    Patrick's 427 Build

    I pulled the trigger and ordered my MKIV kit. Completion date is 2/2/19.

    I have no knowledge or experience when it comes to building a car. I went to the Mott College Build school which was helpful, but I anticipate this forum will be the main source of help when problems arise.

    I've been reading multiple build threads (EdwardB, Papa, Wareagle, etc) in preparation for my kit to arrive, so I already feel like I've learned a lot about problems and troubleshooting, although I'm sure the reality of what I'm getting myself into will set in once those 26 boxes arrive.

    I only work about 15 days a month, so I anticipate I'll be able to dedicate a lot of time to the build. No kids (yet). No wife (yet).

    My plan is as follows:

    MK4 Complete kit-powder coated
    IRS
    427w engine Holly Sniper (from the Engine Factory) Pic at bottom.
    In-tank Fuel system
    Tremac TKO 600
    Power Steering
    Halibrand wheels
    sway bars (front and rear)
    Wildwood brakes (red calipers)
    Drivers side chrome roll bar
    Breeze Radiator shroud
    Russ Thompson turn signal
    Drop trunk.
    Leather seats
    Vintage gauges
    Glove Box
    Wind Visors
    Sun Visors
    Pre-assembled side louvers

    Again, I'm the definition of a novice, so any help is MUCH appreciated. I look forward to the challenge.

    Thanks in advance,
