Video

It ran fine, trans shifted good, and all is well. I did some more tweaking, replaced the front coils, in the next video. Next I will show some of the tweaks to get it shifting at higher rpm and some freeway and kickdown testing.

Glad you like it!

That's so cool that you inherited something with such history!

@@1otviii it fits my taste perfectly I got a thing for 50s/60s craftsman! I also inherited his 40s or 50s craftsman table saw. But I bought an old king seeley drill press a couple years back and have a 70s all chrome craftsman circular saw, plus a load of old sockets and ratchets that I'm trying to grow to a couple full sets. Nothin better than old craftsman in my eyes except the few snap ons I got!

I am pretty sure the jb weld will work, at least for a while. Thanks for the comment.

Probably. What do you need

thanks misha. moving along

Parked out on the street now with a for sale sign. Thanks for the compliment.

Thank you 🤗

it cleared the exhaust fine. I zip tied the cable a bit so it did not hit anything.

@@1otviii Thanks

Thanks 👍 runs good. More to do, but rest is easy.

I did have a valiant with the 6. Ran ok, but I sold it.

not hard. just be sure there are no metal burrs on anything.

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Hey, thanks!

Runs good now. It is street legal, so can do a real burnout.

Couldn't agree more!

Thanks a lot. Running and driving, now I am working on sealing up the interior now, and moving on to carpet.

Heh, yeah. Going to change the fluid now, and make sure it is all good, and do some good ones. Thanks for the comment.

I forget. I think this was just stock pipes.

yeah, I understand. Have to do a little crawling then.

Yeah, I have the skins done, now I have to figure out a way to cover them.

​@@1otviii Cover the panel with 1/4" closed cell foam (scuff/cement the foam). Spray a thin layer of cement over the foam and the fabric and let it dry for like 10 minutes. Then place the material 'gently- over the foam and lift it without bonding to get it to where it needs to be. When it is right get it to hold fast by pressing from the center outwards. If you cut decorative grooves into your foam with an xactco knife then don't work from the center out, work from the top or bottom to the opposite edge so the material will drape into the grooves without stretching. Best of luck.

Thanks. I will do that

Thanks 👍 was a lot of work. I will post a longer video in couple of days

Yeah just the way it is

Many thanks!

Yeah, make sure it does not leak.

lol. Yeah, just struck me as funny

LOL. Yeah, it does look more rod than transport. With the low stance and the loud motor it will get plenty of attention.

Thanks for the compliment. I thought for sure I was building a horse barn....

thanks a lot. starting to come back together.

Thanks a lot for the compliments. It took a lot of work on both to get them on the home stretch.

Nearly impossible. I found one about 15 years ago, and this one. Thats all I have really seen, other than in some high dollar car show, and only a couple of them.

@@1otviii maybe hang on to that one if you can.

@@Hotrodford yeah. Don't plan on getting rid of it.

Yeah, the colors worked out pretty well. Looking forward to some car show or parade.

Thanks. I am color sanding it again to put the final coat of clear on it. The test went super well, and the clear is hard as a rock, and super glossy. Now to finish it and start re assembly.

@@1otviii Ordering some new skins and hog rings for the seats?

@@justinpakarno4346 can't find any kits. I will try dye first

Yeah eventually, after the car is all together. Main thing is to keep it flat, then put plenty of clear on so it can be buffed.

Thanks. Nice to have the end in sight.

Thanks misha. I got the red coat on yesterday, video will be uploaded today. Next, clear it all and will look like a diamond.

Yeah,, they did not do a good job on design.

Heh. Was a lot of cut and patch on that mustang. Unfortunately, the whole thing perished in a shop fire.

Glad it helped!

Thanks. Been a year of hard work. Paint going on now, then reassemble and drive. Appreciate the sub and comment.

Thanks. Yep not a ford, much bigger

Thanks. The paint is really bringing all together.

Yeah. 200 videos. Big difference

could be, just going by the frame

Yes. paint will be like a mirror, look like new car. Colors are great, will be a beauty. :)
