I don't know, the ad has gotten allot of interest, I'm going to lose a TON of dollars, but I was not building it (or should I say, paying to have...
I also bought one of these California Car covers for a Falcon coupe, it fits the car pretty well, even with the moon tank and the tunnel ram.[ATTACH]
I decided to try just a temporary solution for the routing of the exhaust from the fenderwell headers to the street mufflers, I had never used the...
[ATTACH] Well, I know some of you are going to see the ad sooner or later.... But I am thinking about selling the Gasser. I am having some issues...
We fixed the shocks awhile back they seem to be fine now, the ride is a bit harsh, but I kind of expected that. I agree with the two more months...
No that is with the cutouts open, it was allot quieter through the mufflers, but allot less fun. The electric cutouts worked great, from Summit...
[MEDIA] A video of the first test run of Angry Bird. The throttle started sticking so we had to give up early, found a few other things not quite...
We are going to finish getting the temporary street exhaust hooked up in the morning, we re-jetted the carbs per Edelbrock's advice and we will...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Well, as my luck has been running, the ceramic coating guy is two weeks out, so we will just repaint the headers for...
We got the street exhaust hook-ups built into the headers today and after we make sure we did not warp the heck out of the collectors with all of...
Trying to get insurance, Grundy had the best deal, but there is allot of paperwork you have to put together and getting all of the receipts...
We got the brakes allot better, but I think we may still end up going ahead and "bench bleeding " the MC, but for right now, they are acceptable.
We are going to work on the brakes on Sunday, might just have to bite the bullet and pull the MC off, I'll post once we figure it out.
Thanks, I'm really wanting a nice "Gasser" that is both streetable and fun to drive, but can be fun to run at the 1/8 mile once in awhile too. I...
We never took the master cylinder off of the firewall, but it did sit with out any lines on it for about three months, I don't know if that is...
Thanks... The brakes are still not right, too soft for my taste. We are going to try bleeding them again, if that does not work, then since...
The brakes are working and we should be test driving the bird on Friday. I'll do my best to post a video or pictures ASAP!
We got the brakes almost working and the throttle should be hooked up by Wednesday night, if that happens, then it is off to the muffler shop to...
I have one manual and converted the other to electric choke, at this point neither is hooked up. I will wire in the electric one and most likely...

I am using 500cfm edelbrocks which may still be too large, but I will just have to wait and see once the car is up and driving. And that may be...
Have you bee ndriving it down by the Main Street Cruise in the last couple of months, I saw a early Nova down there and I wondered if it was yours?
We got the timing cover, oil pan and water pump all back on and decided we better let it all setup overnight before we try starting the car and...
Got all of the brake lines run, had the timing cover almost installed when my "Ford " expert cracked it because he decided we did not need to...
We got the carbs off and the timing cover off of the motor, it was nice to see that everything looks like the motor was as fresh as the guy I...
That is very cool pic
Thanks, I'm happy with the overall progress, but I got tired of having somebody else doing work I could do if I made the time. Now that my money...
No, your right, even the Ford racing "short" WP is still too long by 1/4" inch. I would have to grind the end nub off, and I'm not going to do...
Come to find out that my early block and timing cover will not work with the electric water pump, I'm going to have to go to a 1967 timing cover...
