What did we do to the car today (yesterday)???? WE DROVE THAT SUCKER!!!!! Scared the bejesus out of large animals and small children (or vice-versa?) within a 10 mile radius. [video=youtube] (It was pretty awesome to take her out of the barn for some sunshine) :D:D:D:D:D

Good day. Got the brakes bled and have a good pedal, now. Pulled out the lightweight front springs I had put in to drop the nose back in the day and put the originals back in. Got the passenger seat platform out of the donor. The floor pan in the donor looks pretty good underneath, too, so we...

(Redundant post in 'What did you do' thread). Today was another productive day on the CJ. Got the brake lines flushed (nasty) and the drum mechanisms entirely rebuilt. Bled the rears out and will move to the discs up front next session. Discovered during one of our "Cmon, start it. Just wanna...

Today was another productive day on the CJ. Got the brake lines flushed (nasty) and the drum mechanisms entirely rebuilt. Bled the rears out and will move to the discs up front next session. Discovered during one of our "Cmon, start it. Just wanna hear it run." sessions that the alternator...

New video clips loaded to http://www.flickr.com/71jcode Only got to work on it this afternoon and evening. But a very productive session. First, Scott, my favorite paint and body guy came over to assess and draw up the plan of attack for getting a decent 20-foot paint job on her so that we...

I fired the 429 today after a dozen or so years of slumber. That was exciting! There's a vid clip in the flickr album. Lots of blowby. Well, not surprising.

It was my first car in 1973, purchased from original owner. I talk about it here: http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-the-odyssey-begins-resumes

So we've almost finished the tear down. The flickr pic album ( www.flickr.com/71jcode ) has some new shots and I'll be loading more this next week. Haven't really run into anything unexpected. The rust in the trunk floor is worse than I expected, but doesn't really change anything, one of the...

:D Thanks. That radio has some, ummm, unique functions built into it....

The resto project on my 71 J-Code began in earnest today with our trailering it from my home to our shop. I have owned this car since 1973, having bought it from the original owner (another high schooler) as my first car at the ripe young age of 16. For the next few years I had a lot of fun...

I'm hugely interested in the specifics of the conversion to an A/C version. Debating dissecting a donor car (I have one with a reasonably sound cowl) versus the fresh metal.
