Whole dash, gold trim plates, all of it.
I think I may have solved the mystery rear axle. It looks to be a 1966 Q-code Thunderbird rear axle. They came with a 3.00 open dif and that...
Figured I would post this as well. My 9 yr old getting his hands dirty. After helping me tear down the 9inch, he wanted to do more, so I drug the...
That's a side-by-side comparison between a real 66 K-code housing and the one I have. They look nearly identical. They even have the same "L" on...
That may be what I do, I've had my fair share of 8.8's, being a 4x4 guy and also had a couple of Mustang 5.0's. They're cheap and strong and lots...
Alright. I got the rear axle torn down. It's got a 54-xx inch wide housing (measuring from flange to flange), which seems to he the width for a...
Yeah. I didnt think it was some super duper rare axle by any means. There were probably tens-of-thousands of them produced. But I just dont have...
Btw. Here are some pics of the front frame being built. I did alot of this out in the open on my drive way because I don't have a shop at the...
Sorry for the 5 year break I've been on! I still have the car. Its just been on the back burner because I have a few other projects I've worked...
Anyone have any more info on this particular gasser? Bc I currently own it coincidentally [emoji23] its definitely staying a gasser. I just cut...
Welp. Sorry for no updates in so long guys. Its been a busy one the past 6-8 months. Life is a pain in the ass sometimes. My wife is in college...
Damn. Lol. Makes me want to start walking around the woods. Haha.
Thats not fabrication. Thats pure artwork. Amazing job.
I love white firewalls. I think it makes the engine stand out.
My guess would be they are leaned like that to keep the shot into the intake runner as straight as possible.
Made my night. Now i can sleep like a baby. Thanks man!
Any of the guys building Altereds got any progress pics? Gassers are my favorites, but Altereds have a warm spot near my heart too. Lol.
And, since South Carolina allows you to register your vehicle with a vintage license plate, as long as its the year of the vehicle-- I picked up a...
I also like the lines of the coupe a little better. But, I guess my opinion is a little biased, since I own a coupe. Lol. I like stickers...
I also got my rear tires. Now I can start cutting my rear quarters and get them fitted in the wheel wells. They almost fit in there as it is. I...
Here is my cheesy gas cap. I am going to soak it in some soda or vinegar to take the cheesy "bling" look away from it. Then polish it a little...
I have had almost no time to work on the car, my best friends wedding was this weekend. So I have been out of town. Just got home. I have to go...
^^^ hahaha. At least you got out alive.
Thanks for the pics!
Well...here is the pic of it tacked in...not sure why it double posted that other pic...hmmm. oh well.
Got most of the rotted bullshit cut out and the new piece tacked in. I still need to make a smaller piece to tie a little brace into the quarter...
I had a helper today :cool: I didnt have much time to work. But my wife came out and helped out.
Love the 406 idea. That thing will be nasty. Most people have no idea what a ford 406 even is anymore...lol. Do you know of anywhere to grab a...
Quain is worse than a drug dealer. Haha. Drugs are cheap compared to race car parts!...and probably less addictive too!
Here it is after a light cleanup with a wire wheel. I made a template from cardboard and im going to fab up a patch. Should be easy. Its just a...
