Thank, y'all for the kind words.......

Hi,me once again.First 2 header tubes done.I'm doing the drivers side first,because that's the nightmare side.Tubes 5 and 6........not much room for 2 inch pipe with moving the engine back 2 1/2 inches and down 1 inch,but we'll get there.The headers are going to be equal length at 40 1/2.....ish...

Hi and thanks. I didn't do the dropped control arm on my car. When Ford redesigned the car for the 71 model, they moved the upper control arm down when they redesigned the engine compartment. It was to fit the Boss 429 in on the assembly line and to correct and improve the cars steering issues...

Hello once again. I'm making headway on the headers. I'm building the drivers side first.I had to really shorten the flanges to get all of what you see to work,then make the pipe flanges round again as I was starting to get into where the pipe turns to square for the port,so that was fun. These...

Thank you.

Hi all,I'm back to gluing stainless together,this time it's header flanges. the flanges are 3/8 and the pipe is 16 gauge. After i fit the pipes to the openings I ground a small chamfer around the side that was to be welded. i slipped the pipe in even with the gasket side,the side to be welded...

Morning. First off,thank you for the compliment. Now about your console question. I'm not using one. The car will have no interior except for the dash,1 seat and possibly door panels. Everything I'm doing is for the sake of handling and speed. Now,if I was building a...

Thank you

Hello everyone. Last part of unscrewing up stuff that was caused by me moving the engine. I have the clutch linkage sorted now. I'm staying with mechanical because,I like it,no matter how big a pressure plate I use,I just like mechanical linkage. So........first,I lowered the ball pivot on the...

Thank you.Your car is really slick as well. I had no intentions of doing a set back engine at the beginning of this odyssey,but here we are. It should be really fun stuffing big pipes into now,what is an even smaller area.....

Thank you for the compliments. I changed directions with the engine last winter while working on my AMX. I decided to go Trans Am racing and install a Boss 302, that's the mock up engine in the car now. I have seen pics of these cars with B9s in them and they do look right at home.

Thank you. I just keep plugging away at it, I'll get there

Thank you.

You can also stitch weld every seem on the car were panels meet, like how they did on the TA cars. It will definitely make the car a lot stiffer.....and it doesn't really cost anything but time and materials.

Hello once again,making more progress. I cut out the area around the shifter hole and moved it back 2 1/2 inches. I reshaped the sides of the tunnel and made a filler for the front of the panel and a small filler for the passenger side. I then set my sights on the shifter. I built the shifter...

Thanks for the compliments. I'm currently working on making my Hurst shifter work better and fixing a design flaw it has.

Evening all.We're just moving right along with complicating life by moving the engine. Here we have my newly built transmission crossmember,patterned after the one from the Warren Tope Mustang. The fella that owns it ,was nice enough to send me some pictures of it.I used the ears off of the...

Hi everyone. So apparently when you move the engine back you need motor mounts,so I built some. Last week I took a new set of small block mounts,cut the rubber section in half,set all 4 pieces on fire,watched it burn,then scraped off what was left of the rubber. Then I cleaned the metal and set...

Well this is happening.I installed a Lakewood bell,it moved the transmission rear by 3/16'' ,which changed my u-joint angles,which were already pushed to their limit because of how low the car is.So I figured I would lower the engine,Bud Moore style using factory mounts with the rubber...

Well,it's time to make the donuts as they say.You can only practice weld so much,welding on the racy go fast parts is just different.So here we go.......These are the collector pipes with the 2 inch slip fit connectors welded on. I first put together the slip connectors and made tiny filler...
