Project Large Caliber - Cam's NEW 2009 Bullitt Build Thread

[GallopingFord]

Picked up the wheels today.

 

[Scott]

^ very nice!

 

[GallopingFord]

Did header install and got some of the interior back together. I wish I had transparent fenders to see these things all the time! Lol

 

[JUSTA3V]

No clutch upgrade while its out?

Or it ain't broke so I'm not fucking with it. ?

 

[GallopingFord]

I figure that I can get another year out of the 2012 GT500 clutch I put in originally. It has 2000 miles on it, but it does show some abuse. Lol

 

[skwerl]

Those are some big pipes!

 

[sidvicious]

Got big time engine envy now

 

[GallopingFord]

Lol. Just placed the order for a new Thump Tensioner, 83" Gates Green Belt, and NGK TR8 IX plugs. Probably the last things I wanted to purchase and install before I get the engine back in. Last two things I need to buy, before getting the car to the tuner will be the intake and BAP.

After tuning, I'll start on body shop stuff: new GT/CS front and rears and the glass roof install. Most likely after all that I'll start tinkering with a new suspension setup.

Have you sold your 500 yet?

 

[GallopingFord]

No. Still I still have it, just in storage. Will probably try selling it in the spring/summer.

See, header installs are pretty simple, I'm not sure why everyone complains about them

Those wheels are going to look great on there!

 

[TRC51]

Is it just me...... or do I see some open spaces in that hood?

Just you. Nothing is going on with the hood... Yet

 

[bujeezus]

Them headers are dead sexy.

 

[AlbertD]

I can't wait to hear this monster.

Glass roof? Nice!! I've always wanted to know how hard those are to put in.

 

[GallopingFord]

Yeah, I've missed the glass roof immensely from my 2012 GT500, and my Fiances previous 09 GT. I know a lot didn't see the value in it, but for me it is my favorite part of the interior. Been wanting to install one for a while. I came up on a '13 GT500 salvaged and they were selling the roof section, complete from A-to-C pillar and with the headliner.

So we will be dissecting my stock roof and the donor piece to assemble it just like it came from the factory.

 

[tigerhonaker]

Cam,

This is going to be an interesting project to see and follow for sure ^^^

[bujeezus]

Can't wait to see the progress shots on this next evolution.

 

[Deez-67]

Yeah those glass roofs are amazing once you sit in one.
