Just finished my tree decoration.

Awesome, cars going to be a weapon when you finish. If you have not already thought of it now would be a good time to weld in reinforcement plates on the shock towers, as well as the "dog bone" on the outside.

Mal, sounds like you have exhaust drone issues. You can fit "J" pipes to your exhaust to help eliminate this problem, unfortunately you need to know where to fit them and the correct length, but worth doing some research into.Do you have a "X" or "H" pipe joining both exhausts together?

I have just done my 65FB, so what I do is put a line of masking tape just outside the area that is the gasket line before the glue is applied, this prevents you getting glue marks on your paint outside the gasket line.

checked the clutch/bell fit.  had to shorten the TOB sleeve to clear the clutch discs.  engine is finished with detail.

I would stay with body colour, the 2 pack clear is a lot more resistant to oil and brake fluid spills.

I would recommend painting the engine bay and the trunk area on the rotisserie, it's a pain to get into the tight spots, but a lot easier on a rotisserie. 

So is that how you bought the car, with the gold stripes, or have you restored your car? Love the 4 post by the way, something i need to invest in, lying on my back under the car is really getting old now, and so am I. :-( 

Its a pity someone did not make a doco of the museum and the auction, would have been good to see.

38.6 lbs ,i couldnt do the weight in kilos ,my neighbors probably could though ...they get raided quite often .
I would go 39 lbs to be safe 

Beautiful job on the painting, I would have thought the 427 would be the silver grey in the side stripe, but black would look good too.

Hey ??? what's all this upside down and back to front business, all the merican cars down here all know which way is up.(our way)lol
All these cars are happy in their new country.

Yeah, thats because most of them are in Australia now. ;--)

Nice, I hope you can get some enjoyment out of the car now, your daughter seems to enjoy the car.

I have just measured my old 28oz flex plate counter weight and I have the same measurements as RPM, so you may be onto something with the wrong plate.

The little guy was just brake dancing ;-)

Instead of a fuse use a circuit breaker and just because its a 100amp alternator does not mean you need a 100amp breaker, a 90amp would be best.

I bought a rebuild manual by George Reid C4 and C6, mainly because I want to keep my car as original as possible when it goes through the testing grounds and once registered it's out with the auto an in with my 5 speed. He mentions in the trouble shooting section with early or late shifting between 2 to 3, that it can be the vacuum modulator or rod malfunction, also valve body malfunction or governor malfunction or loose tubes on the governor distributor. Makes no sense to me but maybe to you. I have a damaged parking pawl on my C4 and that why I bought the book.

It will need to be custom, which is not much $ 
I have a 4.6 and used an x pipe made for that engine, after the mufflers is where you will need it custom made. 
The pipes will have to go under the axle, there will be Zero room above it.
Dont worry, you cant see them when on the ground.

Making great progress on the custom rear bumper project for the Boss!  Slow going but it's turning out just the way we wanted.  Always a plus!

Doner engine and 6 sp box, from 2017 Mustang

I believe the 600 was a stand alone stripe not found on other mustangs as is the Mach one stripe kit, all other cars came with the GT stripe, a little bit of info here.
