  2. I couldn't give away my old 14's. They ended up at the scrap yard. Take what ya can get. The trim rings I did sell for $50.
  3. My father is still working at GM with 53yrs. No plans of retirement either. I would of left a lot sooner LOL
  4. Frosty is my hero! Also seemed to leave all the F-bombs out i texted LOL Thanks Frosty!
  5. Gorgeous car! Rims look great also! Keeping it a Lemans or doing a GTO clone?
  6. ive used a propane torch, unlit,to find vac leaks. it changes the idle when your close.
  7. I just dont know what i need lol. I am getting closer though. i want to be able to use the original E-brake cable. Sway bar is in!! had to cut a small piece off the jack pad but it fits now and doesnt hit anything!
  8. I like that color as well. Welcome aboard!
  9. I'm going to send you all the pics frosty. I just finished the brake line mess tonight. Original mock up on bench didn't include the damn shocks in the way. An order to summit and all is good now. Sway bar is the next hurdle and i'm working on that tonight. They closed the track do to another lawsuit so..i have time now. The e-brake is the next chapter then the prop valve (adjustable likely) Taking longer than i wanted but i want it to look and function as if it was stock. If anyone has some old E-brake cables i will pay shipping. The ones from the drum thru the frame with the micky mouse clips.( i have the clips fwiw) So do i..
  10. Well the old rear end is out. All the Parts from QP arrived in the last week. Total bill was 3300.00 . I will not be using their upgraded brake line kit. ( not worth the $75.00 and would look like crap in my opinion ) Instead i went to my parts store ( autovalue ) and bought weld on brake line retainers PN 60029 allstar performance, and ford replacement rubber hoses PN BH25665 parts master and PN 50150 allstar performance brake line clips. I made a bracket to bolt to the 3rd member to mount the original brake tee. I am using NiCopp hard brake lines from the rubber lines to the tee. This will look Factory i hope. Pics coming later today. I hope...
  11. Call Butler Performance.https://butlerperformance.com/i-24487139-bp-crate-engine-461-501-cu-in-long-block.html?ref=category:1267471
  12. make sure the Patch piece is up to ethanol rated gas line. 70 didnt have the canister as far as i know. The crushed piece is the issue i bet.

About 2 weeks it will be here. Real nice people to talk to. Only found a couple people who had issues doing some searches.
