Got to take our cars to a couple small shows in the last to weeks. The son ended up with some bling to go with his car. I need to take car of a few things on mine so he doesn't get all of the attention.

A little update on our projects first two hundred miles. Mile 43. Coil went bad. Replaced. Also replaced thermostat temp was running cool temp problem. fixed Mile 113. Alternator tension backed off...

No problem. We also tapered the fade outs the scope where they meet the hood to thin them out. Paper thin at edges. Forgot to mention it also got pop riveted down. But some of the heads get ground off in finishing.

We used 3m panel bond. It can be spread then icing body filler. We open and shut the hood a hundred times adjusting the hood and finishing the car and its still good. Time will tell though.

first test spin. Everything seems to be working good. I love the way this built 727 feels with the 3.55s

He got to move it to the garage and out of the project bay.

Bumpers painted and installed. Also put front spoiler on.

Washed off a $1000 worth of barn find dust.

Got the interior done. We made all our own panels.

First time car has been run in twenty years I'm guessing. No leaks. This seems like it is going to be a quick revving engine, very responsive. You will have to excuse the thrown together open exhaust.

First gas going in the project

Got front part of carpet roughed in and shifter bolted down and adjusted.

Logan got a new trunk board cut out using the original as a pattern, and got the trunk mat installed. Actually he cut two out, one for my car also. So we both got new shiny trunks tonight.

All the fuel lines are in. Modified some the the clamps to allow a longer Allen head though. Drilled and tapped and installed.

Steering column is off the list and in the car. Was a breeze to rebuild.
