"Track Rat" Fox body build - Finished!

[exesivefire]

got the turbo mounted up, getting close to paint for the motor now..

[Unatural]

Looking good. Are you going to put an intercooler on it?

[exesivefire]

Thank you, yes I plan on some sort of intercooler in there

[topher5150]

A twin turbo setup, and an IRS...is it going to be a drag racer, or more of a pro-touring??? If you do a google search about foxbody, cobra IRS some guy did a build up on that, and it basically just bolts right in.

[exesivefire]

Single turbo, more road race, I'll probably do a drag one later.

I know the irs bolts up, luckily it's pretty easy in scale too

[crazyrichard]

loving this !!!

[exesivefire]

getting the exhaust worked out.

used stainless with a piece of solid aluminum inside to stop it from kinking. Ill hear it up to get that nice color on it.

[exesivefire]

just have to clean up the hole in the fender and add some detail to that v-band clamp and I think we can call it good. I guess I need to clean up the firewall and box the interior back in too. haha

[Jeremy Jon]

Awesome, luv'n it!

[exesivefire]

got some stuff primed, also stuffed a round tube in the exhaust hole and filled in some unused chassis holes while i was at it..

[Ford guy]

Andy, this is an awesome build! Love those wheels. Love that power plant. Very Cool.

This build is on another level. cant wait to see it finished!

[exesivefire]

I appreciate the kind words, thank you

[Metalmad]

This build is really coming together !

This thing is so cool, very nice building so far. I love the wheel setup too. I was wondering if you could take a pic of the wheel and tire next to a ruler and post it? I'm looking to see the height of the pegasus 19's for a couple of builds I'd like to use a bigger wheel on. Keep it up man.

[exesivefire]

Yeah I'll try and do that tomorrow

[exesivefire]

looks like they are just barely over an inch

[Devilsnake98]

Sweet thank you, I was looking at a couple different pegasus wheel combos but they are about 7/8" and are too short, these wide d'z will work good. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[exesivefire]

What kit are you thinkin of using them on?

[Devilsnake98]

On a 65 chevelle with a little different roof treatment. I have a set of 23's from shucky on this board, they look too big on the front so I was thinking of seeing what the 19's on the front would look like. This is where I'm at so far with it.

[exesivefire]

I think I have a 19/23 combo somewhere, I can show you the difference, but I can honestly say the 19s would probably solve your issue

[Devilsnake98]

That would be cool, thanks.

[exesivefire]

So I was working with making the drag spoiler into a lip spoiler, trimmed it up. Mocked it up as a wing and liked it. But something inside me couldn't put a "wing" on it and I trimed it more to keep going. And now I ruined it and kinda wish I made it a wing... Oh well

Live and learn
