RandyatBBY 53 Report post Posted January 13 Some real nice work. Mine is going slow too. I only work on it when I feel good. I am all most done with the wireing about 2 weeks of work left on the wire job. 1 RogerC reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RogerC 129 Report post Posted June 16 Haven't been doing a whole lot. I plan to drop off my heads July 3rd. I've bought new Manley valves, Howards valve springs, seals, roller rockers and roller cam. Dam cam went up almost $200 since the first of the year. I want to pull the block, strip it and drop it off to get cleaned and checked to make sure it doesn't need bored. In the mean time I'm working on some small stuff. Had the kitchen redone in 21 but the contractor messed up the flooring. That's finally getting replaced next month (not by the contractor) so house stuff is taking priority. I made a new throttle cable bracket for the engine. I've developed a tremor in my right hand so the welds aren't very pretty. Will have to do something about that. Here's the intake/carb mocked up. 1 mikee reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,157 Report post Posted June 16 I hate it when life gets in the way of Mustangs. Regarding welding torch shake, when using a mig and after getting the pieces tacked together, use your off hand at the end of the torch to steady the path of the weld. When using tig, if you've laid down an ugly bead, go over the bead a second time with your torch hand as close to the cup as you can get. You can also steady the torch using your off hand.

RogerC 129 Report post Posted August 5 Got a new complete wiring harness (American Autowire) for when I'm ready to install. Also got a Nu-Relics electric window kit. It was about $100 cheaper from MCB parts (chevy) than CJPP for the same kit. The machine shop is still working on my heads. I checked in last week and since mine wasn't a big priority they were working other jobs first. I expect them to be done next week. 2 RPM and Mike65 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerC 129 Report post Posted September 3 Modified cowl panel. Tacked 1/8 rod around perimeter on the bottom, cut away the slots, tacked 1/4-20 studs on the bottom side, welded shut washer nozzle mount holes, drilled new washer nozzle holes on top, sanded, skim coat of bondo, sanded smooth, primed, wet sanded, primed again. It'll get aluminum or SS mesh and the studs trimmed if too long. I have 3 more of these if it doesn't workout. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
