    Wow, I think I saved about 15 of those pics for my "awesome mini trucks" folder... The assembled frame with motor reminds me of a hardcore R/C chassis with those bright colours and white wheels. I love it! Very inspirational!

    thanks guys. to answer a few questions here goes.........

    the engine mounts are stock replacement 79-83 Fox body, the frame mounts are made from 3"x1/2" flat bar welder to the factory engine mount location.

    The oil pan is a 60's- late 70's front sump so it clears everything with no mod's needed

    The drive shaft is a 1 piece 2.5" diameter thick wall tube with Mustang U-joints and flanges

    yeah the name was of course a play on words as the whole drive line is Ford and the body being a Mitsubishi we started calling it either the POS or the Fordubishi as a joke and the name stuck.

    if you have any other questions I'll answer what I can
