wow, i woulda taken em all. good chance of finding something useful. best score i ever got was a diff at pick n pull for $50.00 31 spline 3.55 posi, N case, put in my 75 f100

My 66 coupe project, and shelby buried on the right side, dont know why some random thumbnail of a red mach is at the bottom

Ok here are all the pics so you can see around the whole mess LOL lookin from front left corner of garage door left toward side entrance at back looking to front shelby hood up top

@ridgerunner / our shop uses milton, all the couplers we replaced eventually leak, but they are used by the mechanics all the time, maybe 1 has come apart.

i use milton regs, i purchased an air dryer years ago. http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/air-dryer/A-p8055757e our shop uses plastic piping, one buddies garage has cast pipe, and other one has copper im lazy, and just use lots of air hose. but will probly do copper or cast

leafspring may be messed up, did you replace them or refurbish the old?

Post pics of your messy garage, we will see some great ones i imagine -Have a mustang in it, or parts of your mustang in it, if you cant put your car in because of the mess, try to have your car in front of it. Post away !!

oh, i just seen flanders pic, how high is your roof?

@1969 vert - how high is your garage ceiling? @ridgerunner - which brand did you get?

yeah this is more like the "I made some garage doors to park my cars in the house" kind of thing, rumour was around 250k spent approx. more museum, for sure. if we have a messy garage contest i will post pics of mine

mural on the wall, taillights work as well and the doors, alot of stuff to look at more wall so that is about it, there was so much stuff to look at, everything down the smallest detail was car related, from pistons to make handrails, and piles of emblems, and logos, hundreds of diecasts, and all dust free. i cant remember size of building but was just unbelievable. hope to get back there again sometime.

the lounge area again, custom built railings with shocks as the upright bars staircase with custom lettering, bulletbroof glass that wont scratch and the custom painted roof, with some clouds

from the garage door more stuff in between the cars more, though i suspect the lift is used just for cleaning the underside of the car more eye candy he does like the orange A&W theme, as both cars are orange

this is the view from the throne in the bathroom, yes its a girl in a yellow polka dot bikini, the garage owner was going to get the song playing later whenever you were in there. this is the lounge area, you can watch tv from here another pic more of the lounge area

We had one of our local mustang meetings in a club members brothers garage, the owner of the garage doesnt have a mustang , though we can hardly fault him. I brought my camera and wasnt sure if i caught everying, this is the first pic as we went from his 3 car garage, to the Garage Mahal. very nice floors and this is what you see upon entering another look back at the entrance this is looking left of the entrance, you can see the 2nd door this is looking left at the first bay first bay this is from uptop, from the showroom mezzanine looking left from up top, you can see his plasma tv, on the stone wall, jukebox and what garage wouldnt be complete without a "shitter" here we have some mustang items

also this plumbing can be used

before starting after it sits for a while, a day or so. take of aircleaner, look into carb, you can move throttle and see if accel pump shoots some fuel from the squirters, if so you have fuel in bowl, also do you have see through sight plugs on side of bowl? just check for fuel in bowl basically. from what i remember about hydraulics, a pressure regulator will bleed of extra fluid to the tank with a return, without one, you deadend the pump, which is why holleys are noisy, you can plumb a return back to tank or one to the carb only. on the opposite side you can put a pressure gauge to see the output like this to check power valve. put your finger and plug the front fuel bowl air vent while running engine, if the engine dies, the power valve is ok, if it keeps running , it is sucking fuel through the power valve. you are creating a vacuum which will stop fuel.

i loved the cars in drive hard, im still kicking myself for not buying that aussie falcon a couple years ago

so if the perches are in the correct spot, you can use with some offset rims, otherwise figure cost of offset rims, versus finding a proper width one. i picked up a early t-bird big tube housing all rebuilt for $500 a few years back, a buddy also picked up one close to same price with a posi

hmm, i have to check some of my car show pics as well, did the hood come with the shelby part#'s on the underside also, i think around the latch area? Gulfstream is what my shelby is supposed to be, you better send me some nice wallpaper pics when its painted up.

what type of pump do you have, some of them can have higher pressures which may overwhelm the floats / needle also is your pump on key on power i hope? when shutting off, the fuel pressure will still be being pumped until the key is off. you can also replace the needle/seat assembly.

do you have a good pic of before and after of the underside oh hood? this may help me decide what to do

messing around with carbs is a science, the good old skin eating carb cleaners used to be a lot better at cleaning out everything, now its a bit tougher on rebuild i have found, one of my buddies dad who worked at ford in the late 60's used to tune my big block with a holley all by ear, the thing ran awesome

Good job :)
