I never have, nor do I have more than one project.....!!! Or even a garage!!! I love the balancing shock too Dave!! I really do love the front end of the Ranchero Dave, very nice.

Sweet coupe Pieceofpaper, awesome start for sure. Should be one wild ride. Are you going to keep the Zoomies on or are you going with a street exhaust?

Great work Shawn, you really have come a long way. When is it motor time?

I took my car out to it's first cruise-in (this year) tonight, it was a blast. She ran well except for a little hesitation when taking off, but all in all she did real well for right out of the box. Now back to work on the interior.

Did the new radiator eliminate the cooling problem, Brick????

Dave: HA !!! You call THAT neat arrangement in your garage "using one project for a storage shelf." ???? I wish mine looked that organized.


My garage reminds me of the old joke: How do you spot a wealthy redneck???

He's got FOUR cars sitting up on blocks in his front yard.


Here is some of MY mess.

Don

And some more.................

There ya go, Don. The bucket bodies stacked up look great!!! Used to have a sign above my desk that said if a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, what is an empty desk the sign of?

That is a mess I would love to have to deal with Itoldyouso, I would keep one of those bodys in the house if I could get my hands on one, Very nice.

Ya Dave, I went on the first run with her today and she never got above 150' and it has a 160 thermostat! I hope that it's getting warm enough to seat the rings, they said she puffed a little out of the right bank once in a while. other than that the car purred like a kitten except for the front lug nuts being loose.

Try adjusting the accelerator pump on that Edlebrock, should help with the hesitation.

Thanks bud, it's not getting fuel soon enough then? Can I do that by moving the linkage rod out another hole, it's right in the center one now.

Yes, you're not geeting enough shot on initial acceleration causing the flat spot or bog. Was always one of my pet peeves concerning Carter/Eledbrock carbs. The idle can also be fine tuned using different size metering rods.

Man, more proof that my brain is moving towards the permanent malfunction mode!! Not only did I forget my password and have to get Brent and friends to send me a new one, I settled an old debt a friend owed me and would up with yet another project. It's a '78 (I think) Mark V with a 460, C-6, power seats, locks, and windows. Also has automatic headlight dimmer and a bunch of other gadgets. Best of all, it has a FACTORY ORIGINAL AM/FM 8 track that works. It's been setting outside for a number of years. Engine runs great, tranny is smoked. It's a huge old sled, but I've always wanted one, so........

And, managed to get the suspension put back under the '71. It was originally a 3/4 ton with a Dana rear, now it has 1/2 ton springs, a 9" with 3.25 gears, and KYB gas shocks mounted outboard. Should be able to get the back of the cab and front of the box painted and get the box set back on this week.
