    Please graduate F5R7841 - 15YR Anniversary Mk4

    It's been quite the journey and I think it's about time to call her done. Perhaps I'll add a few more photos later but I figured if I wait for the perfect shots I will take as long to put the graduation thread together as it took to build it.

    I want to thank all the guys that did a much better job in sharing their build threads than I did. With out this forum and their help I would still be floundering. Of course if it wasn't for this forum I'm pretty certain I would have spent considerably less on my build. I also need to thank Mario - Frittobandito for constantly pointing out my chronic analysis paralysis and always being there when I needed a hand.

    Let's not forget - Paint by Jeff Miller (DaBat)

    Pretty hard to list all the mods. but here are a few to note.

    Custom Competition Dash
    Custom Glovebox and Door
    FFMetal Firewall Forward
    FFMetal Dropped Battery Box
    All new Radiator Aluminum
    Radiator Fan Shroud
    Hydraulic Clutch
    Mechanical Throttle Linkage
    All stainless steel hard lines for Fuel and Brakes
    Dropped Trunk Mod.
    Fully rewired RF harness
    Stainless side louvers
    New rollbar, tangent kit, smooth welds

    The list pretty much never ends in my head so I think I stop for now and share a few photos.

    A real beauty. A pat on the back for you. Good job. And thanks for the assists from you on my build.

    A couple questions while I drool over your pictures:

    Whose side view mirror is that?
    Did you have to "massage" the license plate light & bracket to the right to center it on the trunk (and stripe)? (I think I see the Kleiner vertical mod there...)

    And finally, I'm curious, with that beautiful engine, and the shamefully obvious license plate, are you planning the "427" fender badging?

    Enjoy the road ahead.

    (Are you going to Huntington Beach? Love to see it in person.)

    A couple questions while I drool over your pictures:

    Whose side view mirror is that?

    The mirror is a Raydot replica from CJPonyParts. The bracket is custom and the thumb nut is from ********** accessories. The black spacer is a piece of black Delrin drilled and polished.

    Did you have to "massage" the license plate light & bracket to the right to center it on the trunk (and stripe)? (I think I see the Kleiner vertical mod there...)

    I did have to "massage" everything and Jeff Miller did his magic with the stripe. I did use the famous Kleiner Mod.

    Kleiner Mod..jpg

    And finally, I'm curious, with that beautiful engine, and the shamefully obvious license plate, are you planning the "427" fender badging?

    I am still on the fence for the side badges. I can do the Ford 427 badge to go with the engine, use the 15 Year Anniversary badge or just leave it naked. So far I like the roadster with out any emblems.

    Enjoy the road ahead.

    (Are you going to Huntington Beach? Love to see it in person.)
    I am bringing the roadster to Huntington Beach. I really hope all you guys come over and say hello. I'll be the paranoid guy sitting by my car questioning every move of a passerby.

    Thank you all for the compliments - Greatly Appreciated
