Well again the brain hit me again I forgot to order my timing gear set to finish block and put it in frame .

So not to let this great sunny and raining day go to waste , I starting installing bungs for shock mounts . I have read where the welded on bung specially 1/2 " bolts bend and throw off rear end .

What I did was have some 1 1/4 " stress steel stock from Tool & Die drilled and reamed for a 5/8 bolts . This leaves a lot of meat around the bolt also , I think It should work well . I wanted them in the frame also not just welded to it like most . So this is what I did .

Looks really sturdy, Bobby. Better to err on the side of overbuilt. Bet you are getting excited to drop the engine down in there.

Don

Don no kidding I remember the vid of when you fired up yours . Trying not to get in a hurry now but complete it with patience .

Avery nice job you are doing Bobby and I thought you were going to sell the car once it is finished?? I like your attitude that even if it is going to be on sold you will know that it is a safe and well constructed car. Well done and I will be following along.

I was going to say that you're making it look to easy Bobby! But, like me, 2 steps forward and one step back!

Good Job with the shock mounts too!

Thanks guys this is more inspiration . Been a long 2 1/2 years getting here working on the Stang too .

Tonight finished the other side and placed the shocks in .

I also ordered the timing set from summit but it is a comp cams , Once I figure out this degree stuff the gear set allows for different settings . I have a 268H 351 grind to place in this 302 .

Sure is lookin good
Got the other door jamb done in 80 grit, now time to start sanding in 180 and filling little imperfections, damn it takes along time, grass to mow, kids to raise, work, just not enough time to get it all done

And sometimes just some time off , get to many things running in the head when your sitting on the bucket .
