What did you do to your car today?

[sm3570]

I looked at wheels and tires...again...

 

[thundertc64]

Had to finally put some tires on the back today

 

[Tnfastbk]

got my extra oil line ran, tip from jeff, battery box and battery, dash hung, carpet laid in, and as always more trim painting

Nice panel Roy! The carbon fiber look will be awesome with the darker silver paint!

Not much today except change the fuel filter for like the 12th time

I saw Robert's car in person and complimented him on it. Nice looking stang Robert!

I rolled the windows down on mine to let the water evaporate from the cowl leak due to the very heavy rain we had. I need a good car cover until I make a spot for it in the garage...that or a temporary tarp. My neighbors would kill me for putting a tarp on it; too much of a eye sore.

D..Just get a clear piece of heavy plastic...duct tape from the lower edge of the windshield down over the cowl /screen vents.. into the engine compartment no more water problem during rain storms

New turn signal switch. Nothing fancy but important just the same. Friday I picked up a new trac-lock with 3.89's to be installed next week. Last week we replaced the rear leafs with grab a trac 4.5 std.

After the third member we will be adding dynomax turbo mufflers to replace the flowmaster 40's so I stop waking up the whole neighborhood when I fire it up to go to work. LOL Gonna put in electronic cutouts and pipe them out in front of the rear tires for when I need it loud.

Already did it my friend, but the rust is minimal... It still leaks just a little and that bothers me but, no need to cry yet Just a matter of learn for the next time.. COWLS ARE BAD PEOPLE!

Roy... I LOOOOVE how you car is coming out man... you have great taste!

Got the rear Conversion to Disc brake mostly done.

My first post in this thread.

Today I went and picked up my radiator from the shop where I had it repaired. Get this: A new heavy duty aluminum radiator from Summit, bought two years ago.... and the damn thing starts leaking in 2(!) places after 2 years of use!?! Well make that less than one year, as the car sits still over the winter months, so it is not constantly in use.

Plus the guys at the shop told me that it won't probably be long before it starts leaking in new places.

I'm not happy!

End of rant!

Well I assume the grill fairy came over night and installed the grill on my car. No one seems to claim installing it. Wish the wheel and clutch fairy would show up now!!!!!

My state inspection expires this month, so in the process of checking things out I noticed some small drips of brake fluid on the left front and it turned out to be the brakeline hose bolt needed tightning. Then I discovered the exhaust doughnut gasket was leaking, so I had to install a new doughnut gasket. Everything else seems to be in good shape.

What did I do today? Scheduled a pick-up day with my dad! Shippers should get the car on April 13th (or thereabouts) and I should have it in my garage the following week, just in time for my birthday!

 

[droptop73]

Congrats Steve!

Congrats Steve!

Yah, thanks Jeff! I'm so stoked I can't hardly sit still. I've been pricing out wheels and tires (because it's GTG mechanically), but my dad has two Ford Racing 5 spoke rims (off his 2001 Mustang GT that he had to sell) that he said he'd give me that I may use. Just need to find two more wheels that match.

The countdown begins!
