Project Progress....

[ITSSLOW]

something i just pondered is why every time a car nut wants to restore something.. the first thing that comes to mind is.. "let me take it apart as far as i can, and then put it back together"

lol...

B E A Utiful Stang..

Kinda had to on this one. It needs more work then you see in the pics. The trunk needs to be patched cause it has a hole in it, the floorboards are shot, getting a new top put on, the tail panel needs to be swapped out, needs a new grill, and the pass. side inner fenderwell/side of engine bay needs to be swapped out.




I ordered a complete engine rebuild kit which includes all Felpro gaskets, Clevette bushings, Ford NOS pistons, rings, and a comp cam and lifters. It's everything but machine work and labor. Got it for $1200 shipped from Ebay! Not a stock cam but nothing to wild. It also has a performer intake and 650holly carb. When it goes back together it's getting headers and flowmasters too!

As far as suspension goes we are just tearing it apart and putting new bushings.

Very cool car. Those cars are hard to begrudge and hate to much IMO. They are classics. I used to know a guy that had a 72 hardtop with the 350C motor in it. Very cool.

Nice car! I wanted to buy one of those 70's stangs a few years back.

Tonight after I get back from dinner and a movie with a special someone I am tearing the rear end apart. Tomorrow it gets powerwashed and the body gets fully analized!

So Tom when are Kolin and I comin up to help out? He owes you! and It's not like I have a life or anything. Cars over girls anyday. Right?... Oh and by the way, your welcome for finding your pliers. WOW!

[JAdair]

Wow nice lookin car

[81DaytonaPaceCar]

Wow, very nice.

Pretty rare too...they only made 11,853 'verts in 73...I gotta imagine that a triple white one is part of a significantly smaller number.

[FireBirdGirl02]

Vary nice guys! Keep us posted on how the project goes!

So you're going to analize it, eh?

But seriously, nice 'Stang. Is it a 351 Cleveland 2V or 4V?

Yeah, I'd really like to find how many were made. A few years ago I found a site that you type in your options or your Vin and it shows the cars with those options but it was for Camaros. I want to find one like that for Mustangs!

Ok, so I didn't back until 1am from dinner, a movie, and some TV time. Would my girlfriend be pissed by last nights actions? Yes. Did I do anything wrong? No!

Ok, anyways, today I went out and tore the crap off the back of the car and snapped a few pics of the engine on the stand.

Before today...

From today...


351c 4v! 58k orginal miles.


Don't get to excited, it was online like 20 min work to get it all off.
