What did you do to your car today?

[Tnfastbk]

Tore down the sanding booth and started 80 gritting the metal to prime. Have high hopes for this week!!

Will it be ready by July? Thats when I will be heading to SC

Finally got the rocker studs and roller rockers installed and set-up.

For those with 351C-2Vs who want roller rockers and don't want to machine the 2V heads to fit 7/16" studs, I recommend getting some Crane Cams 5/16"-7/16" studs (p/n: 52655-16 - Crane Rocker Arm Guideplate Conversion Kits. Summit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-52655-16/). A little bit of a PITA to install, but I got it figured out today.

I found it odd that CompCams didn't have a kit like this - a little disappointing... I would've bought one to keep the CompCams valve-train theme going, but oh well.

Also got a few things 'blasted and painted today, and picked up some engine mounts.

Gotta kick it into high-gear starting next weekend though - gotta get the cowl damage repaired, rehab the whole trunk area, install the rear suspension, rebuild the rear axle, drop in the engine and transmission and get the battery tray welded in before the end of the year. The Auto Hobby Shop is definitely going to be closing soon - and I think I can pretty much handle the rest of the 'little stuff' in the driveway.

Geez, you lucked out on that one!

I drove mine for what seems to have been the last time this year and washed it, so it's clean when it gets covered up for the next few months. :dodgy:

I unloaded the latest one from the trailer and played Mach 1 shuffle in my back yard. It doesn't look too bad back there but I'm too embarrassed to post a backyard pic. I hope no one takes a satellite pic of my area anytime soon cause that sucker would be around for years on the web! :-/

Google "Don's U-Pull-It Salvage, Sales, & Wannabe Restored Mach 1 Adventure Playground" for the address.

 

[marks73]

Started sanding and prepping the metal to coat with the POR15 I have left over nlast night. Then I'm going to buy some Rust Bullet and see how it works especially on the areas that will be seeing sunlight (engine compartment, bottom the hood) Heading out to inventory body panels I have to check for duplicates and help Don out.

Make sure you look for the Alabama location, not the Ohio one

Bwahahahaha! I thought I had the only one!

I have no desire to be a competition...just want to fix up 1 for me and 1 each for my 3 boys. All the rest I plan to get rid of...Bro-in-law Brad has the 71 H code, Robert's getting the yellow 73 H, both have already disappeared from my signature, Mark's getting engine mounts, Roy's claimed C-pillars & a seat rail. Everything I don't need has got to go...but I need to inventory first before I go crazy with it.

We repainted the cowl area that I was unhappy with. Looks 1000 times better

Seats going together

 

[Mister 4x4]

Nice! Are those TMI upholstery kits, and if so - are they the 'sport' style?

Lookin' spiffy, Roy!

Seats going together

Looking good! I played with the baby all day and didn't get the seat track mailed. Ok, it was really cold outside with the 20 mph North wind so I said to myself "Roy can wait another day on the seat track".
