    Build Thread My First Notch Build Thread - Remember me?!

    I don't have access to any kind of sand blaster. My buddy has been talking about getting a blast cabinet from HF so I'll see if he's planning to get that any time soon.

    Build Thread My First Notch Build Thread - Remember me?!

    Hey guys. I finally got a chance to work on the car since I got back from TX2K17. I don't know if I mentioned it but the starter ate itself on the dyno. Well after taking the transmission down to address why, I still don't really know why. There was no powder coating on the face of the...

    Build Thread '83 T-top Coupe - Welding Holes in My Rear

    I helped my buddy restore his like this back in 03-04. His had the same package as the Bullit Mustang(390, with a 4-spd) except it was Ivy Gold(light green) with green interior. Then it flooded in Hurricane Katrina. Hopefully, one day, we'll get a chance to restore it again.

    I've never been huge fan of pony wheels but the R look good on some cars. I personally liked the SC wheels better on your car. I guess it's because I really like the SC wheels and plan to get a silver set for my car some day. That deep dish just says "I'm not to be played with, buddy". But...

    Build Thread '83 T-top Coupe - Welding Holes in My Rear

    I know what you mean. I WISH I would have took pics of the dis-assembly process of my dash. I'm still puzzled when I look at some of the stray wires and connectors under my dash. It really makes me want to find another roller and just transfer my drivetrain and suspension to it. But my bank...

    What's A Good Electric Fan Controller?

    I actually bought a Leash Electronics single relay board with a 70amp relay on it. The controller had a soft start feature on it so I never installed the relay board. I'm guessing maybe I should have. I'm using a Mark VIII fan and I know it has a pretty big amp draw on initial startup but I...

    What's A Good Electric Fan Controller?

    Hey guys, My Flex-a-lite electric fan controller took a crap when the car was on the dyno. So I need a new(better) one. What's everybody using? Since the Flex-a-lite controller didn't last on the dyno I know it won't last with street driving...especially in the New Orleans summer heat. What do...

    Yeah, I definitely plan on getting MSPNP. The tuner said that would help also. I knew the Systemax intake wouldn't make power all the way to 7k I just figured it would give me a good 6500. Yes the vacuum leak and springs left some power on the table. I just felt pretty broken after that...

    The puff of smoke was from the rocker stud issue and the smoke from under the car was from oil leaking onto the headers from the valve covers. The contact patch on the valve was a little wide but it was in the middle. My ci. is 363, Dart Sportsman block. As for torque, it wouldn't register...

    Well I was able to get the brakes working properly Tuesday. My buddy that works at Goodyear put it on their bleeding machine and that did the trick. I was able to replace my P/S pump and install my nice shiny overflow bottle. I ran out of time to drive it around that night because we had to...
