    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    Yesterday was another great day. It seems like I've been working non-stop on about every car I own except the Mustang and the Audi. Doesn't sound like much, but we have seven cars, not including the mother/father-in-laws vehicles. So you can't even imagine how awesome it was to have a few...

    Then JR has us all again. Most of us just use the engine bay to burn money. Thought I was going to have to do the same. Now I did have the front end up. Didn't figure it would work, but glad it did!

    Well, the Ranger's clutch took me three days thanks to an over indulgence in red locktite and Ford's ingenious hydraulic set-up. Had the gentlemen I bought the Jeep engine off of come up with a "you know what I do on those clutches." So after two hours of vacuum bleeding the clutch, I took his...

    Steve, I'm going to need you to talk really slow and explain all this fancy automatic stuff to me.....one day.

    Mike, I know it seems like you have been back and forth on the car, but you have basically redesigned the whole car. From an outside perspective, you're finishing the last couple percent of "done." Likely really hard to see from your perspective, but I recommend you step back and give it a...

    How's the pan doing?

    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    I appreciate it Steve. I'm hoping to have the pans about done tomorrow. I may take you up on it when I go to remove/stab the engine in the Cherokee. This weekend will likely be clutch work on the Ranger, but thanks to JR's help, I'll likely have the running motor during the week. So the plan is...

    Progress Thread She’s a runner

    Oddly enough, I don't consider it enough myself. I'm stuck on wrinkle black, or straight VHT. Sad considering the H coat was originally intended for aviation and automotive parts.

    I managed to cut out the floor pan on the Jeep today. With the covid shot and other junk they've got me on, I'm just obligating myself to those jobs that I can work a little here, than a little there. Today I managed to cut the pan at my initially drawn line. Only problem is that I was supposed...

    KZ, if you're running into problems getting a standard temp across the intake, let Steve know. He knows how to get a hold of me. I don't know how low I can get my cerakote oven down to, but am willing to give it a try. Or, you could always just cerakote it and not worry.

    Mike, you just made me realize something. Like you, I'm only done changing things when I've sold the car. Otherwise it will never get left alone.

    The fox looks great, I fell off for awhile and hadn't seen it lately. Love the galaxie, but think it's even more awesome that you're getting the kids involved. Right on!!

    I'm a huge fan of Yukon after they built their name with some 4WD folks I know. They provided me my first set of 5-lug fox axles about 20 years ago. Their customer service was great at the time, and regardless of the stock spline count, I beat the snot out of them without any problems. I've...

    No worries. I still haven't run my vacuum line yet. But scheduling would probably help...lol. I'll give you a ring tomorrow.

    Steve, I have the "across the fender" deal to hold the engine if you need it.

    See this is what a true support network sounds like. Instead of "yeah, you might not want to keep doing this." They say, "I got your beer man, go for it!" :nice: Did have another awesome day today. I finally got a chance to run by a buddies house and see his projects. He's currently working on...

    In typical ridiculous fashion, there has been no progress with the Mustang. I worked on the Jeep truck bed, so it can be moved, to replace the clutch in my ranger, so I can go pick up the engine General Karthief found. WTH? Two trucks....yet I have to work on one, so I can get the other, so I...

    Mike, the show is great. For those of us with too many projects it's a reminder that a running project far outweighs perfection. Besides no matter how pretty it is, not working still equals not working. No worries, JR found me an engine, now I just need to straighten the passenger floor pan...
