Nope. Not this guy. Work has restricted me to 50kms from home due to the virus.

But, I am about to head out to put more break-in miles on mine. Tracks have to open eventually, right?

did they give you a camouflage ankle bracelet?..... :popcorn:

Nope, but the thought of jeopardizing the paycheque, pension, and benefits package does influence my decision making process.

Finished the Jmod on the CVPI's 4R75E transmission. If you have a Ford with either a 4R70 or 4R75 transmission, you will want to Jmod it.

Same here. BTW you misspelled "paycheck". :p

And shameless plug.

Decided my rear quarters were looking kind of boring so I spruced them up.

there's sarcasm like this all over the car. Next I went ahead and made that master cylinder brace. First I had to cut my bucket of scrap to find what I needed at the bottom.

The bucket has had it. I demoted some of the bigger stuff to my new to me scrap dumpster, i.e. the stuff I'm getting rid of. Should make for a nice backup source for raw material too. The mount came out pretty good, got it drilled and cut in accordance with the old eyecrometer.

I put these .093" thick washers in to raise the brace up closer to match that .098" thick piece the front of the brace was going to rest on.

The aforementioned eyecrometer didn't catch the offset of the strut bolts so I ended up punching 3 holes. Whoops.

The angle of the bolt is pretty much parallel prior to adding preload. Once preload is added, it pushes the front of the master upward so I didn't go crazy with the preload. Makes it pretty clear how much deflection there is not only in the firewall, but also the booster. Time to load it for the Dyno, I have a 0900 tomorrow.
