    NuHale 65 Coupe Build Thread - Drillin' and Clecos

    Wasn't planning on it this early in 24' but with the announced sale and potential for price increase I decided now better time than ever and jumped in first thing today. Deposit down with an end of May pickup planned. Looking forward to the build as even though I love my MKIV I really miss the building process.

    Went with a 65 Base Coupe kit. Build plan has been underway and already have a good amount of parts but a quick list of build plan:

    Base Kit
    IRS
    Front FFR LCA
    TKX (unsure of gear)
    Coyote (TBD on pullout or crate) I'm leaning towards a GEN 2 if I can find one reasonable.
    Forced induction (pref centrifugal but fit will be issue)
    Mustang cut out rear end (10k) with 3.55 differential (may swap to 3.31 gearing) brakes, spindles etc.
    Forgestar F14 19"
    Rear 15+ IRS single piston brake (13" rotor) and 2004 Cobra SVT Fronts (13" Rotor)

    First question to the forum is on IRON vs. Alum Diff. I see lots of posts on this but with the power I'm planning guessing an Iron housing is ideal.

    more to come but pumped to get going!
