Progress Thread Hoopty v2.0 - Back in action!

You gotta do something about those wires.....they bug me.

I hate plug wires. It's what drove me to do the COP conversion on the last car. Hell, I may even do it on this car. Just not now, or anytime in the immediate future.
Because - I HAAAAAATE my garage now. I have absolutely no room for anything. I cant move around the car without having to do a sideways shimmy. Pretty soon I'm going to start on the shop, and then it's game on.

But to your point, I'll refrain from posting any under hood shots until I can R/R.

They bug you bc they aren't plugged in

That's a nice looking engine bay. Needs a restored fox HO plate.

I have a nice explorer plate, I don't have the screws. It's on the list, it bugs me not having one!

Anybody that spends 11.00 for screws, then another 10 for shipping needs to have the screw in their head tightened.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Hmm. I bought those.

Free shipping though

I'm sure that yours are a much more higher tensile strength, grade 8+, micro polished, better than OEM quality kind of screw, than the rest of the screws left on the shelf though....

 

[Mustang5L5]

If I could find appropriate screws on the shelf that would be one thing. But I didn't have any in my bins and don't feel like wasting time hunting them down at a hardware store

 

[RaggedGT]

Pretty sure my intake plaque screws came out of a license plate hardware kit (cause they where shiny)

 

[General karthief]

Use anti seize on them.
