Finally got the garage cleaned out so both cars will fit inside.

I have garage envy now....

birdman941 · 07-18-2007, 03:06 PM

Thanks guys.
I have been working on "R" so long,
I went under the hood of the Mach and the engine seemed tiny!

How long did it take to put all the tools away in the right drawers?

Looks good Steve.

The upper intake intake was a colaboration between myself and Registry member "Roy".
(Mostly Roy)
It was actually made by Roy.

If you add nitrous, how much would you spray?

Not a big nitrous fan.

birdman941 · 08-08-2007, 11:25 AM

I am currently in the midst of moving,
so further updates on the car will follow when progress is made.

3150Mach1 · 08-28-2007, 09:25 PM

Updates?

birdman941 · 08-30-2007, 08:00 AM

Car is back in the old garage again.
Just got done moving,
and currently deciding whether or not to sell the Mach in order to complete the car.
Also doing research on the 5.4 32V engine combination
for both my buddy's 5.4 swap and mine.

birdman941 · 09-24-2007, 03:35 PM

Dumb question, but IF I get this car finished,
would it be "eligible" for a Mach 1 shootout (like next year's),
even though it isn't a Mach 1?
I am thinking technically no, but it would be cool, to me anyway.
Would I have to put a shaker on it or?
