i would like to officially exclude myself from the voting since i have personal relationships with 2 of the entries, Pakrat and Stangme, and i'm obviously very partial to the 69 gt coupe and i want to keep the contest as fair as possible, so everyone vote away for your favorite contest car so we can start devising a plan.

[stangme 105]

gee, thanks bnickel, I was hoping that I would get at least one vote, hey wait a minute, maybe this is a ploy to start a bidding war between Pakrat and myself, very devious, I'll start at 2bits..... :lol:

[bnickel 10,004]

whatever man, you're already leading the vote. basically since i'm a mod i just want to keep the field fair is all and since it was also my idea to start this build i don't want anyone to think i'm sandbagging anything, ya know?

[Mike65 475]

Heres mine if its not too late or for the next build or whatever.

[Pakrat 1,043]

LOL, I had opted to not vote for simillar reasons to Bnickel, I didn't want to taint any results. Of course, I had no idea I'd be so wildly unpopular. :lol: Obviously my one vote would not have affected a thing. I may just have to actually cast that vote before it ends just so as to not look completely pathetic. :oops:

[bswor 73]

Heh Heh pakrat. Yeh next time holdtherice we will add you.

[DarkBuddha 107]

Well, I've voted... come on folks, vote! Get invested in this, 'cause you know you're gonna see something that will work for your own cars.

[bnickel 10,004]

hey DB, good to see ya over here. hope ya like it, BSWOR has done a great job with this site and i was just thrilled when he asked me to be a mod.

[Pakrat 1,043]

Heh Heh pakrat. Yeh next time holdtherice we will add you.

 

Ouch! Man, ya put on one factory but not model correct piece on your car and you are suddenly banished from the USA pride to the world of Uncle Ben. :cry:

Zing!!! Your car looks to nice in the pictures so i think thats why your not getting any votes not to mention the WING....

 

:lol:

 

[bnickel 10,004]

hey pak i think you need to post some "after" pics so everyone will see that your car actually does need some help, instead of what they can see in these pics

[bswor 73]

15 votes with only 2 days to go. Come on fella's if you havent voted yet, do so now.

[Pakrat 1,043]

LOL, nice poster BSWOR, that would make a great embroidered seat back!!!!!

 

I'm just having fun guys, I honestly could care less, I'd rather see a fastback redo more than anything personally. The only reason I posted before pics was because they were the requested angles and they were clean and good quality for photshopping, changing paint shades on a multi color car can be difficult enough much less trying to photoshop out all this damage if I had posted the current pics like some of these:

Hmm thats an idea i was just going to have it airbrushed onto the hood and replace my map light with a disco ball. I might have to rethink it now :lol:

[bnickel 10,004]

hey pak did you realize your car has a 70 air cleaner? maybe your parts car has a good 69 one.

[Pakrat 1,043]

hey pak did you realize your car has a 70 air cleaner? maybe your parts car has a good 69 one.

 

Yes I do know actually and the parts car does have the smaller 302 2V one on it but when my car was upgraded to a 4V as was offered only in 70' the air cleaner was updated with it, the sticker on it is also a 70' 302 4V premium fuel sticker as well.

 

I always thought bigger was better for an air cleaner anyway, why, is there a reason I am missing that I should be using a correct 69 one on it instead? My car is going to be anything but stock now so I can see little point to it unless I am in fact missing something. The only down side I ever noticed was that Ithe Monte Carlo bar had to be removed, even a curved one won't really fit.

 

Actually the plan going forward is to combine the two now that the hood scoop will be made functional. I plan on using the stock smaller cover from the parts car (which is about the same size as the filter) in combination with the larger 70' base and then running a 68 CJ type of gasket around the edge of the base to seal up to the hood.

[bnickel 10,004]

no particular reason i just think the 69 is a little more asthetically pleasing the way the crankcase breather tube kind wraps around the air cleaner is all. just personal preference more than anything. yeah i'm gonna do the same basic thing you're doing with the cj gasket since my car already has the hole in the hood stamped out from the factory only i'm using a hi-po style lid similar to what the 69 shelbys had, it is of course painted ford blue as well.
