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]

Righteously done.

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.

No shame in your game, Jack. Coming along really nicely.

PS, it must be “dashboard week.” Here’s me, two days ago:

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

Ed, I’m still working on input.

Spyder work continues.

Hot-rodding: it’s a game of inches.

I love that you have exactly zero room to spare.

How do the exhausts fit now, btw?

Another rainy day to spend in the garage.

I got the cooling fan mounted.

Trimmed the wings…got it as narrow as possible…

Trial body fit…Had to whittle a bunch out of the grille shell…

Looks like it belongs in there

It’s a bit wide at the front…

Going to take it apart again and remove the upper fan mounts. We’ll try zip…[Read more]
