That Fox is amazing. My hat is off to you as it is obviously a labor of love.

**'80CapriRS** · 01-09-2010, 05:09 PM

Just wanted to stick my head in say that I have been following your progress and to give a huge thumbs up on one of the best executed build plans I have ever seen.

**OnEfAsT91** · 01-11-2010, 03:26 PM

good looking car.

LOL he fixed that.

Well it's been about 5-6 months since the last update. In that time Travis made the switch to the glide which turned out to be the answer he was looking for. After finally finding a guy to rebuild the transmission he had the car back and ready. Same tuneup we went 8.72 @ 153 with. Track was crap it was a wednesday night and there was no surface at all. Tried to use the 2 step and smoked the tires.... Next pass took the 2 step out and clicked this off.....

60ft.........1.25
1/8et.......5.43
1/8mp......127
1/4et........8.58
1/4mph....150

Turns out she was out of gear and Pj lifted early as she was on the rev limiter. Not to bad for a little 302 based nitrous motor with some out of the box heads and a victor jr intake. It was Pj's first 8sec pass and made it look easy.....normally he just does burnouts in the street with no windows or doors LOL. So not bad the switch from the c4 to glide netted about .15 difference in et with everything else the same. Definatly should of been done long ago. PTC did a killer job on the converter and their service has been outstanding.

Dropped the gear and tried to get some more rpm out of it but I think the gear we had was just right. It was bike night and there was hardly any cars out but we got our best 60ft ever as we got the 2step to work for the first time. Remind you this is with no 7531, no progressive and no bars.

60ft.......1.20
1/8.......5.46
1/8........125
1/4.......8.60
1/4........no mph shown ???

Now it's time for a little change

The AFR 205s and Victor Jr intake are for sale as well as the Kooks Stainless headers if anyone's interested. Hit me up

Dont have a vid of the 8.58 pass yet....here's the 8.72 one.

It's time for Surgery....now the fun begins.

Travis and his dad Bob getting her tore down. Bob may be a killer as a GM during the day at work but he's definatly not scared to get his hands dirty workin on the car. Thanks for everything Bob.

Travis got a new tow ring in the meantime.

**greenhornet347** · 03-10-2010, 02:14 PM

damm good times and good luck with the new setup...if you dont mind me asking what does the car weigh and how much juice are you running??

**superchargedv8** · 03-31-2010, 01:54 PM

Where did you get the smooth doorpanels from?

**Jeramey** · 04-01-2010, 08:25 PM

Have I mentioned I love this car?!?

**Sick88lx** · 05-07-2010, 10:49 PM

The goods have started to arrive! :weeee: Going to be an interesting month and we're not done yet. :machinegu

Commando pistons....ready for anything

New Morel Lifters

New 3/4 RV Cam

Jesel's

New Racecraft K-member should give us alot more header clearance than the 10yr old D&D that was on it....

The James Bond of oil pan's LOL

Dont think the stock pickup would've worked...

Thanks Aaron for the new Alternator Mount

Well another piece of the puzzle has arrived. Duane did a killer job on these and im sure they'll help make this little 8.2 motor move. They definatly move some air....

Got in on a group deal on a Manley setup so they have all brand new Nextec springs and retainers. Thanks again Duane

It wont be long now.....

**semperfimrn1** · 05-08-2010, 12:50 AM

**raymond8698** · 05-08-2010, 01:07 PM

damn I love this coupe, one bad Stang

**mystang83** · 05-08-2010, 02:35 PM

what did you do with your old trailer?

**Sick88lx** · 05-08-2010, 03:06 PM

still has it for towing other stuff

**mystang83** · 05-09-2010, 06:56 PM

Oh, I was just wondering cuz i think that's my old trailer. I sold it about 4 yrs ago to Pete Kotzur from Kotzur Racing Engines in San Antonio. Does it have a wench and flush mounted tie-downs on it? I loved that trailer, it tows great! BTW, your car looks awesome!

No this came from another friend of ours here in Austin, probably had it about 4yrs as well.

**Sick88lx** · 05-13-2010, 07:54 PM

Couple more things showed up today, getting closer....

**Sick88lx** · 06-11-2010, 08:45 AM

Now it's time to get busy!! Went with Travis and his dad Bob to pick up the new toy yesterday, definatly like Christmas in June. Thanks goes to John for the build and all the help he's done, also nice to have an engine builder get your stuff out on time.

Now we gotta start mocking all the accessories up and get ready to seal it all up. Seems like their isn't much but i'm sure there's a million little things we gotta do or change, there always is. Still gotta a couple things up our sleeve but I'll post those pics once done.

Only pain in the ass so far. Going to need some new valve covers!

**jimmy5523** · 06-23-2010, 11:23 AM

I love any kind of power adder, but its awful tough to beat the look of a rat nest of nitrous lines duckn and diving around the carb! Awesome car man!

**Killer281Saleen** · 07-03-2010, 07:47 PM

Bitching ass coupe!!!

**Sick88lx** · 07-18-2010, 06:38 PM

Well she's finally back hoppin and poppin....literally!! It's been 4 months in the making but the jyd coupe is back alive. It's been hectic but it's finally nearing completion, and saturday was the culmination of it all. After deliberating for about 30 mins about what's left and what are we missing Travis finally made the call......it was time. Fired up on the first hit and that 3/4 RV cam was thumpin.

Congrats to Travis and his dad Bob for the getting it back together. They want to thank those that helped in this project including Duane Busch, Sam Vincent and John Monn for putting this killer little piece together.

Now she's off to the chassis shop to get squared up and hopefully back in time for Texas Heatwave. After that their's a couple little things to change but then she should be ready.

Debut coming soon........

I know we're forgetting something....right?? Nope...yeah we are...your right we are, START!!!

**Sick88lx** · 08-10-2010, 10:55 PM

Yes it's an 8.2 deck motor still and it looks like this week will be the first time out with the new setup. Either Friday or Saturday at Midnight madness

**bradleyb** · 08-12-2010, 02:16 PM

Awesome! Well good luck to y'all and be safe!

**Bob Barker** · 08-14-2010, 07:50 PM

Honestly that's a great car but I LOVE that garage!

working on the dirty floor of my crappy, stained, smelly, and laced with infectious bacteria and various chemicals garage really hits home after looking through this thread!

**Sick88lx** · 08-25-2010, 06:19 PM

First outing was last weekend and we had to make an extra effort to get out their. Had been working on car all week and at 3pm on saturday car was running great idleing and then just dies. Finally figured it out at 9:30 when everybody had already left for Midnight Madness, of course it was a damn fuse. Needless to say that 1 motor pass was a turd. And we found out just how tight the converter was. As in 1.8 60ft, LOL

Fast forward a week and we're busting our tails to get it out their. Find out that the car only has 11.5 volts and it's not charging?? So 2 alternators later, alternator testing, battery testing, new battery we come to find out that alternator is not ground

Boom fix that and we're all ready to load up for th Atomic Dog Big Grudge Race in San Antonio. Needless to say Travis isn't going out their to run it on motor so our "2nd" trip down the track is going to be on the bottle. That's what the car is setup for and their's no time to be #####footing around on the motor.

Well it's hot as hell out their and I mean hot. Temp was around 107 NOT counting the humidity:eeek: I will say that the converter it still too tight even for the baby shot we have in it as you will see. This sucker is setup for a healthy dose of spray.... Given the track conditions, converter, amount of spray, and tuneup we had I'd say it feel pretty damn good to be back in the 8's on the 2nd pass on a new motor in this hell ass weather. Not to mention the 60ft is off a TENTH alone from the nitrous converter....she's just going to need some bigger pills and she'll really shine.

Enjoy...

Getting the cars loaded up and ready to go
