The areas that are bare metal were areas of minor surface rust. I removed any and all rust in those areas and widened my sanding margins as well, especially around the master cylinder.

Barry told me the same thing. Basically sanded everything to 180 to get all the rough spots smoothed out. My original paint was in decent shape and I felt good about going over it with SPI. I wet sanded with 400 then sprayed an epoxy sealer coat before my single stage

Stock oil pressure sender for the idiot light in the dash. I removed it later for an actual pressure gauge.

Send him a PM

Yes he replied with a quote. I’ll get in touch with him again when the time comes. Reasonable price IMO. I’ve seen very nice work from him based on the pictures he sent me of a 68 and 69 gts panel.

Thank you. I currently have 69 valve covers on. I replaced the broken tabs. I just got a set of 68 valve covers I need to fix up. Took me a long time to find a set.

Just an update for myself showing the rear tail pipes and tail panel. Wanted to see if @partsmonsta Is still restoring these tail panels.

Where is partsmonsta located? Was the price reasonable?

Yes I did post a quick clip of the break in. It runs good. The AVS2 carb runs really nice too. Haven’t had a chance yet to fine tune with a vacuum gauge. Still in the shake things out stage.

The green dart which you haven’t given them a ride in yet. :poke:

Thank you! She’ll be a good driver while my kids are young. One ran into it with their tractor yesterday. Had a 2 second fit about it but was like oh well. It still needs paint and body down the road. No dents or anything. If it is was any flimsy newer car it would be in the body shop.

Got her out in the light under her own power yesterday. Coming along. Gotta track down a few little gremlins. Short little spin down the street with my boys. Yikes!!!! Still Mushy brakes :wtf: Exhaust Manifold bolt spun when retightening everything after cam break in. Small puffer after the...

Awesome! Such a nice resto. How do you like the avs2?

Little update. Got the 8-3/4 swapped into the car along with new 340 springs from ESPO. Changed out the pinion seal while I was at it. New rear drum brake hardware. Old drums were in really good shape. In the process of refurbishing the tti exhaust pipes. Also waiting for my combo 1310/7260...

Nice build. Nice touches.

Nice idea. I’ve been getting by with fencing pliers.

I kept the clips from the slant six. Looked liked this one pictured. No idea yet where I might be able to use it. Love how clean everything looks. Very nice

Looks great. Did yours have guides for the lines.

Mind showing pics of the transmission cooling lines and routing? About to do mine

Moving right along

Will be watching this one.

Back on all fours. Still needs 8 3/4 and new rear leaf springs. I’m digging the black Steelies with redlines. ECU located and ignition trigger wire spliced into original wire terminal. Came out nice.

VHT matte black

One step forward and one back it seems. Was missing a headlight adjuster screw. Then throttle cable from YearOne was a dud. Too long. Inline-tube stainless flare was poorly done. Same with one of the caliper lines from Right-Stuff. 18in 7 blade fan doesn’t work with 68’ 22in slanty A/C radiator...

Hey your floor is too clean.

Elves have been busy. One side of suspension nearly complete. K/H disc brake conversion QA1 upper control arms QA1 strut rods and eventually the tie rod sleeves. Hellwig sway bar. These tabs are way beefier than the Addco bar I have on my Valiant. Might be on all fours this weekend. :steering:

Agreed. It’s the best.

Fun watching this build since I’m right along with you on mine. But it’s just a V8 swap

Moving right along

Good tip. In my case all new stainless brake and fuel lines. :)
