Engine is back together! [IMG] [IMG]
Good observations and points made. I don’t want to disparage whoever built the car. There’s some really good things about the car like you said....
Pulled the engine and trans tonight. Went well with the gantry. Plenty to do! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Removed the “console” or whatever the previous owner made... [IMG] Much better. I’m not sure, but I’m thinking I’ll have some sheeetal work to...
Put the car in the air for the first time on the lift this morning. Took a good look around. Lots looks good, plenty of things to address, clean...
I bought this Cold Case radiator setup from Summit. Too many bad reviews on the Champions.. [IMG] [IMG] Little metal work left on the fuel tank...
Made some progress on the trunk floor today. The fuel tank mounting flange is welded in. I did 5/16 holes on 3” ish centers. It went well save for...
Cut the trunk floor for the Mustang tank. First time using my import (Razorweld Vipercut 30) plasma cutter. Worked a treat. [IMG] Exhaust...
Clutch parts arrived today. Got the Centerforce pressure plate on Amazon for less than half of what everyone else was charging. Disc is 1" 14...
It involved about 500 miles of windshield time, and I came home with a 84 V6 Camaro T5 and bellhousing. I have the Walton Fab pedals with...
It’s 1.5 x 1.5 x 1/8 angle. I plan to cut a hole in the trunk floor, punch holes in the floor around the perimeter and plug weld from below. Then...
Got the fuel tank mounting ring made tonight. [IMG] [IMG] It was a great opportunity to use my welding table. [IMG] I’m still trying to...
Simple mdf template to help layout the Mustang tank location. Had to replace my sewer line at the shop, so ‘54 patiently waits. [IMG]
I did check with them. Hoping to find a solution.. I may have to make my own adapter.
As the subject says, I'm trying to figure out if Advance Adapters 712548 bellhousing will mount a '96 Camaro WC T5 (1352-247) to a '66 327. I want...
A guy in town started a monthly cars and coffee event. Today was the second one. Met some of the local hot rod guys I’ve been waiting for a chance...
Walton Fabrication makes several really nice items. I have their brake/clutch pedal setup going in my car. (I have an unused auto power brake...
Where does the lower end of the spring attach??
This deburring tool made the difference for me. I get consistent good flares after adding this to the prep. I use the Mastercool hydraulic flare tool.
I have been thinking I'll go with the TKO 500 behind a 300hp 350 with 3.08 gears and 15" Coker whitewalls. Thought being I can change rear ratio...
Drove the car more over the weekend, until the freeze plug behind the driver side motor mount started leaking :/ Picked up a gasket kit and brass...
Thanks for the photos! What's the length? Are you happy with it?
I looked hard at the Limeworks column shifter, but haven't been able to get first hand experience feedback about it. I like the looks of it, but...
Do you have any photos you could share? Did you go with mid or rear mount?
Going to run the T-bird seats. Undecided on console. Realistically, it will get a console no matter how much I'd love to not.
No to GJ..
I have a '54 Chevy 210 kustom that I'm getting sorted out. Currently has a TH400 with a chunk of round bar attached to the detent as a "shifter"....
I'm itching to tear into this thing and get it together. It's "drivable" in town but not ready for prime time. In the mean time, I washed it off...
Anyone?
Had to take the '54 home and put it in the garage. I have a day job as well as a custom upholstery shop. Looks like I *might* have an opening in...
