here are pics of the car, almost paid for and parts are a coming for it.

the chicken/

the plans:

Interior: mix of fox parts, blue and black in color. race buckets (i'm getting them for free), guages, and a mild stereo (cd/mp3, speakers and a single 12)

Exterior: different grille, rear window louvers, paint black or dark blue, mk7 snowflakes (rims), lightly tinted windows, either a tc hood, or a stocker with a shaker kit, wing windows in the doors

Driveline:
motor: 1997 or newer explorer 5.0 longblock. aftermarket valvesprings, edelbrock single plane carb intake, motorcraft 600cfm carb (the old 460's had them), H.O. cam, clean and shave the heads, shorty headers, x-pipe and duals. msd dizzy and coil, factory duraspark. e-fan and hd radiator

trans: aod rebuilt as a wide ration with 4r70 guts. floor shifter.

axle/suspension: gonna swap in the mk7 airride, since they used actual airbags rather than the tastic airstruts, 3.55 gears, adjustable shocks, tracklock, heavy swaybars, 245-series tires

chassis: aftermarket mustang k-member, aftermarket shock tower braces (front and rear), k-member brace, subframe connectors

misc: replace all incandesents with leds, hella headlight conversions, smog, egr, and ac delete

dont think i forgot much, but thats the list. most of what is there is there for a reason, if anyone is wondering why so much stock stuff, well plain and simple its miraculous what you can do with factory parts....

Sounds good...but your link doesnt work. Just be patient - I've had plans for my car since it was first handed to me 5 years ago and I'm just now getting around to them. Welcome to the board!

ok, here is the gallery of pics, i had to use my other account. http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk100/theconstantevolution/bleeding%20chicken/

i have no idea why it has white leather seats though.... i hate the center console......but it is full length....gonna s the tape deck for a cd player, make a custom plate behind the bezel to hold the radio. the extra half-din under the radio (or above, depending on how i do it) is where the switches will go for the airride overides.hopefully enough room for all the switches plus the amp killswitch (i always run my remote turn on through a switch so i can kill the bass when i roll past a cop. my cars usually warrant enough attention without adding to it....)

Cool, Nice start.

Cant wait to see what you do with it, Mines still kind of in limbo... has been for years sadly, It's time will come to shine. :D

Interior seats look like they are out of a Fila bird, lol.
The leather is in really really good condition actually.

I was serious about the interior. I dig the unique color combo.
