What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Made a little more progress on my 67 Barracuda's front suspension rebuild. Stuff I removed and either cleaned or replaced looks pretty good, making my wheel wells with their almost sixty years of dirt look kinda bad. If I had known I was gonna go this far, I would at least have pressure washed the wheel wells and sprayed them with undercoating. Too late for that now, but I will pressure wash them after I get the car back together.
Today, I bolted in the lower ball joints and what I call spindles but the shop manual calls steering knuckles. My pile of parts still off the car slowly gets smaller and smaller. I could go faster but at my age I'm only good for a couple of hours a day.

Attempting to right this egregious wrong ...
I was able to salvage the oil gauge fitting I broke off when I pulled the motor. Dang it, knew I would forget something!!
Just got back from a 100 mile cruise. Every one might be the last for the season, so I had to get it done!

I've doubled up gaskets when running 273 rockers on hydraulic lifters. Gutted the baffles. I'm not sure why these valve covers needed so much modification other than they were super cheap from Holley.

I used a hand-held mini sandblaster with baking soda in it and it made it look like brand new! It looked very similar to yours, prior.

I needed more clearance than double gaskets. I also have the rocker geometry correction kit in there which adds some extra height.
I'v done the same. Always wonder about changing the Ph. Need to neutralize that.

I flushed it all out with wd40 and compressed air.
I'd probably thrown some distilled water at it first but I aint no chemist.

I might very well have at the time. It was a while back. I know I read up on various methods before I did it. I'm sure I had a few beers too.
A couple splashes of beer should have worked too lol. but that would be alcohol abuse.I might very well have at the time. It was a while back. I know I read up on various methods before I did it. I'm sure I had a few beers too.
These valve covers are just wrong. I dont see how they would have work in a stock configuration.

A few of us braved the chilly weather to visit a local-ish cider mill (possibly the last outing of the year). After some cider and donuts we drove some scenic back roads for some "smiles per gallon"! All in all a little under 100 miles for the Jaundiced GT today.

Saved these from the scrap yard...

Going to swap in the 64 and see if it exorcises the demons.

lol. I went to take an inaugural drive in my barracuda only to find the brake light switch is bad. brings the total number of things I need to fix the car to horn, brake lights, door locks, brakes (im putting in vacuum assist) and a new rear end.

My buddy's wife, Stacy, caught the Jaundiced GT rolling in to meet up with other club members before we headed out for the Cider Mill.
Can't wait to hear about it!!
