I installed one last month. Very happy with the quality of the leather and craftsmanship. The padding for my old elbow does not hurt either!

I lloked at the bigger pics of it and it does look great.

I second the roll bar! Looks really sharp and would love to have my painted to match the car!

Will be one of the next major mods I take on once I get the car back.

Looks good Terry!

Thanks.

It looks really nice when seen in person.
It is a 1st class Roll Cage for sure.
Add Both swing-outs and it is super easy to use on the street.

You can have Custom Finish on it.
I went with flat black to Blend in with the Bullitt interior.

I agree!!

The whole head rest to roll bar clearance issue has me a little concerned but I'm sure I'll get over that.

The custom rear seat delete is awesome.

Tiger you may have already answered this and I just overlooked it. Are you running a 6 rib or 8 rib belt setup?

6-Rib and I can tell you it is NOT-Slipping. :beerchug2:

I am also running a 6 rib without any slipping issues.
Just for your info.
I did discuss the 8-Rib.
Just was not necessary so ........

I do have these items.

Steeda Upgrade Belt Tensioner W/Billet Wheel
Oversized Water Pump Pulley

They work as there is No-Slippage.

Sounds good!

I would definitely go with the both swing out doors. Even thinking about doing the 8-point upgrade!

I did consider the 8-point but then I thought, how often am I really going to Track it.
(Mainly Street Driven)
So 6-Point it was.

Well... you definitely made a good choice with the cage! It looks freaking awesome and it seems like alot of people are interested in picking one up.

I know you will see my car sporting one soon enough!

I just looked through all of the pics Terry, and I must say... what the hell else is there left to do!?!? Swap power adders maybe? Hahahaha!

Such a great build that's been a pleasure following for quite some time now!

I gotta ask, I see your Bullitt plaque on the lift...is that a dedicated lift for the Tiger Machine? If so, you've officially made it my man!

I absolutely love your car bro!

Newest Changes on the way & Service Requirments !!!

Hi,



OK here is the Latest on the New Machine.

As I said in the other above Post there was a
New-Change coming.

You all should know by now that when I try something and I am not {Satisfied} I will make a change.

That being said I am NOT satisfied with my New Current
Borla Atak Mufflers.

So, here is what I am trying next and I just got an E-Mail with the (Tracking Number) so they are on their way.

This coming week these will be under the New "tigermachine".

Also in the morning I am dropping by the Local TN. Speed Sport and pick up TCI Max Shift Transmission Fluid.

Then going by Ford Dealer and picking up a new Ford 5R55s transmission filter.

TCI recommends changing transmission fluid & filter at
500 miles.



TCI Max Shift Transmission Fluid







Max Shift - Racing Transmission Fluid
Max Shift RTF has been tested and proven to run up to 30° F cooler, even during extreme-heat racing sessions and repeated usage. TCI Max Shift RTF is uniquely formulated using a new oil-soluble molybdenum additive that greatly reduces internal friction and heat, yet does not affect clutch and band lock-up. It is made using base oils with extremely high viscosity index and the fluid contains a special defoamer agent that reduces fluid foaming even at 10,000 rpm. In addition, Max Shift RTF contains extreme pressure additives to help control gear fatigue and fracture, actually forming a fluid cushion from metal-to-metal contact.​

Also when I have the TCI Transmission fluid serviced I am going to have the Oil & Filter changed.
