Last I hear about fiesta prerunners is no 2025 but 2026 will be permitted with both spots etc.

Got the hubs rebuilt New rotors and bearings made a cardboard caliper bracket gotta cut it in the next few days

Thank you, I like to work with what I have and hate having to leave in the middle of a project to buy stuff. I’ve got a little craftsman lathe that really allows me to make stuff on the fly. I had even turned some ORB schrader valves into a ORB to 1/8npt adapter but I ended up not having enough...

They do sell the jigs also. Old buggies are rad I always try to get people to buy them.

I had that tailgate thickness issue on my frontier. You can see it in my original picture. They make an aftermarket slimmer piece though helps a lot for just steeping bikes in the bed

I’ve swapped to roof rack mount on the car. Cheap Amazon through axle and rear just Velcro straps around the tire. That 2x6 is cool

Called pro am. Can’t get any sort of adapter bearing from combo to King Kong based architecture. Cut the snouts off my current spindles and welded king Kong snouts on. Not quite done yet need to still weld the backside. Had the back of the mounting face of the hubs machined to fit 4 piston...

Since my last post I’ve had the car out a few times. First go around was a day trip and the car did okay minor clutch adjustments and did like 60 miles. Got stuck in the sand Second trip the fuel cell foam went bad and I was fighting fuel starving the whole time plus rich jetting. Shocks over...

Seems like all my photos broke. I don’t have 220 volt for my welder at the house setup yet so I towed the car to a buddies shop and put a day in. Engine cage done, Exhaust done Moved the drivers seat down a bit carb has a 4k rpm stumble seams lean a lower vaccum power valve helped need to...

Got the radiator lines in. Ended up finding some basically 1.25 inch heater hose hose and used couple hard 90s for turns. wired up the ignition the 6a box that came with the motor was no good. Found a points distributor on rock auto. Figured if they go bad I could throw a pertronix module in it...

Still trying to figure out direction with the coolant lines. I could build hard lines out of aluminum u bends Or I could do more of a miter setup but that won’t flow as well I could run silicon 1.25 heater hose but that’s not cheap. Mental math is close to 20 ft but I’ll do some measurements...

moving forward onto radiator mounting. Was looking into behind the motor like vertical on the engine cage. Seemed okay but then I noticed some tubes that run the length of the tunnel looks like they used to be coolant lines. They are cut at a weird angle anyone have a fix for this? Any maybe...

Got the ford 2.3l mounted. Stage 1 Kennedy pressure plate with a stock disk. Turned some 1inch .250 wall for a solid mount style bushing. Done on a lil craftsman lathe. Wasn’t too happy with doing chromoly. I need to make a more rigid tool holder setup. Cutters always walk off center. Getting a...

Originally joined to hopefully get some inspiration to work on my F100.<<<click link<<<< That didn't really happen and I felt like it needed too much work to work properly. The whole truck was kinda thrown together out of whatever parts I could scrounge up and that created a pretty unreliable...

Sold it to a dude up in Lompoc. Came to the conclusion I was gonna have to redo the whole truck to be where I wanted it but it worked fine If i didn't run it so hard. Swapped for a Baja bug. I occasionally get a call from the guy having issues with the holey sniper (big surprise). If I did it...
