This weekend I restored the wiper motor and linkage Very happy how the wiper motor turned out. Also blasted and painted up some other small parts.

Took the 9 inch up to my buddy's house for tear down. He is a retired Ford line tech and can do these in his sleep. Over all it looks pretty good and parts are on order. 

Check out his latest build. 61 F100 unibody powered by a 2012 coyote.  This truck is 99.9 rust free. Very cool!

Always liked the unibodies. That Coyote does fill up the engine bay. The 292 "Y" blocks always looked kind of small in there. I partially filled up the '64 F100 I had with a 390 FE.

It's good to get some help, if for nothing else other than to help moving some things around. You'll take the next one on by yourself. 9-inch rebuilds are relatively easy, compared to some others.

It's always nice to check one more item off the to-do list.

I Called my buddy to ask what I should look for when tearing it down and all I got out of him was bring it up to the house It will give me something to do. Oh to be retired!

Got the diff done this weekend. Noisy 3.50s out new 3.70s in. New bearings clutch pack and Daytona carrier. 

Big thanks to my friend Jim for his help. He did all the set up I just watched.

One more job ticked off the list. One step closer to driving your cae again

More progress, Painted the brake drums that came with the new big brake kit. Also finished up the cowl today. On the hood supports the rubber was long gone so I thought lets give flex seal l a try.

NICE job Mike! Flex seal is awesome!! I used a quart of it on my camper seams, no leaks since!!

This is the fun part. Something about rebuilding a rear axle that gives you alot of satisfaction. Those 3.7 gears should lay down some rubber nicely.

I picked up the flex seal to seal up a leak on the chicken coupe and when I see how it dries I knew then what I going to it on.

It never ceases to amaze me how Americans have access to so many more quality products compared to here in the UK. Its frustrating

Could not wait any longer!  Tonight my wife and I installed the diff into the housing. I'm real happy the way it looks.
