keep exterior stock you tit you own a bullitt...

 

[GallopingFord]

Haha.

Seriously, I'm telling you Cam, you need to just keep it simple. The absolute most I would do to that car aside from the bumpers and mirrors, would be different wheels. Bullitts are so simple, but so awesome at the same time. (Can you tell I have an affinity for Bullitts?)

If I wrecked my car tomorrow, I would probably be on the prowl for a Bullitt as a replacement.

When that time comes, just buy this one.

I vote gt500 conversion

And the plot thickens.

No shit. Before forums, I had no problem keeping a car stock.

keep exterior stock you tit you own a bullitt...

Words hurt when they come from people you care about.



If Vlad says it much stay stock then I must oblige.

HAHA! He called you a TIT!!

Damn, that made me snort-laugh!

 

[AnotherS197GT]

I'd love to buy your car Cam. Too bad its not DHG and I don't have money like you do!

I had to take a double take to make sure I didn't misread his post.

Lol

Started some work on the car today to install the spacers... everything went well until I realized one of the studs I was sent it not correct. I thought I fucked up the axle shaft when removing the studs. Lol

Going to try and wire up the battery today. Still can't confirm where that mysterious line goes. About to look it up.

 

[GallopingFord]

So I spent my Valentine's day with the car today.

Got the new spacers and decided to give it a go. Like mentioned before one of the studs was incorrect. I have a new stud on the way though.

Mocking up the studs

7/8" spacer

Pulling studs through. Put a bit of grease on the puller, and a washer to space out. I learned the hard way when I shredded the threads the last time I did this.

Spacer mocked up

New Russell SS lines

Rear line installed.

Went ahead and installed the brake shields on the front. Waiting on rotors now.

Side project: relocating the Sirius antenna

Need to separate the line first from the rest of the wiring loom that controls the trunk mechanism and the 3rd brake light

Going to be relocated behind the rear seat right under the rear glass

There is already a hole there, just need to drill a hole to fix the other mount of the antenna so it doesn't swivel.

Will fix the line to underneath the bulkhead. Won't be visible.

Last but not least... grinded down the corner of the FGT coil cover. Fits like a glove now on the passenger side.

I may make my way into the shop tomorrow. Depends how I feel. Got the new hide-a-way AM/FM antenna that I could mock up. I do want to plug in the battery and check out the PCM specs too.

 

[Wicked GT]

Nicely done!!! You putting the Sirius antennae and the Radio antennae in the rear window? If so take pics please... that was one of my next projects, would be nice to have someone trial and error it for me...

 

[GallopingFord]

Thanks, I've hated that sat antenna placement. I'd like to do it to my vert, but have no idea where to locate it.

The sat antenna will be relocated right inside the window behind the rear seat, between the two rear speakers. The AM/FM antenna will be mounted at the top of the front windshield, with the wiring hidden in the headliner. The antenna I got looks good, but may be too big for my liking, unless I can conceal it well.

 

[Wicked GT]

Make sure to post some pics!

 

[GallopingFord]

Plugging in battery today to test electrical

 

[Scott]

^ Good luck!

 

[moostang09]

Link on the hideaway antenna?

 

[GallopingFord]

Ras posted it earlier in the thread. Ill post pics of it later.

Plugged battery in, we have power.

Going to hook up IDS in a bit

Now, this is the craziest part of the build I've seen yet.

Look at the actual chassis mileage of my car versus the GT500 ECU

 

[GallopingFord]

Looked up the history on the GT500 ECU

VIN: 1ZVHT88S075340581

2007 Shelby GT500 in Alloy Metallic with Stripe Delete
Options included:
Navigation
GT500 Premier Trim Package

1-Owner Car
Purchased in Miami Beach, FL
2 Accidents
Accident 1: May 19, 2007, Right Front Impact with Parked Vehicle
Accident 2: June 28, 2007, Vehicle reported as disabled, vehicle towed

Last record: February 28, 2008, vehicle scrapped/junked. Last recorded mileage - 2,900

Seems like this ECU has been living somewhere else for over 20K miles.

Whoa. Super creepy. Curious where that motor has been with 20k miles.

 

[Shotokan1509]

Not GT500 cluster swapping? Or did the Bullitt have special gauges?

 

[skwerl]

The Bullitt has special gauges as well as a special dash.

Well, the thing about it is that this engine has just been rebuilt using a new block. This kit was just pieced together by me and BilletProShop, and had no relationship to this ECU.

What Brian said, if you look at my images, you can see the crosshairs in the Bullitt cluster. But no, I'm keeping the stock cluster.
