Starting vacation this Friday and hopefully we'll all see a vid of the 67 cpe running for the first time in 10 yrs . Prices are going up clips for brake and fuel line was $46 today 28 piece set . Allmost a $100 for 3 soft lines . Still looking in boxes for one of the brkts for hard line to soft . Did a move in the tear down time and i think it went into hiding .

Only 4 hours left; dont be shy. You wife really wants you to have this truck!

Another good day's work (for me that's about 3 days) and the box should be ready for paint... Not much after that except finish up some wiring, put the seat in, and fire it up....

Well bet you've been wrapped around the new grand babie abit also.


A good day for me is called tinkering around a few hours . But if there is a couple new bolts in im happy .

Well, it's never sold until the money's in your hand but I can live with $4100 for the truck. Hope he enjoys it as much as I did building it. Lots of good fabricating practice in that one.

Not a bad price, Falcon, a bit of working capital, anyway.

Working on the pickemup this weekend, the new carb and distributor didn't show up on the big brown truck yesterday, so I can't finish up under the hood yet... Still have a few odds and ends to finish up on the engine, but it's pretty much ready to fire... Should get the blocking done on the box (again) today, then hopefully it will be ready for sealer on Saturday and maybe even some paint on Sunday or Monday!!!!!

Dave what size motor are you running in the truck? If it's a 429 or 460, where did you get the aftermarket pulleys. I'm running into problems with the placement of the alternator, so looking at the set up in your truck, that would work. I only found a few aftermarket billet ones, and thy are in the hundreds of dollars!

The engine is a 351W. I made my own alternator brackets and had to redrill the water pump pulley... Bought the set of 3 for like $70.00 on eBay... A bit of hassle to install, but they look good.....

they do look good! The search continues for me!

Been too busy to work on the "Z" lately.

Today I'm workin' on the P.U., getting it service & cleaned up for the DragList Nationals III, 2 weeks from today @ Eddyville Dragway Park In IA.

2nd day of vacation (1st day cut grass and napped ) started looking for the hidden brackets for the engine . Some i had cleaned and painted before they where put away . Only one left is alternator brkt to strip and paint . Wish i would have taken pictures of it before i took them all off. Got it figured out and couldn't find the alternator spacer only thing missing in action so far , I made a temp out of gutter nail spacer till i can find it or get the correct one . Looking in parts cat they list them all without air this has air . . I went thru a move after car was apart 8 yrs ago , so some things were packed in any box open . Get it running then pull out the pressure washer to knock off 10 yrs of dust . May have a buyer with a guy i work with he said he's intererested .

Look closely at the apron you can see the original factory runs in the paint .

Looks good, Bobby! Ford Blue was a cool engine color. Looks like the test fire is pretty close?

Well plans for fire are before the 21st . Put a few hours every morning then enjoy the time off with momma . Still have to rebuild carb and see if i can get tank cleaned . Who does tank cleaning anyway i never dealt with that one a rad shop maybe .

We have a radiator shop here locally that does, probably the same around you, too....

Anyway, break time's over, back to sanding on the box and (hopefully) getting the base color sprayed......
