I'm always happy to motivate others.the new blower motor I ordered last week (when your thread got me motivated to fix it) is in.

Once I get old Sadie's engine out and start rebuilding it, I'm going to get all the wires & hoses nice & neat and tucked away so it looks pretty and uncluttered.

Oh, and I also replaced the PCV valve today. Pretty minor, but it was leaking and was an easy fix.

t_chelle16 said:Yup. Gonna rebuild old Sadie's engine while I drive new Sadie. Then I'll put old Sadie's rebuilt engine in new Sadie and sell new Sadie's engine.

Why? I don't ever plan on selling her and there's going to be a lot about her that's not original when I'm done. Plus old Sadie still has a lot of sentimental value so I want her engine in new Sadie.Realmongo said:If new Sadie has it original engine, then you might want to keep it with the car for long-term value purposes.
Nope, not deluxe. The shifter is old Sadie's (not deluxe either). I didn't realize that's what the deluxe shifter looked like. I just figured it came from some other car (thinking maybe 69 - 73 mustang or a cougar). But I like it better than the plain metal one so put it on.chepsk8 said:I saw a deluxe shifter in there. Deluxe interior?

Reading through this, I can see how much fun you're having! I remember 25 years ago scavenging everything from a rusted-out 68 Cougar I was driving into a clean 67 Mustang with no Drivetrain. It's fun.
also recently, stripping the 88 GT for the Cobra. Every cut, scratch, and gouge was worth it.
You're going to have a great 'stang when you are done!
Queen high to boot!Realmongo said:That's right, you've got a pair of 289s now don't you?
chepsk8 said:In actuality..... two guys came by and for $250, took every body part!
t_chelle16 said:Heater works (although it takes about 15 minutes to get warm, but that's about average).
I drove her to Warrensburg & back and didn't freeze off any appendages.I'll eventually have to replace the heater switch because medium & high are the same, but it works good enough for now. Carb still needs a little adjusting, though. As long as I have the choke pulled out a little it's great, but when I pushed it in, she died at a couple of red lights (started right back up again, though).
And I happened to run into one of my best friends at the gas station and she said "I like".

How many times do I have to tell y'all, "sally" is KEEPING her 6!!!Realmongo said:Hmmm....That new Sadie engine might find a comforatable home between the front fenders of the Blue Fuzzy One's Sally.
Thank You!krash kendall said:Good for you Fritz! Two of my most favorite vehicles I've owned had inline sixes in them. Not enough people dig the reliability and simplicity of them (not to mention the get up and go torque).
