Stack's MKIV Roadster Build
My Hot Rod has sold and I am onto the next project. Taking advantage of the 50% off options sale I bought a base kit so I can pick out the rest of the options as well. I think I am starting off pretty well and the 50% off makes the IRS option more appealing.
Here is my build
MKIV Roadster Base kit
17" Wheels
Tubular Front Lower Control Arms
2015 Independent Rear suspension
Front and rear sway bars
Front spindle and Hub assembly
Stainless side pipes
4 into 4 headers
powder coating
leather steering wheel
Floor mats
Padded Dash
RF harness
This car is going to be a budget build of sorts. I have a 302 and T5 from another project that will both be rebuilt. Pics to come once I get started on something Garage is empty and clean and headed to the open house tomorrow.

I was able to get to the FFR open house this weekend and hit up the parts sale. I picked up an AFCO radiator for $50 and a new 2015 Mustang IRS Center section with 3.55 gears for $250. I found the knuckles online for $389 with bearing assembly part number M-5970-M. I will have the AFCO pressure tested to make sure it is good since it was in the garage sale. Lots of other parts coming in from Rock Auto as well

Congrats! What about wipers and bumpers? Is NY a state that requires them for registration?

New York requires Bumpers and the quick jacks qualify for that. I have a hand operated wiper from Speedway that also meets the requirement. The wiper just clamps on and can be taken off after inspection and put back on for those sudden rain storms

Could I hear some more about this hand operated wiper please?
I need a wiper to pass initial inspection in Alabama and then I intend to get rid of it. Is yours a permanent mount or can you take it on and off?

Here you go. Just clamps on when you need it. Speedway motors search for hand wiper

Hey thanks Stack! Does that mounting piece clip directly onto the FFR windshield frame or do you have to make some sort of modification?

it comes with a rubber insert inside the clamp. It will clamp right on with no modifications

Great. Just ordered. I had a conversation last week with the state inspector about if he would allow a hand operated wiper and he indicated he would. Perfect timing to see this in your thread.

That air compressor on the top is pretty darned impressive! It's going to fill that engine bay and then some.

Lets meet up sometime. I took it over to Accurate Powder coating in the city. I just hauled it all down there and opened the back of the van and he asked the color and whatnot. Then said $300. I was expecting more as I thought wareaglescout got a good deal at $800.

I received the powder coated panels back in a little over a week. Total bill was $320 for the 80 panels i brought in. They charged $4 per piece big or small. No the fun job of remembering where they go

Stack, give me a call. Your phone goes straight to a voicemail which doesn't work. Thanks.
-
Stack-
I really like the powder coating color -- it really looks sharp!
You are also making pretty solid progress.
I have been meaning to comment on your son though. Aren't you setting him up for a lifetime of disappointment getting him to be a Bill's fan this young? ;-o)
I have been enjoying following along.
Regards,
Steve
