LED lights in the acrylic look uber awesome... especially with that mirror behind it.

[FatNasty]

Love it all! Especially liking that lighted "ride engineered" plate. Keep up the good work mang!

[marquisman]

Looking very good man. Loving the lights and how clean ieverything is. Looks like alot of time put into it, but it is completly worth it. I'm likeing the progress on this thing man.

And I feel ya on this heat man. I think it's going to skip winter and be summer again... although this week has been kinda shitty from all the rain we're getting.

Pure Awesomeness

My room mate's 94 Bronco has this. I don't know if they will work tho because the Bronco has the 351W EFI.

Thanks for all the compliments and comments, mangs. More progress will be coming soon.

It's really a quality piece. I've had it for 5 years, in 2 different boxes, and it has never failed to perform flawlessly. Still very clean inside even after all this time. It has a high cfm electric fan cooling it now, so it should be doing even better.

Thanks mang. Didn't manage to get any pics of the install before the cameras batteries died on me. It's just 2 194 bulb sockets, hot-glued in place right beside the edges of the Acrylic, with small reflectors I made from thin aluminum glued on over the blue LED's, to reflect all their light into the piece. Pretty simple stuff, but with a cool effect.

Thanks mang. I'm glad summer is finally slowly starting to go the hell away now, thank god. It's actually starting to get comfortable outside here, perfect weather for working on the car. Too bad I have little to no time to work on it currently.

I'm not sure if it will work or not, I'd vote probably not. 86-93 5.0L fox body cars had a slightly different Dual Heater pipe piece that will work on our 5.0L cars, but doesn't look quite like it belongs with the reversed Intake that we have. The stock '86 Box Body 5.0L piece is the one to go for if you can find it.

Train Roll On.

And now needs train horns. :smirk:

And now needs train horns. :smirk:

Hehe, :evil: I've been considering getting them for quite sometime. Sure would come in handy to help to wake up some of the asleep at the wheel idiots that we have driving around here. I would only use it on them if they cut me off though.

I'm already gonna have a Air Compressor/Tank setup back in the trunk for the Air Ride system that I'm installing next year, I guess another one to power some Train Horns wouldn't clutter things up much more.

Awesome job with the dash! Makes me wish mine was clear lol

Two compressors and five gallons of 200psi is all I got. I may install a second tank if I choose to go the air suspension route just for the extra capacity, but it's not necessary.

How large of a tank are you putting in? Would definitely recommend two compressors if it's a larger tank, just to help alleviate some of the workload.

I've seen a few pics of your Train Horn setup, it's nicely done. What kind of CFM are those Horns pulling? I'd imagine it would be something major like around 15-20cfm @90-100psi.

I don't know the specs to the horns...the company that made 'em is now out of business and I can't pull up the information anymore. I do know that they'll drain my 5 gallon tank (200psi) in less than a minute...

I've got two Viair 380C pumps supplying the pressure, here's the specs to 'em... http://www.viaircorp.com/OnRoad/dual380c.html
