I dunno, old bronco on big tires in 2 feet of snow is a pretty good time. 😆

Got a little weather today. There's another foot on the ground right there now, had to swap the Mopar for the Bronco. 😄

Yep, ordered that book a couple days ago. Bought a brand new version so he'd make a buck off of it instead of a used one, too. :D I plan on having the shop do all the checks and inspections done when I drop it off. I'd rather pay a little more and get it right the first time. I'm fairly sure...

I do plan to paint my engine bay Sublime when I pull the 440 to put a 512 in it... but I don't want to because it makes people unreasonably angry. 😆

I did exactly that 23 or so years ago when I pulled the 318 out and put the 440 in. I knew eventually the car would be painted a different color but didn't know what, and wanted it to be clean under the hood so I prepped and sprayed it all in semi gloss black. 20 years later I finally decided on...

Ha, funny. I lived in Healdsburg for many years, Sacramento for a few, and out west of Maxwell most recently before moving where I am now. That Maxwell show isn't very big but it's fun. The whole town can't have more than a couple hundred population but they fill the park and field with cars...

Oh yea, and an old one of the dog before I cleaned up the engine bay. :D

Couple of mine from last year. Interior one is black leather and white vinyl. Dash is all repaired underneath and then wrapped in leather, same with the steering wheel and center console. Dark green is a prime coat mistake. :lol:

I'll be having lots of questions, more than I already have :lol: .This will be the first build from the bottom up I've done. The car currently has a 440 in it with what I assume is a good block as I've been driving it all of last summer, but just found metal flake in the oil. No audible knocks...

I spent some time on it yesterday and confirmed bad news. Found the knocking sound and it was external, but there's definitely lots of metal in the oil. No sounds yet but I'm sure they're coming. Spoke briefly to a local machine shop (Xcuda, I haven't called the one you recommended yet...

They are AMD as both were in bad shape. Great observation!

I'm taller than a normal door frame and put new seat mounting points half a foot or so further back on the drivers seat so I could just bolt in in further back. The rear seat bench is only a couple inches from the back of the front seat, but it lets me drive it. My head also brushes the...

I like the extra space of the 400. Until I find a T/A hood for my car, I'm going to keep this flat hood. Makes for a good sleeper-ish, other than the obnoxious color screaming "race me!" I'll have a lot of research and reading and questions in the near future. I'm going into a busy week at...

Annnddddd big giant change of plans. Found metal flake in the oil today. Quite a bit. Engine's going to have to come out and I'll figure out a new plan. CNC emailed and said they were sold out of the Lunati cam I bought last night and refunded me (they can make an identical one as a custom...

Progress, of a sort. I ordered the Lunati Voodoo 704 cam last night. It'll likely sit on the shelf until next winter at this point, but if I piece together everything between now and then I'll be set. Or, if I stumble across a 400 or 383 block and start a new build... 🤔

I went with the Cooper Cobras in 255 60/15 and am completely happy with them. They look great, have enough clearance I'm comfortable with them, and they ride and handle well in the 20 or so miles I drove it yesterday. Good for burnouts, hook up fine when I want to launch, and look great...

Hahaha I'd love to stroke it, but that's a project for another year! If I found a C or B body to put a real obnoxious 440 in I'd love it. I'm learning loads here, and with the hour or so of other reading I've been doing a night or two a week. Eventually I'll get this thing dialed in just...

Yep, got one. That's one of the first things I did when I started working on this car again. All is well.

Found time yesterday to pull plugs and stick the camera in it. They look like flat top TRW's to me. Doing google image searches of old TRW slugs, these look exactly the same with the center circle, and are of the right era. I took pictures and they show up good on my phone, but not when I try...

I'd rather have a completely not-original car I can go out and drive and burn the tires off on than a $100,000 project in the shop I can't find the correct speed wiper motor for. :D I've got a radio in great shape on my shelf, not sure if it's the R35 or not. I'll check and if it is, you can...
