Alright. Figured I'd start a thread to show the progress of my 1967 coupe build.
Recent purchase with very little drive time due to complete failure of the brakes.
Details:
Engine:
Reman Roller 302 HO from a 90's truck. 75a Powermaster alt. FiTech Go fuel injection. Long tubes, and 3 core aluminum radiator.
Only know issue is it aledgedly has a stumble at high RPM when Hot. Previous owner beleived it was the signal wire to the coil getting interference from the plug wires. I've lengthened and rerouted the wire for now. P.O. beleives the best fix is to add a msd box. It's on the list for now.
Trans- 4 speed top loader. Seems to shift fine. Got hung up a little when I first got it off the trailer but nothing since. It's touchy at real low speeds. Need more time with it to say for sure.
Brakes** 4 wheel manual drums. They were pretty soft when I test drove it, I assumed it needed bled, but found the Master cylinder to be full of rust and nearly no sign of fluid in it. The car was driven to a cruise and in a funeral perssesion the day before i got it "saw the videos myself." Brakes are getting over hauled.
Interior. It's black clothe. Factory was red. The seats and dash inserts seam to be from a 68. I'll probably redo most of the inside. It does have the roof console and I think that is cool.
Body. Factory was white. It was repainted 20 years or so ago and looks great from 10 feet back.. Best I can tell, all body panels are factory minus maybe the hood. It'll get some rust repair at some point.
Pics below to show the car and the brakes.
