It was just a truck driver with a blind spot. I"m not even upset really. She needed paint anyway. Only looked good from about 20 paces. Any closer and you would see all kinds of bubbles, runs and "elephant skin" looking spots. At least now I can pick my own color yellow, so I can do touch-ups in...

You didn't miss it. I still haven't finished the interior, but I'll be posting pictures as I do. It will probably look stock, but with a few screw heads, and I'll keep a screwdriver in the glove box in case I need to access the fuse panel. She's looking like gone in 60 seconds now. Anyone have...

All I had to do was put on the correct oil pan and sump, but for mine I also had to drill the timing cover for an oil dipstick. The 5.0 from the fox body had the oil dip in the pan. Not sure about your carbed 302. So Fox news wants to do a story, call, call, email, and next thing you know it's...

Time to install these roller rockers. I don't forsee a huge difference, but less friction means more efficient, better milage and a slight performance boost. I can't imagine a reason not to install them. Some say you can get an extra 10 or 15 hp.

Marshall Avenue. Right down the street from sun studios, in front of my warehouse.

The rear gear is perfect. Great on the highway, and I can tell a big difference in town.

I'm back in Memphis and ready to drive! My first day back I spied this emerald beauty in Midtown. She keeps it clean!

I took another car. I already put the oil in, and smashed my fingers a little putting this third member in. I am a little bummed out, but now I can take my time and doing a few finishing touches when I get back. Minor details like a passenger seat and stuff.

I didn't make it. I got greedy and thought I could swap out the rearend before I left, and it turns out I need a special rear U joint to make this drive shaft work with the new yolk. I didn't even think of that until I tried to bolt up the driveshaft. A 20 dollar part. I'll finish the car up...

Ok, minor freakout. I was draining the old rear end oil when I noticed the case looked different than my new one. A few googles later, I am relieved to find out there are more than one kind of 9 inch case. I now have the "N" case. The "N" stands for nodular, a word that I now like to say. For...

I used a few drops of mineral oil on every o-ring, and was careful with my connections. I'll work on it when I get back from my road trip. I need to sweat off a few pounds anyway.

Thanks! I will do exactly that. I'm hoping it's somplace I can get to without yanking the dashboard back out.

Has anyone ever actually had one of these aftermarket a/c kits that worked? Every connection is new and tight, and it won't even hold vacuum for 2 min. I don't have any idea how to find a leak on a system that's never been charged up. Ugh. Oh well, so it will be a hot ride to South Carolina. I'm...

Thanks! It was nice seeing you two again. I only wish now I was driving my Van to SC, so I could stop by Bristol on the way back to tow your Mustang home for you. Going to crash now. Tomorrow is more interior, and an attempt at air conditioning. Glad I finally made it to Cruise night! Oh, and...

I have a seat. One seat. I'm hitting the road!

Picked this tip up on some hot rod tv show. I drilled two small holes in the hood hinges and body before removal to "index" the exact location when I put them back on. I hate cutting the radio bezel, but I hate having no radio worse. New wiring in the column, so now I won't drive around with...

Made some progress this morning. Connected the heater valve, ran the heater hoses, finished the wiring for the electric fan, wire up the ac compressor and pressure switch. Now a break, then warm it up and set the timing. 14 degrees, and I'll run the good gas.

Got sidetracked, but I'm back on it now. Tossed in a new distributor, coil, and module. Just finished connecting the lines to the new ac compressor.

One guage at a time. I've been working on my AC all morning. I'm ready to beat this heat here in Memphis also!

Sometimes it's just better to call in a pro. Like installing the glass. What a nightmare! But it's done. I'm glad I tinted the back glass while I had it out.
