and a big block are going to be a good mix. Results will have to wait till Monday.

[mustangjon]

I have a funnel you can borrow to get the fuel into the motor :eek:
I was going to help you on the powertour but not sure i can carry that much fuel lol.

Hope she runs good when the kinks worked out

[Jeff88coupe]

Poop, damn thing ran out of fuel before they got a full pass. I'm not sure the e85 and a big block are going to be a good mix. Results will have to wait till Monday.


How much did you have in the cell when you dropped it off? Mine doesn't to bad..even on the spray. I use about 5-7 gal per t&t day.

[mustangboy]

I had a full tank. They did have to break in the new cam and they made a couple dyno passes when they found the tranny was working right and ran it a while today getting the carb close. All I can say is CORN DRINKIN HOG!!

[bobtsgt]

thats great to hear its back in action. Hope you can get the fuel figured out.

[Silver Bullet]

Good Luck Monday!

[mustangboy]

Well its official my car is a turd. 270hp and 312tq. At least the motor looks good.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1179/3267911886_6c5fa55e81.jpg

Yea, but I bet it's got 300+ ftlbs torque right off idle all the way to peak ...post up the graph !!

[mustangboy]

Nope guys not a joke, here is the proof. Not to make excuses but it is through an auto w/ a 3.08 gear pulling big ol 325/50 drag radials. I know that won't make a huge difference but I'm sure it making a bit lower. I guess it is what it is and it gives a starting point to work from. I am bringing it home Wed so I'll take it down the road and see how it actually feels on the street. BTW thanks to Craig and Adam at Cincy Speed in getting it to this point. Adam did some really nice work on the car. They did not build the motor so the low #'s is not of their making.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3426/3267559451_4145290fc1_b.jpg

[Maximus]

You should post the first couple of runs.:barf:

[DeckerEnt]

I heard the vid!! Daum that thing sounds mean. I am sure the drag radials ate up a few HP. At least 30. Just say it made 300/312.
Keith

See!!! It sounds killer!!
Keith

[RACEME]

I'll bet it is only a cam an a good set of heads away from 500 hp.

[Blackpony]

Sweet ride

[NUTTSGT]

The engine looks nice.

[79hatch5.0]

its a great lookin car sounds really good to me...btw motor is killer nice job

[mustangboy]

Well it is officially gone to Georgia.

[Rick93coupe]

Congrats on the sale. It's hard to move things these days.

[Silver Bullet]

Well it is officially gone to Georgia.

I didn't even know you was selling it!:confused::confused:

[Byrd Man]

Well it is officially gone to Georgia.

Whaaaaat...

[mustangboy]

This car was exactly what I wanted a couple years ago but did not make sense to keep around. The wife still says no racing and I can't really drive the family around in it so it is just gonna sit in the garage. That is alot of money to just sit there. I also wanted to free up some cash to get my big oven and spray booth. So now I have a 2008 Polaris Ranger and a 1993 notchback roller that are both for sale. I may have a deal on the car already so will keep you guys posted on that.

[mustangboy]

Not that anyone cares about a car I don't even own anymore but the guy did take it to the track. With no mods he ran a 7.29 w/ a 1.50 60'. That is with a 3.08 gear and he's going to put a 4.56 in it so it should get out of the hole alot better. Not too shabby for only 270hp, I guess dynos don't really tell the whole story do they.

[mustangjon]

Not through autos...
