I’m looking forward to the updates and upgrades over the next few years. The other twin wanted and got a classic square body pick up that is pretty slick too. Nice, but where are the pics?
October 9, 20187 yr Funny you mention that. I was cruising Netflix the other day, thought I'd check it out and ended up watching several episodes. I enjoyed it, but if I have criticize it for one thing, the chick in the show is too hot to be the "engine specialist." I can appreciate T&A as much as the next guy, and I'll admit she was a major reason why I continued to watch, but come on. It's been done in all the other shows with hot chicks working in the garage. They'll show a picture of her standing next to her dad's hot rod to show that she grew up wrenching on cars. Can she degree a cam? Know the firing order of a SBC? Just busting balls. I enjoyed the show. But she's still too hot. You mean this doesn’t look like your standard grease monkey to you?

October 9, 20187 yr You mean this doesn’t look like your standard grease monkey to you? For a stang, it's got nice curves

October 10, 20187 yr Thanks Chad Fuck! That worked way easy. The pick up is a 76 GMC with 3 on the tree, Twin 2 is having a blast learning how to drive a standard. The mustang is a 65 with red interior, has the small motor which is fine with me. I’m sure at some point I will get to repurchase the mustang when he decides he wants something “newer” its funny cause twin 1 doesn’t want to add any mods to the 65, wants it as close to factory as he can.
October 10, 20187 yr Thanks Anton and CF! We just moved into this house and the barn has been awesome. I like to weld and piddle with shit and this gives me plenty of room. I need to add a lot of cabinets and build some work benches.

October 12, 20187 yr I’d like to have a beer with this guy. Seems like a Mustang DirtBike kinda fella:

Looks like a 65 body, thunderbird rear quarter pillars with the opera window, and associated trunk with the spare tire option, and with Cadillac tail fins (?)
October 14, 20187 yr Where are y’all getting mustang parts online? Thinking an upgrade on the alternator is in the near future. The headlights change output when you rev the motor. Also thinking a better headlight would make a big difference. Thanks for any and all help.

Look at the power master 100-130 amp alternators (CJ Pony parts carries them) and get a new external voltage regulator (mounted on right side of the radiator). That's one of my next projects along with a new under dash wiring assembly.
October 14, 20187 yr Had the engine rebuilt this summer, so Dodger got to hang out a bit with General Lee.
October 14, 20187 yr Wish I could....I had just stopped off one day to check on some progress of mine and it was sitting next to my truck. Owner was not around and mechanics were at lunch. Just took a few pics. Sorry.

October 19, 20187 yr If in the Austin area and looking for something to do on Saturday the 27th before watching the game or hitting the Halloween parties that night,.... https://www.eventbrite.com/e/6th-annual-main-street-car-show-tickets-44671740378 Supposed to have been a few hundred cars last year......video is from 2014. If weather isn't too shitty, going to be there.
October 21, 20187 yr The trip to Carlisle Pa. for their Fall show back in early October The next project car ?? This Bronco has been garaged for 25 years. I wanted to buy it, but couldn't afford the divorce.
October 22, 20187 yr Just about done with mine. Finally. All that’s left is a little rust remediation underneath and some final paint touch ups. Then I’ll have her pinstriped. Oh and tint on the windows.
October 22, 20187 yr Why tint the windows let that thing be, nice clean look. I’m not going with super dark tint, but I wanted to darken it a little. Feel like it feeds the overall vibe.

It makes the whole monolithic thing happen, and that big lead sled will look even cooler with the darkened windows. All prohibition era gangster like
October 23, 20187 yr Guy designs and builds a Ferrari competitor. Turns out ok and still drives it. Good story.
October 26, 20187 yr Question for you guys. My brake pedal sticks just a little. As in when it rebounds it doesn’t go all the way back. It’s maybe 1/4” from back to where it should be and that’s just enough to keep the brake lights on. Any idea how to fix this? Right now when I drive I’ve sort of perfected just sliding part of my foot under and lifting it back up. Clearly that’s not ideal and not the safest move.
October 26, 20187 yr Or weld a little toe bar to the top like they do in NASCAR so that you can pull it back up.
October 28, 20187 yr May be signs of a brake booster going out. Assuming you have power brakes? If so does your engine make enough vacuum at idle?
October 29, 20187 yr That is nice, how much did they want for it? Go ahead and pick it up for me, and I'll pay you back
