Probably drive it around the block once. Heck, it's almost done, I'm bored!!!! For me the fun is still in the build!!!! Just want to turn it into ca$h and buy more Ranchero goodies!!!!

The truck will be sharp like the body and interior mods you've done . That year and the work will move out fast . I had a 70 with the Explorer package on it .

Dave with your talent would like my 67 fastback there for a year or 2 and put the E car to shame . I know you could do that with one eye closed and a arm in a sling .

Thanks,,,,just too bad I'm so dang slow, huh???? Oh well, put the word out that it's for sale, hope to turn it fast and get going on other things.... I've had it for 17 years now, time somebody else owned it.... Maybe they'll do more then leave it in the warehouse most of the time!!!!!

Heading out to Panama City, FLA for a week. It's my daughter's graduation present; a week on the beach in a condo. Talk to you guys next week, be cool.

That sure has to be a good pulling engine in the pic, Pat!!! Any idea what kind of numbers the blown version of a 502 makes? That firing order decal is a great idea!!!!

Pat as long as you don't mind me drooling over those engine pic's. looks like a no budget version you have on the stand .

less then 7 pounds of boost they made 620hp on pump fuel they are very close to the same cams but 4/7 swap and i blue printed the one i built hoping that engine pulls i bit harder then is brother i re work the intake ports on the intake were way to big for the heads so i welded them up and re work the ports .he is going up on boost with intercoolers so power will be up there just 502 gm bottom ends with the cantfield heads with erson cam s thanks the decal deal i been doing for some time

Wow! Fantastic eye candy, I would like to have one in my El Camino! Thanks Pat.

Made alot of headway this weekend brakes up and working , drive shaft new universals , and fuel system is together . New fan clutch and detailed the fan and some smaller engine bay parts . I also placed the exhaust manifolds in some 3M metal prep and let them soak a week . Cleans the rust off and leaves a protective coating on them . Get the radiator cleaned and painted , rebuild carb give a once look over should be ready to run out in the street . Needs the pressure washer soon to get all the dust off.

Also can i solder a neck back on radiator with plumbing sodder .

Bobby,
My headway today - mowed the lawn, raked out some bare patches and reseeded, spread a yard of mulch, cleaned out 2 hornet nests. Needless to say, not much of a car day. ( But I did install a secondary fuse block tho between honey do's )

It's really starting to look great. The earlier photos of the underside will make lots of folks jealous.

As far as soldering with common plumbing solder - try to find some tin/lead stuff as it flows better then the new lead free. Clean it well to a bright surface with CLEAN sand paper, not steel wool, flux it up like a copper water pipe and go to it, being careful not to overheat the base radiator copper when you're sweating the joint.

Dave I need to cut the grass also . I'll look for the tin/lead thanks .

You know the bottoms been done allmost 9 years and I have about 15 hrs in now this week and its close . I have about 20 hours looking for the stuff i packed 8 yrs ago LOL . Felt I was walking in circles alot looking .

I discovered this model T, I guess thats what it is while riding my atv at my families farm. The motor, front cowl and frame is entact. I would say it has been there for 20 plus years. The frame looks to be in pretty good condition, but I am a rookie to this so I really appreciate any help. I am hoping to convert into a ratrod, just the bare essentials to be legal. So, what do you guys think>
Thanks,

That's a Model A you have there not a T.
