i hated cutting out the mild steel 8 point.... but the molly 10 point will be better...

[jeremy mifflin]

this is open for your thought....i dont want to rebuild it in another year...anyone have any idea on something i should do share :cheers:

[Saleen91]

Interesting way to mini tub. You know Wolfe offers the mini tub kits that allow you to completely remove the stock wheel well?

I hear you about cutting your roll bar out. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I should add onto my mild steel cage, or cut it out and put in a moly one at some point.

BTW, the new wheels look awesome!

[jeremy mifflin]

i know wolfe and team z as well as others have minitub kits... but i can fit just as big of tire under the car this way...saves money and once its all seam sealed in and painted it will look stock,,well more stock than the other tubs

[jeremy mifflin]

dont know if i should just go for the 25.5 cert

[Saleen91]

If you have all of the bars in place go for it! I wish mine was 25.5!

[Fryguy]

Definitely do 25.5 while you're doing it, or at least build it in such a way that you can finish 25.5 later.

At these power levels with these tires and wheelbase, there's no such thing as being too safe. Don't forget that the times we run today with these small tire stock suspension cars was unheard of not too long ago.

[jeremy mifflin]

this is what the front down bars will weld in to and the main hoop

[HoustonLX]

That thing is going to be nasty when finished. GL!

[Otis!]

Nice looking work Jeremy! Please keep us updated with pics...

O!

[Silversnake91]

The car looks like it's coming along real well. I like the way they did the down bars and X-brace. Nice job they are doing there. Good luck with the build.

Mike

[jeremy mifflin]

we have more bars comming off the rear hoop that tie in to the chute mount...

i think we went over kill for a 8.5 cert :jaw:

i have been a fan of overkill since day one on this car....and a door x and funny car cage can be added for the 25.5 cert.....but right now its staying a street car :naughty:

[Timebomb]

Damn, that's about all I can say....

[gt350mustang]

looks great, you guys work pretty fast.

[jeremy mifflin]

it will be done 100% in 3 weeks... as long as the parts come in on time
had a 14.5 gal fuel cell made
2 -12 fuel lines
a -10 return
and a -6 vent

[Saleen91]

man I wish my cage looked like that!

[Silversnake91]

Looks great and good thinking on only having a couple of easy to get to bars to complete the 25.5 cert. I can't wait to see it finished and when it is you should make a trip down here so we can all see it up close.

Mike

[jeremy mifflin]

i cant wait to see it up and running :woot: some time befor this year is over(i hope)
and do want to make a trip down ,,,any good fun ford weekends or anything come around
every since i found this web site i wanted to be the bad mo fo of the month :wavey:
looks like if i can make it it would be more like of the year since we have not had a new one since jan :nono:

[gt350mustang]

Actually, if you check the date we are working on bad mofo of the decade.

[Silversnake91]

There is a FFW in Ennis Sept 7-9 and then after that it is next May most likely. We do have another series down here that several of us run called The Clash of the Titans. they have a Race at HRP in november.

Mike

[REX331]

Who is doing the work? That cage looks like some of the stuff from Pakman Motorsports.

Rex

[scottmrit]

[jeremy mifflin]

Rex
jim hallowell
is doing it we are in the same town
since i do cages and stuff it was hard for me to buck up and let someone else work on the car
but since i cant do molly and we worked the price out so everyone is happy i now will have his sticker on the car
i will post more pics as the car gets done with the new wing,, chute,,
and the little 427 with the F1R(every street car needs one)

this is a 10 point i started on friday......its mild steel

[Otis!]

I guess I didn't know you did cage work Jeremy; nice! I like seeing pictures of work like that; pure art, IMHO...

O!

[jeremy mifflin]

jack of all trades master of none...haha
i try...i have done about 12 ,10 points this year and a few 8 points.... so many sets of subframes that i lost count.....and even started smothing an engine bay

not to bad since i work on rail cars(train cars..not drag) 50 hours a week i just work on cars for fun(and money to build my car)
wont be long i will have to add more floor space to the garage and get a tig to start doing molly cages

[Otis!]

I hear you! I've been a piddler for years, and there's nothing I won't try thrice, LOL!

I bought a TIG a couple of years ago, but only have about four hours of seat time on it...

What do you use to bend your tubes? Any tricks or tips for getting the layout right? I have a JD^2 model 3, and it seems to work pretty good (once mounted properly, LOL!). I need to get one of those tube joint template tools from Scummit at some point...

Out of curiousity, what do you do on the rail cars? I've always had a fascination there...

Take care!

O!

[jeremy mifflin]

i have a pro tools bender i will have to look for the model number,,,,,its mec...but not to bad to use...

we fix what ever is not up to aar code.....jack them up change out gears
fix gates just about everything............
hell i even used to sandblast and paint them.......i got the job a little over 5 years ago
i started cutting up the old locos.............but i have a nice brass bell now

[jeremy mifflin]

http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/1152/3372/184273.jpg i got a little more done to the car i am working on ...need to get it done to buy more stuff for my car :naughty:

[rxracer]

that looks fantabulous!

[Otis!]

Looks good Jeremy! Would you mind taking a picture of the front bars/dash bar, and how it goes through the speaker area?

Thanks!

Chris, er, O!

[jeremy mifflin]

[gt350mustang]

Jeremy, what is the requirement for welding the tube completely around? Such are near the roof? Also, if you sand on the excess weld does it negate legality? Your work looks great btw!

[jeremy mifflin]

you can not grind any weld.....
i weld mine 100%
all you do is cut a round hole for the main hoop and the front down bars to fit through
have the car on jack stands and drop the cage through to weld the tops of everything ...paint the top...pull it back up in the car slide the 6x6 floor plates in place and weld them ......i stich weld the hole from the bottom to the plate then seam seal it

hope that helps you

[Saleen91]

That looks awesome Jeremy!!

[jeremy mifflin]

thanks... i start a 6 point in a vert ......sat

[jeremy mifflin]

well my car is together ....
now i have to pull it all back apart to paint it all and wire everything :racing:

car is going fri to get a set of stainless headers built for it

[jeremy mifflin]

belt drive fuel pump is mouned off the crank support...

[Otis!]

I think I harassed you on TurboForums, but still, it deserves another "that looks -great-" comment...

O!

[Timebomb]

I like it also, are you planning on running gasoline or alcohol?

[HoustonLX]

Very nice Jeremy. Will be a looker as much as a runner.

[Saleen91]

I'm guessing alky since he has that C&S aerosol carb.

[jeremy mifflin]

thanks guys....
it will be on gas...
i have a few drums of C16...since i think its a street car i will go through the fuel
after i get it back from getting the headers i will mount the watter pump .alt.
coil ...
then i will pull it back apart to repaint under the hood ...oh and paint the new hood,,,
then i am going to powder coat some more stuff and start putting it back together again

[jeremy mifflin]

still trying for that bad mofo of the year!!!!!

[HoustonLX]

still trying for that bad mofo of the year!!!!!

ROFL!

[Otis!]

If you get it done before the end of the year, you have a limited time; wait to finish it until January, then we'll vote you in!

[jeremy mifflin]

well /// i wont get it done in time for that...i have 3 kids and they want stuff for x-mas....not car parts

[jeremy mifflin]

had the cell powder coated...
race car or show car....i guess if it wont put up a number i will just tell everyone its a show car http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/3952/10538/208147.jpg

[Silversnake91]

Looks awsome. I think attention to detail and having things coated when you can makes working on the car and keeping things clean that much easier. plus. it just looks cool . I don't think you will have a problem with putting up a good number with that monster you have under the hood.

Mike

[jeremy mifflin]

best part when i want to go to a cruz ...i can wipe it all down and go ... :naughty:
