Thank you! It’s a custom Chip Foose paint color. I got it at a local paint supply shop. Orange amber pearl is the name. It’s like a candy color, very transparent, but that’s what gives it so much depth.
I want to start off by adding, I am in no way blazing any trails with this K-member mod. I am simply documenting my modifications and maybe helping someone else by doing so. That being said, I have my budget K-member nearly complete. This is what I did. I used a stock 4.6 Mustang K-member. I took measurements of the back tab and measuring on the inside of the rear tab I found the length was approximately 3” on my stock 1979 302 K-member and 3 1/2 inches on the 4.6 K-member. Knowing now that I need to take 1/2 inch out of the back tab. The easy thing to do is just slot the holes and cut 1/2 inch off the back, however, that’s not how I like to do things. I want it to look stock after my alterations. Before making any mods I took note that my stock K-member (black K-member) has slots that go side to side on the rear tab and the 4.6 rear tab is slotted front to back. I took measurements and decided to measure 1/2 inch forward (towards what would be the front of the car if installed) from each hole and made a line. From that line I measured back and made marks at 1 inch and 1 1/2 inches. Once all my measurements were made I used a die grinder to slot the holes forward approximately 3/8 inch. I then used a cutoff wheel and removed the center section. After tack welding the rear portion back on, I installed it to check fitment. Once I was happy with the fitment, I finished welding and slotting the holes as needed. All that’s left is to paint the K-member. I’ll add pictures of the final product after I finish touching up the weld in 1 spot and re grinding the area flat.
Thanks Bill! There’s nothing at all wrong with trimming the end off, I wanted it to appear stock. I’m thinking about opening a window up on both sides of the k-member as well to add more access to the engine. These k-members are so over built, not to mention the stock 5.0 k-members have a small window from the factory. Haven’t 100% decided on that yet....gotta see if I’ll really gain anything from opening it up first.
I’m using a harness from Ron Francis. Have to wait like 3 more weeks before I get it though. Are you up loading pics from your phone or via computer? I’ve noticed it works better via computer. Nice progress. I’m currently waiting on some things to finish my 4v into my 79 cobra.
Thank you! It’s been awhile since I’ve made this much progress. I was attempting to download rom my phone. Now that you mention it, I had to load pictures from my computer last time. Actually, I believe I have the harness figured out now. Took some time but I’ll label them and post pictures in case anyone else runs into my issue.
