MJS Mk4 Build Thread

[MSumners]

Figured I should get this kicked off. The stars aligned and tomorrow, on my 40th birthday, the stewart truck is scheduled to arrive and drop off the kit sometime mid-day. Ordered in December and completion day was March 9th. I've spent a great deal of time researching on this forum and going through threads that others have been so thorough in creating. A special thanks to edwardb, wareaglescott, badasp, dadofthree and others as I already learned so much from following threads and questions. I'm not sure I would take this on if it were not for the forum help available. I don't have a ton of experience and I would imagine most of my posts will be along the lines of "check out this picture and let me known what you think", so thanks ahead of time. Probably I will try to update weekly. Most of the time Ill have will be weekends and an hour or two most nights of the week after the rest of the fam goes to sleep, so I won't be flying through this thing. I'll try to take the good advice from many on this site and research first and execute second.


So to get to it, the build plan thus far:
Complete kit, powder coat
IRS, Red Wilwoods, 18" Halibrand
Just kept the bare pipes in the kit and planning either quiet pipes or Gas'n
Dart 347 EFI with mech throttle and hydraulic clutch, Liberty TKO 600, Quick time housing, in tank pump, trick flow filter.
Leather seats
Custom dash to be determined
Breeze parts so far: Radiator shroud, upper and lower radiator mount, front battery box.
Dual Breeze roll bars
Still some things I'm certain will change along the way..


Maybe this pic attachment will work?
If it does, garage ready for delivery

Needed a place to store the body and figured ceiling of the back third stall would work. We will see tomorrow how close my measurements are if this will actually work. I have a separate pulley system I rigged up to take the body on and off as I'll be solo for the vast majority of the time. Of course this was inspired by others.
