Customs The Ryno Built *66* shoebox

yea just wish we'd have given him more time...............

One question and this is not meant to criticize your choice just wondering why you went with the Edelbrock carb over other brands

 

I kinda left all that to ryno as he's a lot closer to it than I am...............im guessing it's what he's familiar with.



K

 

ok.........the fan arrived and ryno built a shroud, bead rolled a lip on each side .............painted to match and installed.............










interior is back in with new carpets.........it's all a bit multi coloured at the moment... it will do for now.........

thanks for all the good words fellas
thanks keith for keeping this thread updated, ive been too busy to even check the hamb lately.
got the car running and drove it too the alignment shop today!

 

Appears to be quite a thorough and proper job. Thanks for sharing all the details.
Ford power is cool. Those motors sound killer. I dig the mint green color.

the observant amongst you would have noticed that the P/S pump and its filler came close to where the battery should be, so it now resides in the trunk.....................

ryno got the old battery warrantied ...nice new one fitted..




A little more work on the A/C and heat.........

Keith glad to hear all is well and hope you have a splendid time, the car looks great. When the adventure is finished you could ship it down here to me!

 

hahaha......cheers oggie.......

maybe you could drive it next time your up this way.......

one more sleep and were on the bird outa here........

Keith are you guys going through the great state of Oklahoma? Where are you going to park it when your done? I love those cars!

 

Oggie, yes, we fly into Chicago this Saturday pick up the hire car and drive Rte 66 to Joplin, hook up with Ryno on Tuesday, dump the hire car and start driving 'Lucille'....spending some time there + the HAMB drags then onward on Rte 66 to CA, planning to go to Ventura Labor day weekend for the Ventura Nats......then back to LA and leave the car at the shippers, I have a buddy in CA who will sort the shipping UNLESS my 6 numbers come up in which case it will be staying .........otherwise it should be home for Christmas.

counting the hours..................

Sounds great Keith, when you get to LA let me know and I'll send you the address in Longbeach where to drop it off and the shipping address in Melbourne. Be sure to drop in at "pops" on 66 just before OKC and get a cool bottle of burch beer, mow to much and randaddy took us there last year, and just a block up from Buddy Guys blues club on Wabash st you can get the hair cut of your life!

 

If you come through southwest Utah please give me a shout. At the very least drive by my house so my '50 can see what it's supposed to be doing instead of fighting with me non-stop!

If you make it by we'll BBQ or something!

 

Cool thanks man

 

So who says air miles doesn't pay.....!!!!

Got an upgrade to Upper class........ Hell yea......

Long 1st day on the road, body clock meant we were awake by 3am. ..!...
Hit the road around 6.30 made good progress down the mother road for several hours, then lost our way, back tracked..got lost again and finally gave in to the freeway....!

Met up with a bunch of folk on bikes from Italy and Spain at the chain of rocks bridge, lots of bikes on the road...

Finally ended the day in Cuba,.....we're going to back track a bit and go to Meramac caverns as it was to late to visit last nite
