Just checked out the MGBGT build photos. That is one sweet ride. Congratulations. Good luck with the T series.

This weekend I managed to build a support along the right side of the engine to hold the catch can and heater control valve. They used to be bolted to the fiberglass side panel. The side panel will now have to be easily removable for quick access to engine bay. Also, it will be drivable without any front body panels installed.

Differential is now…[Read more]

OK, I put an off the shelf pipe elbow on the header collector only to find it hung four inches below the frame rail. I had a local shop bend a piece of pipe as tight as he could and had it “belled” so it would fit the header and eliminate the collector, making it as short as possible. It still is below the frame rail, but we’re kinda stuck with…[Read more]

Perhaps I failed to be clear. The VA Beach show will probably happen as I informed George that if it goes to Sunday, they will lose all of us. Being long term attendees that might persuade them to keep it Saturday. I know, wrong thread.

Jack, the wheel looks great.

Not a lot done this weekend as there was things to do around the house.

I did get the fan brackets removed and got the oil cooler installed. Got the plug wires on.(I hope number one is where I think it is)

Then I cleaned up the shithole my garage has become. Folded up the cherry picker and threw out a bunch of now empty boxes.

Started a…[Read more]

Jack, my hood hinges are not drilled and bolted, yet. Brilliant idea. I will be doing that.

🤔🙄😁🤣

No, the rear was a bolt in. The MustangII was just a rebodied Pinto. I use three different sets of wheels. My Cragar Truspokes, 14”, push the tires right to the edge of the fenders. The 14” Fairmont wheels require a 1” spacer to clear suspension components and then fit nicely underneath. The 15” Mustang police wheels with the race tires fit rea…[Read more]

Very nice. I like the new arrangement.

Yes, Jack. Remove the three at the grille and the three at the rear all the bolts under the fender and lift. I was doing it so often and some of those nuts were a bear to get to that I went with the rivet nuts. With a small impact all those bottom bolts are removed quite quickly.

Yes, the side panels can be removed leaving the fenders in place. Rivetnuts make that real easy. As far as spark plugs, my only concern is #8, the back one on the drivers side.  Probably have to get him from underneath.

The rear is a Ford 8” from a MustangII. Once I hot rodded the Pinto motor I kept blowing those little rears apart. I already ha…[Read more]

Looking beautiful, Jack. I really like what you’ve done with the dash.

Ed, I’m still working on input.
