MAC390 327 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 I have the modified base the GT Falcon guys use with high rise manifolds. They make them in Melbourne. Got to mount the electric fuel pump , ignition and exhaust. Got to get the new 12 slots 15/7 and 15/8. Want it running for Christmas and take it to the All American Day at Castle Hill Towers in Jan .

MAC390 327 Report post Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks Shep69, nearly there after two and a half years and i can see the light. The rust and bad work done by the previous owner was a bad joke but she is a real S code will be great when finished. The crazy part about this that they were driving the car in such bad condition.

My situation sounds exactly the same . I had to rebuild the back end of the car as it must have been hit in the rear end and done such a dodgy fix. Sad part was I paid to get the car looked over before purchasing and all they said was the quarter panel was changed. Pretty rewarding doing the work yourself and you know it’s done to a much higher standard. 2 RPM and MAC390 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been to the All American Day before so will have to go this year. I hope it doesn't happen while I'm away. I'd like to see your car there.

MAC390 327 Report post Posted November 25, 2017 No far now, just got to wire up the fuel pump and the ignition electrical, start it then the exhaust system. The interior needs a couple of bits and the console needs parts which are expensive. 2 Footcutter11 and bigmal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All works including the neutral start switch , now the instrument panel and dash gauges. All the interior lights work and the engine cranks and has spark.
