  1. Engine oil cooler repaired/replaced

    Mach 1 uses the Gt350 air to oil cooler. Issue with these is they get easily damaged due to location. Best route is to have ford service department pull a full repair history like others have suggested. I would pay attention to how many miles since repairs to cooler. If recent then I would...
  2. Saving Mach 1 Chassis M1841

    Rear tow hook because we track the car. Didn't like many of the available options so made my own. It a 1/4" plate that sandwiches between the bumper beam and the body and has a bracket that runs forward to another body attachment to help with the pull loads. Hook is removable if desired...
  3. Saving Mach 1 Chassis M1841

    Couple more updates... Installed the S650 Strake air deflectors. There was discussion on how to make them work with the Mach1 belly pan. I simply trimmed the belly pan a bit and put the strake over top. It then shares a fastener and then gets 3 new holes and fasteners on the subframe. I...
  4. Rear tow hook/strap install

    It’s a 1/4” plate that sandwiches between bumper beam to body attachment. There is also an attachment that runs forward for another body attachment point. P
  5. Rear tow hook/strap install

    Looks like a great solution. I kinda had the same dilemma, bought the FP hook and didn’t warm up to losing the back up light. I then bought a universal flat hook with the intention of mounting just like you did having it poke through in the same manner but was afraid it’d look like a red...
  6. IKON GT500 Hood + Decal + QL-50

    Exactly, and it needs to be wider than the vent. The vent should fall within the matte finish part of the stripe.
  7. What did you do to your Mach 1 today

    Fabricated and installed a functional rear tow hook. Didn’t like available options .
  8. IKON GT500 Hood + Decal + QL-50

    Very curious how your decal solution comes out, look forward to seeing it. Love the hood but want a correct looking M1 hood stripe.

    Absolutely.... Clutch Reservoir - Dorman CM350070 The Ranger remote reservoir can only be purchased as an assembly with the slave cylinder that I was able to find. It was only $40 and the included hose comes in handy as a replacement to the plastic hose on our cars. The GM 92065790 GTO reservoir...
  10. Saving Mach 1 Chassis M1841

    Thanks, appreciate the kind words. Warranty is for a production defect, running it out of oil because the cooler got knocked off isn't a production defect. I would never expect Ford to cover the costs of someone else's oopsie. Plus Ford system can see that its a rebuilt title and that in...

    Thanks but waaaay past that point. 4 pages of progress you must have skipped over.

    Yes, good eye! That is Tom Barnes, some of you might recognize him as the Mustang Vehicle Engineering Manager before he retired. Super nice guy, always a pleasure to interact with.
  14. Saving Mach 1 Chassis M1841

    Thanks, appreciate the kind words. Here’s a short clip I captured of Max driving, he’s 17 and first weekend on track with an instructor friend. The GT500 exhaust doesn’t sound too bad. The other velocity blue HP was in front of him by about the same distance on the previous lap. He...

    Put some break in miles on it through the summer and then hit an HPDE at Gingerman raceway in Southhaven Mi last fall. Car ran fantastic, very impressed with the Mach1 HP capability! This was Max’s first event as a driver, he’s been going with me for years with our 82 GT. Not sure what...

    Way overdue for update, kinda forgot about this thread. Engine is together and back in the car. Has been since about this time last year. Son Max helping out. GT500 oil pan and GT350 cartridge oil filter were nice adds. Oil pan does drive some plumbing changes to the trans cooler lines...
  17. Debris in Brake Reservoir

    Same concept but using a Ranger reservoir.
  18. Michigan Wanted - Watson Roll Bar

    I did but prefer the Watson. Thanks
  19. What did you do to your Mach 1 today

    Made a pair of full length jacking rails to work with my FP trailer tie down brackets. I prefer to put my jack stands as far apart a possible so wanted something that went further rearward than what’s available. Will get them powder coated next week and order plastic end caps and plugs for...
