Touchdown!-
We have touch down! Here are the last few items that were done before she left the frame jig.
“The loud Pedal” was installed. It was adjusted before we welded in the under dash tube to the side and “A” pillar tubes.
This is the inside seat mount.
I’ve tried my hand at some tig welding. I learned REAL QUICK you can’t lay beads like this one without alot of experience! This beautiful bead belongs to Mr. Jonathan Savoy.
Well…Here she is….in all her glory! I was SOoo Excited to see it on the ground. Pete didn’t have to say anything, he had the look on his face like a proud father. The Ranchero is about as low as it can be. We saw right away the front end needs to come down 1/2 to an inch lower. It Looks fast just sitting still! Even WITHOUT AN ENGINE! hehe.
We still have a long way to go, but this is a huge milestone! The work and effort that has been put into the Fordmuscle Ranchero to get to this point has been a long and hard road. But, look at the big rewards. Owner and operator of Nosnhoj Performance Pete Johnson, is truly one of the most brilliant fabricators I ever had the pleasure to know, let alone call a good friend. His “Pinks All Out” famed 2005 Mustang GT before the accident, was Awarded Best Engineered car of 2008! Needless to say, but, I’m proud to have a Nosnohoj Performance Chassis!
Our buddy Cody said “Hell, you only gotta pull the front wheels 2 feet to drag the back bumper!”. I would have to agree!
