[ATTACH] AC hoses, condenser, drier all in. Charged up and ready to go.
I thought about trying that. Never dyed anything so big. But I'm also concerned that the fabric is aged and feels a little stiff, as in brittle?...
Bike week, not getting much done this week on the car. Anxious though, so won't be long.
Use a torch if you have access to one, but don't glow the yoke red, just warm it until the plastic starts to ribbon out of the hole on its own. A...
Condensor is going in. Man it's a tight fit with only about an inch between the radiator side and the grill she'll for the line fittings. I'll...
$5,000 for a car buried in the dirt for 40+ years that is basically 8% usable. Pass.
Yeah loudbang, I saw some cars with it up top and it makes sense, I want to keep the dash clean as I can, functional, but clutter free....
[ATTACH] Carpeting is just about done. Need to have an edge bead sewn onto the tunnel cover and floor mats I made. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Started the headliner bow, header panel and stereo box installation.
Not much this week. But I did get some goodies for next chance I get with Vicky... [ATTACH]
Some of the pics are sad, but they also give hope to those looking for their next big find at the same time! As long as the owners are reasonable.
I almost went charcoal, but I figure if I drive it with my work boots on that might show marks. So I'll likely do the door panels and headliner in...

I'm not positIve if he was correct, but the seller tells me early Mustang. But to me the slide handles don't look like early Ford Mustang? Maybe...
Taking measurements for the seats and I realized the inside front mounting bolts will want to come down right thru a vertical crossmember section....
I installed the cross over pipe. It made it sound deeper, but the same glass pack sound is still there. It's growing on me though. This week I...
[MEDIA] Short vid of the exhaust note. Needs work. I also noticed the tail pipes aren't straight. Must have tweaked during welding, so that will...
Welds aren't pretty, but had a couple spots that burned thru keeping the welder pretty hot. The collectors that came with the headers are like...
[ATTACH] Exhaust going in. [ATTACH] Exhaust completed. Might add a crossover pipe, since it sounds like a boat with the stainless glass packs....
Much badassery to behold in this thread! Can't wait to see the next phase!
New pics without the wiring hanging out all over. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Exactly! Wanted to do something to keep it from being all solid black, but have it subtle. Had a vision, lol.
[ATTACH] Painted the park light brackets silver now. [ATTACH] With wiring finalized other than a couple harness touch ups for appearance, Dash...
[ATTACH] Got my AC Condensor from Southern Rods.
This weekend I will sort out the throttle cable issue and fit the seats.
Big deuce went where I was headed. Nice, even a pic of the tools.
Almost looks like the bolt holes are drilled offset for god knows what reason? Do the flanges line up with the head flanges even though the bolt...
