I have the Boss sitting on my lift, and didn't feel like moving it (since it doesn't drive under it's own power yet), and most of the work is topside work anyway. So there! Neener neener right back at ya Big Bro. :grin: Steve

I like that car. Just wish I could actually read the Marti. By the look of it, it has rust everywhere and needs a total strip. Wonder how bad the torque boxes and frame are. I also wonder if he has the missing engine parts in the trunk or if they're just gone. That car would be cool with a...

More progress. Oil pan reinstalled, starter in, alternator hung in place, other valve cover on, heater hoses changed, but I need to see if I can find the correct 90 deg hose for the air cond. shutoff valve. Carb spacer in place. Harmonic balancer and pulley installed. Getting close. (and I...

Canada CS, eh? Arlie, when I bring up the picture, it shows 9:59pm time stamp. Are you sure your computer isn't still on Texas time? :grin: Rob, would love to have you here "helping". Someone had been in there before. Heads were clean but the gaskets were hard and brittle. Timing set was all...

Looking pretty good there! Steve

:icon_no:

Canada CS, eh? It's starting to go back together. I decided to media blast and repaint the bolt on parts, because of oil, corrosion and some paint was missing in places. Oil pump and timing set have been replaced, and intake reinstalled. Tomorrow the timing cover, water pump, and distributor go...

I agree. Contrary to majority opinion, I think the Yakima car has potential, to the right person for the right purpose. I taught my kids since they were little, "If you don't ask, you don't get". Still say you'd have to get it at the right price, and shipping to PR would be a real deal breaker...

I will be the first to acknowledge that without the Mustang II, the Mustang name probably wouldn't have survived, and they were somewhat popular in their day, however, I always referred to them as Pinto II's, and hated them with a passion. Steve

One wire exits the distributor and goes to the coil.

I agree with Arlie, and I wouldn't actually do a full restoration of this car. If I had bought it, it would have been to be more of something Brother Rob would love. There is just to much wrong or missing to make it economically feasible to go concours. With that said, you still need to get it...

I told the owner I thought it was worth $8k, if a bunch of parts were included, and it had a matching number engine, but then I can do most of my own work. I typically spend $20-25k on a restoration, not including purchase price. This one would probably cost me more because of condition. I was...

Just to throw it out there, we're sure it's not the tailshaft to housing seal that's leaking and just showing up on the rear of the pan, right? Steve

100% stock as a rock. Steve

Looks like they did get it running and moved it out of the holes it was sitting in. I can't say I agree completely with that review, as I didn't see it as a "rusted out piece of junk". I couldn't see under it completely, but what I did see wasn't that bad. It needs everything, and was overpriced...

Thanks Marty. Shoot, I was an hour away from Salem, Or. last week! Steve

I'm working on a '68 CS, and need to change the air conditioning idler pulleys. My old car only had one idler, but this one has two. I've checked the local auto parts store and looked online at several vendors and can't find anything that matches what's here. Can anyone tell me what the...

Nicely done, Tim! I have much the same problem as Rob. That's my daughter-in-law's Guard weekend, when I've already promised to watch the grandkids. Steve

I think it's good. Steve

+1 on both of the above (says the retired guy that just spent 5 hours scrapping gaskets and bead blasting engine parts). :undecided Steve
