Aha, that must have been why the train was late last Wednesday and I had to go back to the parking lot to take the car to make it in time for a meeting...

Started to work on the Phoenix Project again and switched the rear lower coil over brackets from side to side which means the car was raised around 1" and pretty much gave me the ride height I've been looking for. Even if the springs most likely will settle a bit I can adjust for that now and still have a margin. The "problem" I have now is to try to stay away from using the coil over shocks I had in the rear in the front... the front end is as of now set up to use original style springs and shocks, but it would of course be cool to have adjustable ride height in the front also.

Craftsmanship second to none!!!

Put all the wiring on the garage floor to try to get an overview of the situation. Then looked at the old wiring together with the 67 Mustang diagrams and made a new front and rear wiring harness with some add ons and relocation of connections. Not as hard as I initially thought, but I do have the more complicated engine management parts left to do that might be a little bit more challenging. Have no idea where I put the inertia fuel pump shut off switch ultrastang once donated to me, but as the local wrecking yard is next to where I work I'll make a visit there tomorrow. To hopefully save some time I've done research on where the inertia switch can be found (behind the passenger side kick panel) on the European Fords I know they have there.

perfect exhaust tip......
 

fabbing a new harness, looks like you have a plan . keep the update coming

I see an Explorer cam sensor in there, are you going to run the Explorer EDIS too?

Yes, that's the plan.
 

The latest:






The panel above with the EEC, fuses, relays, EDIS stuff, 12V outlet, USB 5V outlet, USB PC connection for the Quarterhorse and the remote access control box is supposed to go behind the instrument panel and you can see parts of it through the glove box opening, like this:


 Here's also the engine harness except for the cam sensor wires that I still have to include. As my headers are facing forward before they connects and goes in to the turbocharger the O2 sensor wiring could be included in the engine harness.

Is there anything this man can't do???? 

Thanks Glen, but as you know I can't cook or even use a washing machine, so I guess I just developed skills in certain areas.

Hakan....... What software would you recommend to draw out a colored wiring schematic?????

Microsoft Visio would be my first choice, but there's a lot of (even free) alternatives out there:

That car is looking gooooood! Excellent workmanship and design, Hakan! Is that upper and lower intake the one I sent you or did you go with something newer? I can't tell as when I saw it last, it sure didn't shine like that! Looks like the Phoenix Project is nearing completion. I watched your video on how you shortened the aluminum drive shaft. That is the same one I used in my 4R70W installation, and it was shortened about 2" also. Very nice work - how did you balance it, or have you done that yet?

Been watching a couple of YouTube videos about vapor or wet blasting. While trying to find something else I found an old pump I thought I didn't have any longer and happy about that I obviously had to try out if it would work for this application. Actually really simple as I just mixed water and blasting media in a bucket, glued a 90 degree outlet from the pump to agitate the water/media mix, used a blasting gun I already had and connected the whole contraption to 220 volt and the compressor. With glass bead media you're supposed to get a almost polished finish instead of the rather rough finish I got on the valve cover I made the test on. The next step now is to build this into the blasting cabinet I have.
