Machspeed 219 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 Congratulations, MAC! The car looks awesome!!! I missed your build posted here and really wished I could see the initial pictures you posted up. Photobucket has really wrecked havoc on many of the build threads here. If you find time and still have the photos, it would be nice to see the thread fixed. Love seeing the transformation process. Sorry to see you were hosed in the purchase too. We don't live in a world where a man's word is golden anymore. Very sad!

MAC390 327 Report post Posted March 21, 2018 Well i got the wheel alignment done yesterday and today the over axle exhaust pipes were done, picked her up and drove the car home on a special permit. Cause it pours down rain and the roads are slippery, car did not leak and the traction loss under slight acceleration was controlable , car ran well. Car gets weighed tomorrow and Friday gets registered. YES!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted April 1, 2018 Several folks have told me, including a good Ford mechanic friend and I've read online that I'm able to replace a leaking rear main on my 351W while it's in the car. Is your repair not possible in the car with the FE? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
