You’ll be missed, Roy. Jack, are you in?

I’ve done a couple on line searches for hotels in VA Beach with private parking and the list is pretty slim. The Oceanfront comes up as reasonable compared to other pricing.

I have not booked accommodations. I have registered for the show. If you can find a deal on a Hotel, I’m in.

Step 1) Panhard Rod. This will keep the body centered over the rear axle.

Step 2) Get rid of the cut down leaf springs. Look under the rear axle spring perch and          you’ll probably find they are already broken.

Step 3) Replace the springs with adjustable trailing arms. You can build mounting plates and use the existing mounting points…[Read more]

Tonight I made a paper template of the hood which will go to the fabricator for louvre production.

The original Mustang radiator was a 2 core, which is what I am currently running. I’ve saved that link for the 3 core for future reference. Last Saturday morning when it was cool I drove mine to work apx 17 miles. By the time I got there the temp gauge was just climbing over 200*. Before I came home in the heat of the day I dumped (2) bottles of R…[Read more]

Painless! Thanks!

Except for taping off the limits for top and bottom, mine were done freehand. Just took out what looked right.
