Hi Mike Where is it leaking? At the caliper? If so, what kind of brake calipers do you have? Post a pic of where it is leaking Vic
-
Hey Mike, making good progress there, whatever happened with your battery and starter situation?
-
I actually got both of my Mustangs in the same garage for the first time. https://ibb.co/zn72BQQ https://ibb.co/xSHhjvG

Hey Mike, the car is looking really good , It’s coming together. It’s been pretty cold down this way as well, but, I think it’s gonna be pretty nice this weekend.
-
Oh. Getting close. Hope you get it started.
-
Oh, OK, that makes sense The only thing I can think of is the Crown Victoria had an AOD transmission and flex plate, so the starter from that set up might not work with your Mustang, which has a manual transmission and flywheel. Using a stock starter from a 1987 Mustang GT with a five speed should work
-
Hi Mike, sounds like your starter is not engaging the flywheel. I would pull it out and make sure that there’s not something wrong with the Bendix drive. You should be able to bench test it to see if the starter gear is properly engaging. Also, just in case, you should take a look in the bell housing to make sure there’s no broken teeth on the flywheel or starter On mine, I’m sure I used a 157 tooth ring gear flywheel In my 1968 Mustang, I’ve a very similar set up, with a roller cam 302 engine and a T5. I used a stock starter for a 1987-1993 V8 Mustang. I’m not sure what a C/V means with respect to the engine.? fyi, I did not use any kind of bell housing spacer as I used a bell housing from an original roller cam 302 manual transmission car that came with the engine. Don’t think that has anything to do with your current problem. Vic

Way to go Mike! That is a big milestone! Vic

Car is finally 100% done! Headed to MCA National Show in Savannah next weekend. Rich Ackerman is also going to bring his ‘73 Convertible.

Hey Mike, really hot down here in Charlotte too, been taking it slow in my garage, but good work to keep moving on the car during this weather.
-
Oh thanks for this!
-
If you’re not showing a car, I don’t believe there’s any cost to attending the show
-
The MCA East Coast national show is in Savannah Ga on October 12 and 13th. These shows are great opportunity to see lots of cars and also to look over high-level and Concours restorations. I’m taking my 1970 convertible there, it will be its debut at a car show. I’ve entered into the modified class. Rich Ackermann and I will be trailing our cars down there together, he’s bringing his ‘73 Mach 1 October is a great time of year to be there, the weather will be beautiful, the car show is in the convention center, which is on the river across from the old city, so all the cars will be indoors.
-
Hey Mike , good to hear that you’re making steady progress on the car. I hope it comes together soon.
-
Nice work! Yeah, that head scoop is not right, the front edge corners should not be rounded up they should be flat. I would send it back to where you got it from and look for another one.
-
I have the Global West +3 upper control arms, and also the Viking coil overs on my 1970 convertible. I used Open Tracker reinforced lower control arms. I have a Borgeson Steering conversion with an open tracker, roller idler arm The Global West UCAs allows me to run over 5° of caster, which really helps with the handling of the car. I also have a 1 inch Shelby drop. The Viking coil overs are very cool, they have adjustable rebound and damping, and you can also adjust the right height of the front of the car. Very happy with that set up

Car is back from having the top put on. Just getting the interior together as the final items to get done. Getting close Can't upload pictures
-
The 600 should work fine. Don’t forget to run the hot wire for the electric choke.
-
Hey Mike. Not a bad move to keep the project moving forward. It's been super hot down here in Charlotte as well. I guess you thought ahead and put a fuel pump eccentric on when you installed the timing chain. I have had trouble with posting pictures as well. I will try again. The site traffic seems like it is down to nearly zero. fyi, there is a National MCA show in Savannah in October. I am bringing my '70 there. Nice town to visit if you have not been there. It is inside, in the convention center. Vic
-
Cool. What’s the spacer for, to make up the difference between the water pump and the crank pulley?
-
I’m still here, I just been busy at work, I’ll be back on and posting some stuff soon, thanks to everybody who managed to kill the BOTS
