quick update --- over to my buddy Andy's garage to work on the 69 along with another friend Joe -- great to have friends that are car freaks... goal of the night -- test fit the new clutch pedal from modern driveline-- - removed the power brake booster and master cylinder - and yes remove the brake lines:tongue_smilie: - remove driver seat - makes it much easier to lay upside down - pics show the possible location of the new mount for heim joint mechanism - fit the shifter onto the viper T56 - hurst handle with white 6 speed knob after staring at the new clutch pedal for a bit - determined it was the wrong unit - talked with bruce at modern driveline and he confirmed it was a 71-73 - new 69 clutch pedal shipping out tomorrow.

cool cant wait to see the pics... debating on the shelby style trunk lid and end caps for my coupe. nice shock towers.....

yep.... someone stepped on mine thinking it was the pedal... duh... yep its broken... now i have to research replacing it...

woo hoo parts arrived.... still waiting on the clutch, hydraulic slave cylinder to drop ship from vendor. also awaiting on the cross member... key components, but at the least i can start converting from automatic over to a manual.:tongue_smilie:

congrats again... getting very close.. cant wait for the video....:tongue_smilie:

cant wait to see the new design...:tongue_smilie: project is still amazing.... keep up the great work!!

yup... i went with the comp cams 8931-16 linked lifters .... expensive but i hope they out live the block...

great work!! great build!! ... post some video!!... great input on the factory install "procedure" Pak ... im about to go thru the rubber replacement on my coupe so thank you guys... i bought my weatherstip kit about 4 years ago... i guess i need to locate it if its 250 a side now... keep the faith flight96 your almost done... i can only imagine what that convert feels like cruisin down the road with the clevor rumbling... gotta be a great ride and a cool feeling knowing all the hard work you are putting into it!! :punk:

finally - a quick update - the remaining parts for installing the Viper T56 in the 69 should ship out soon from modern driveline. just because you set a date to order parts .... and plan.. doesn't always mean life wont just happen.... paid the invoice today from modern driveline so hopefully parts will be here soon and we can start the mock up and locations to cut the trans tunnel. photos from the GT2 build should help.. oh yeah and decided to do a job change in the middle of the build :whistling:... but things should be back on track soon... maybe ill be able to add a hydratech setup with my new position:tongue_smilie:now i just need to research a PS pump that works with the factory PS and hydratech setup and if i go to TCP rack.. so for all those that have asked how hard is it to install a T56 in a 69... i hope to have decent notes and photos in the not so distant future... :punk: lol.... just read my old post... intended on ordering the parts on 4.5.09... patience is truly a virtue.. just 4 months later...

i have a original set - one beauty ring for 68/69 GT with center caps... i ran them on my 69 coupe for several years. 00ps .... you need 70... sorry

wow!!! thats awesome.... a GT coupe... 351W 4v - 4 speed.. that had to be a fun car back in the day!!:tongue_smilie:

machined :tongue_smilie:

wow! that's clean!! looks great!:tongue_smilie: lots of installs using MSD...

contact the guys at modern driveline .. they have a clutch pedal kit to install if its a automatic or manual. you will have to modify the power brake pedal... grind/cut it down and use the pedal cover as a template.

wholly crap Pak !!! you had to do that!!! install some wide tires on that and wow.... i love it! now if it can be done in reality...:punk: i had to open my mouth...

pak i was thinking the same after looking at the 69 rear bumper for a while... maybe a bumper cover type..

hmmm best i could find..

fight96 - the shelby scoops -- i had planned on installing these also -- did your original sheet metal have the studs? post another video when you can .. im curious of how the clevor sounds!! :tongue_smilie:glad those pistons worked out for ya!! keep up the good work!! :punk:

nice - next you'll be making a CF splitter for the rear like on the saleen extreme or S7 - i wonder what that rear valance would look like in place of the 69...:tongue_smilie: I'm waiting for the post when you replace the satin black boss style hood with carbon fiber inlay....:scared: looks good .. keep up the great work and ideas!!!

WOW !! looks great!! great work!! all that time on the body paid off!!
