And you got a free hat...right on!!! So I guess I will be seeing a bad ass vert coming down to North Carolina in a week or so.
dude, my stpuid ass is not one for making lists,..i have placed about 8 orders with summit and jegs in the last month or so,...so i think that is my 7th hat,...if i remember correctly,..i am starting a collection
headers and spark plugs in,...i must say,..the headers FIT PERFECT! so thanks to sacrament mustang,..i didnt even have to jack up the engine to install them, and i didnt struggle with a single bolt,...everything went is smooth as can be,..but their gaskets SUCK,..ended up using the edelbrock ones,...
dual feed fuel line for carb,...mmmmmm moooooore fuel
Time to burn rubber!!! That thing is looking wicked...excellent job. Video coming soon right?
hahaha yea man, i leave for mexico sunday and wont be back till next sunday,..then the next weekend i am goin to fire it up,..hopeuflly it works, hahaha
Just drop it by my house on your way to Mexico. I'll have her pissing the old timers off through the streets!!! Have a safe trip and don't drink the water.

ups came,..man i love that truck,...what can brown bring me today!,..its a Fing mustang christmas everyday at my house,...the driver thinks im nuts,..hahah,..
well today was the day i was dreeeeeedin, i have been told one of the easiest or one of the hardest things to do is remove the rear end assembly, due to rusted bolts and where they are located,...well 6 bolts releases the whole assembly,..great, not hard,..spray with PB wait for 10 minutes, and go to town,... bolt 1 snapped, great! nice and easy bolt 2 snapped, great easy! bolt 3 came off no problem bolt 4 came out no problem bolt 5, haha, about 20 minutes and it came out,...not bad ****ING BOLT 6, front leaf bolt SIX HOURS LATER! and 4 blades and two busted saw's ,...grrrr, anyway its all out,..need to drop off the rear end to be rebuilt by the same people that did the tranny, and having 3.55 gears put in it,..
why is it that the last bolt is usually the hardest? the first bolts/nuts usaually aren't that hard and you think, I'm i going to get lucky! then the last one takes more time then all the other ones put together. I've always wounderd that. love the way your car is coming along.

You are working away!! I remember the weeks when packages would arrive at the dorr daily it was so much fun.... I am starting to think I need a new project to get those boxes moving again... Everything is coming together you have to be excited!
thanks man, ordered the gears, now i have to wait for them to get here and drop off the rear for rebuild,..and i think i am about rear brakes and wheels and tires away from atleast a moving car,...hahaha, not bad for under a year! and a one man wrecking crew with no resto experience!
man, edelbrock must love you. looks good though, and 8.8 is what is currently used in mustangs, the 8 inch is good for upwards of 400hp, many people have mildly built 8 inchers running upwards of that on 65-66's especially. It should be a good street cruiser with the new engine and some 3.55's.
More like a street bruiser!!! If you can get that rear looking as good as the front, slow ass racers aren't gonna cry so bad when you blow by them. They'll be like, "Dang did you see that rear," and then their girls are gonna think they're gay!!!

guys if it wasnt you joking around and keeping the mood lite, it wouldnt be so much fun doing this,...i am so sick or struggling with rust and bolts,...i have always worked on new cars, so this was never a problem,..
AND YES, that rear will look as good as the front, i spent 4 hours scraping the inderside of the car,..rear seats back yesterday, i have to paint some spots then finish the undercoating,...i just had the driveshaft blasted and i painted it with por 15 it came out brand new looking,...this is also my plans with the rear,...
guys any guess on the power this thing will be putting out? 302 bored 30 over, edelbrock top end kit with thunder 650 carb dual feed fuel line?
i have a wrx-sti that puts 358 at the wheels,..and this thing moves,...will it be close? power wise,..i was hoping for atleast 300 at the rear wheels,..
you might be looking at the same power level as a new GT so maybe 250 to the wheels 310 maybe at the crank. I dont know your cam specs though so its only a guess. by the way i noticed your running stock rockers, I have some brand new sbf comp cams roller rockers id be willing to let go at a 1/3 of the price, bought them 1/2 off when a parts store went under but im currently not running any 302/351w motors.
You mean the fact that i just spent all day stripping a car which im pretty sure someone did a 5 coat spray can job on and no amount of sandpaper or stripper works real well is stressful.
But +2 on the por 15, I know the stuff is good and its easy to get addicted but why not just shoot some blue on the driveshaft and save a few bucks.
