It will be nothing overly speical. Maybe 1 will bite, I hope both do. Just enough to get smoke as my rears are litteraly dead. I'll probaly just do it on the brick part of my driveway for fun.

And for my next upcoming project, I give you......... BRAKES!!!! New Booster, New Master Cylinder and I should be rockin. Also creaping up the list is a new rear end. Without all the mob coming after me, can you convert a TC rear to drum brakes using a 7.5" rear setup? Kinda gave a hint there but I need to know so set the plans.

PIC Overload....

O.K.,here's what is needed.....remove the "V8" emblems from the fenders (they're cheesy,and they look cheap.I know they came on T-Birds and explorers.),get a new door and get it on the car.Tail pipes would be nice,and last but not least,nice work overall.You've come a long way.Keep moving forward.

Looking good! :hick:

Mines worse, And it's not looking like i'll get the garage/work area built 'till next summer at the latest. :punchballs:
At this point though i just need to start working on it where it is, It's been sitting toooooo long.
The weather is being a pain in the ass though.

Don't just stick things on your car without a real purpose.When you are adding anything,ask yourself if it "fits" right.Everything needs to "belong".

Mike you have your PCV hooked up to ported vacuum on your carb.  That port only has vacuum when the throttle is opening.

Random Idea Thread

Ok, as I was told today by the Po's wife ( he died before transfering the title over to me), I will have the title in my name before the end of the month. I'm waiting for her to have a day off.

Now that thats out of the way, I have a few idea's I wana shoot out and see if they are good/meh/ a total waste of idea.

1. manual brakes on the car: I know we have been through this but after sluggo's ( IIRC) post I kinda wana do it now. Not to hard to do, and I will run all new lines anyways.

2. Floor shift: Either stock Tbird or even as far as a B&M shifter, I wana do floor shift. It improves the look of the car, gives a sportier style/look and I'm almost hitting the headers/H pipe with the coloum linkage now.

3. Suspention as a whole : I'm thinking CHE control arms in silver, TC rear springs, TC front springs, TC rear swayber, Addco front swaybar, 10" drums in the rear, 11" stang with summit cross drilled rotors up front. Early brake lines. I want it to be a stiff, road racecar like ride.

4. Wheels/tires: I have 10 holes now with 225-60-15's, White 8 holes with 205-70-14's, and I am looking into getting turbines soon. Any other idea's for wheels? I'm thinking powercoating the turbines white for DD duty and the 8 holes for shows.

5. Motor... This is where it gets fun:
The "new" motor will include but is subject to change:
GT40P's
My current powered by ford valve covers with a sligh clean up on them
FRPP roller rockers
A good cam ( to be decided)
Stock bottom end
Summit stage 2 intake
Edelbrock EVS 650 E choke carb
My current Mac headers
FRPP water pump
Mechanical fuel pump by carter
