I actually enjoyed wiring my Coupe.
I went with a Painless Performance “Classic Plus” customizable chassis harness. Part number 10202. Had all the wire and circuits I needed and then some. Very well laid out and great instructions. Installed the fuse panel up under the dash drivers side - on the side.

Got some mounting points taken care of today for the fpr and clutch master reservoir. Welded up the brake master cylinder area on the firewall. Also cut and rolled the tunnel area on the firewall so it’s where it needs to be. Slowly….

looks like its coming along really well. but your master cylinder and brake lines are really close to the fender apron. are your hood hinges going to clear?

wow clearances are tight. i setup my firewall to use dual master cylinders with my coyote but now i am thinking that my configuration might not work. i even recessed the mounting location to add space so i can use a pair of wilwoods 3 inch long master cylinders.

im going to have to test fit my engine to see if it will work

Looks like it will be close but you should be able to get it to fit. Only one way to find out.

going to try this weekend

 

[Anangryford]

my wife vetoed the blacking out of the interior so my dash is still some sort of cream color. Blacked out the back though.

Got the lower cowl panel from cj and the motor and wiper shafts fit with no modification. The panel itself will need some work and just a heads up for anyone else looking at this panel there is a bit of a trough where the drain is supposed to be that wasn’t on the Ford piece.

To prove that I don’t just tell you guys to do stupid things I also do them myself, I no longer have any wiring or switches on or behind my dash. I should probably figure out if I’m going to black out my interior so I don’t need to do it again with the car assembled. View attachment 848890

Something about hitting 60 I guess, I get exhausted just looking at the pictures. I fully realize the innumerable hours going into this project! Nice work!

Some welds

Evening Angry,
Dont do like me,, if you plan on installing your Coyote with headers on double check the width of you radiator support opening. Your upper section looks close to where mine was and my headers didn’t fit. Which resulted in having to lift the engine (during instal) near as high as if not cutting the support etc..

Firewall is looking great!

I'm innocent! I was at home putting my cluster together. You can't prove a thing!

Queens NY 65 Mustang Hardtop

I have the same MII from R&C with coil overs in my 66 project. I agree very easy to install, well made kit and great customer service. Hands down one of the best customer services I have ever come across. I read something about installing convertible inner rockers. I did so after I had...

Got through 5 of the 8 filler panels to fill in the tunnel gap today. Took 5 hrs so I’m hoping to be done with the last 3 tomorrow. Then on to the shock tower filler panels and making my cut to pieces core support bolt on.

Mid 90’s cobra I believe? May have been 2003. Can’t remember. 4 wheel disc and 15/16” bore.

I’m running out of energy. Been 111-114 degrees here with 30% humidity

The Cobra 15/16" Master Cylinder. Looks good that you have already compensated for the bowl angle! I'm using the 88 Ranger MS with I think the same bore. Anyway it works awesome!

It’s doesn’t have the machined area to capture the rod but my rod can’t fall out.
