    Graduation

    Time has come to say I have reached graduation. Today I applied the 25th Anniversary badges. That marks a major mile stone in the build of my dream. I want to thank FFR, Breeze Automotive, Forte’s Parts Connection, Jeff Miller, 520Speedworks for the assistance and the parts to get me to the finish line. This stared in November 2019 as a bunch of parts and an awesome forum that is exorbitant of knowledge through its members. Here are just a few pics of this awesome car I built.

    Good color combo and alternative wheels. One of the few non-halibrand wheel I have liked on these cars.
    Be sure to apply a spat type protection on the front of the rear wheel arch, in time that area will get sandblasted. There are many different approaches, from aluminum, leather, or some kind of wrap type vinyl. I used a carbon fiber look vinyl that held up well.
    MK4 base kit, 2004 Mach 1 donor, 4.6L DOHC, TR-3650 5-speed, narrowed stock axle with 3.55 gears and TruTrac, PS, PB, ABS, 17" Halibrand replica wheels, started 12/2011, registered 9/2014, sold 3/1/2018.
    1970 Mustang Fastback Coyote powered Boss 302 tribute. Started 10/14/16.
    Gen 3 Coupe Base Kit non-donor build. Ordered 4/5/2024 to be received August 2024.

    Fabulous job there! Beautiful! I'm getting close (just need the DMV inspection then break-in then body & paint) and your accomplishment is a great reminder of what I'm 'driving' toward.
