67SuperSnake -> 67 Super Snake (Redux) (5/24/2007 12:05:50 AM)

I don't know where I left off, but I will start posting from several posts back, in a few days!

I have been so busy, but the car is moving along very fast.

Note to Glen: Un pinning and deleting are two different thing. I KNOW you did not do it on purpose. But if it happens again, I will drive to Wimberly, paint a Camaro Rally stripe from the base of your windshield to the front of your hood and down each front fender (OH Yeah, Chevy all the way) in Plum Crazy Purple (Mopar all the way) while making you sit in my car watching my in-car TV telling you why I think RESTOMODS are better than Plane Jane Mustangs, while drinking every last beer in your fridge! ha  That would be a hoot, wouldn't it!

But seriously, I will post my progress in a few days. See you all in August!

You should post it in a cardomain so it wont get deleted.[>:]

my77stang -> RE: 67 Super Snake (Redux) (5/24/2007 9:35:42 AM)

agreed

I just tried to sign up on www.cardomain.com  nothing  popped up when I hit register. It took me to a page but nothing came up besides the heading. Is this a glitch or is my computer messes up?

I'll help you drink his beer! [:D]

I don't want to post it here out of professional courtesy, but if anybody wants to see the whole thread again, it can be found.

I received the Ram dual clutch and installed it and the transmission today.

I lifted the engine about 1" and moved it back about 1/2". That cleared all but one header bolt. It cleared the R&P problem.

Figured out the problem with the trans. Out it comes and a new smaller piston will be used in the Hydraulic throwout bearing.

Started working on the doors. I am replacing most everything, so this will be a NEW car when I get finsihed. I installed the power door locks, new door latches, strikers, lock rods, door lock pull ups, and chrome rings, interior door handle shafts, door handles, and door courtesy lights. Missing one door handle, and the anti rattle piece that goes on the driver side door handle to latch rod, that screws to the inside of the door and keeps the rod from rattling. I don't know if they sell that piece.

No picture, but I lowered the seat pans. Those Shelby Signature seats sit too high IMO. A lot of work, but I would notice it everytime I got in the car if I didn't do it!

The devil is in the details!!

67SuperSnake -> RE: 67 Super Snake (Redux) (5/25/2007 3:41:06 AM)

You know you are getting close when this starts happening. Noise, vibration & heat control by[URL="http://www.quietride.com/"] Quiet Ride Solutions[/URL]. It is a 2 stage project. Sound control by Dynamat. And then pre-cut heat control mats by Heat Shield.

Many pieces in tight places like above the fender wells inside the rear fenders. It takes a lot of time to do it right. But should be worth the effort.

The dash is all buttoned up except for the glove box. It will stay off until I start the hookup of the FAST EFI. One plug at a time.

All the sound and heat control is done. Looks like some of NASA's guys have been working on it.

Electric window actuators are installed and both work fine.

Just for fun, guess what is playing on the DVD?

I started working on the carpet, interior panels and back seat.

Hornblower -> RE: 67 Super Snake (Redux) (5/25/2007 5:46:29 AM)

Either I need to get my glasses updated, or you need to focus that camera of yours. [:D]  When you moved the engine back 1/2", how did that change the geometry of the transmission, etc? 

67SuperSnake -> RE: 67 Super Snake (Redux) (5/25/2007 11:04:48 AM)

Sorry about the pictures, they can be blurry some times. Moving the engine back was to give me some room for the R&P steering.
