This is definitely a car that needs to be a magazine feature or end up on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage when its complete because from what I have seen here it is that good. Nice job.

Laying pipe this weekend, intercooler water pipe that is. I took the advice given and I'm upsizing using 1 1/4" copper. I see a few Home Depot trips in my future.

Wow, you work fast. Nice job!!!!
That copper will work nice. It will actually shed a ton of heat itself, which you can always use.
Is it going to clear? Going under the K Memeber seems low to me. That said my cars are loooowwwwwwww.

I guess it will clear some things at least lol. The car will be stock ride height with 19" wheels. Basically now I'll be 1.25" lower than stock which should be ok I think. I don't love it but I can't figure out how to run the lines on the underside of the car. Once I get finished I was thinking of making a sheet metal shield to cover the pipes to protect them.

I went through the cabin on my 2007 but it's a race car and the hose is the pretty braided fabric so it doesn't look strange or anything.

I agree, it's a touch nut to crack. I've run the 1.25" lines under the car but with "hose" so they were flexible. It's still quite a job but I have managed to get the above the frame rails.

I'm using a 2014 gt500 fuel pump which has 2 pumps in one housing. Each pump needs a driver module, I pulled out the original mustang fuel pump driver and replaced it with 2 f150 driver modules. I had one plug already but needed to buy a new pigtail for the second driver. I'll wire the 2 plugs in to the harness to split the signal, at least that's what I remember Lexxion telling me to do

My GT/CS wheels wouldn't clear my brembo calipers. I found some 5/8" hub centric spacers made by Akata. You have to cut the original studs shorter and your wheels need to have pockets on the backside, which mine did. The cut off studs and nuts fit in the pockets.

I put them on the rear too, I wanted it to be the same front and back. It makes the tire flush with the quarter panel. This gives me more room to widen the wheel.
This is with the spacer
