Ding Ding Ding! Free beer for Mach1 Driver tomorrow!

I got a hold of a date and numbers correct carburetor last month. Got it off ebay and after a little barter/swap I 'made an offer'. Seller accepted and I had a shop, J and J Carburetors, rebuild and restore to original specs. I Installed a choke kit, bent a new fuel line, hooked up the pcv and installed on my 69 Cobra Jet. A little fiddling around with the idle and the choke's fast idle speeds and we are back on the road. All in all I am very satisfied with how it all turned out. Gotta say the carb shop did a great job. Three weeks turn around including shipping, no extra's, ran it before sending it back and did it for the price quoted. Brian

Picked up another one of these things! This one is a 2006 GT with 120,000 miles on it ,black with black and red interior . These kids just keep messing them up and i just happen to have the parts to fix them good as new !already has new brakes all the way around and he just did the full front suspension . He fried the tranny but i just happen to have one here. I have everything to fix it ,even the black paint ...my new stable is growing ! Problem is i have enough parts to build one more ,damn it !

Heads Picked up an Offenhauser dual plane. I had some recommended machining done, had it cleaned. Painted the heads and intake with Eastwood's ceramic engine paint. I may use this instead of the single plane intake. Tacked the RH quarter on, has a subtle 2" bumpout.

Can you post a shot of the engine from the front? That looks like a 351C valve cover in the 1st pic. If it is a 351C and you put a thermostat in it for a 351W, that's your problem.

Been working on the car a bunch. Here's 2 videos that sum up what I've been up to. https://youtu.be/c7xi6lAeIog?si=7piREKf66bLOQOgO and https://youtu.be/2JQDAicumKE?si=vPEpMBB9NPo-oz-W Began dynamatting inside of rear quarters and rear structure to quiet down the car Prepped for welding! Not thrilled with how this panel goes together. Will have to rework it later Ready to come off table Thankfully my lift had one more lift left in it before the seals blew lol Mounting the rotisserie Mounted! Still SO MUCH welding to go. But i'm having a great time.

They gotta pull a trailer to each track. Can’t do any outside help, only the driver and passenger can work on the car

While I waited.... I took care of some surface rust then painted the floor with some Eastwood rust encapsulator. Then I did the following for heat and soundproofing. 1. Sound Deadner - pick your favorite brand. I had some left over from a past project. 2. Decoupling - I used "Design Engineering Under Carpet Lite" (Carpet Lite) 3. ACC's Essex Carpet with the Mass Backing. It's also molded, and worked great. (Mass Backing) Also, If your going to tackle something like this - do yourself a favor and purchase 10 inch heavy duty scissors, they cut thru all these products, and made the carpet install a breeze.
