Dude that is so sweet. I totally had the same idea just havent brought it to frutation yet. Right now I keep an old laptop in my tool chest with wireless, but eventually I want to add something a little more perminant that isnt so slow...

Jeremy

Not to sure what the plans for it yet are. I know we have been fixing alot of things up with it so far.

We have done all new plugs, wires, cap and router. Changed just about every fluid you can think of. Repacked the axil bearings and a gave it a 3 stage wax job. I think eventually the engine is going to get pulled for a complete rebuild. Only has 78,000 orginal miles but it does burn some oil. I thne think onece that is complete some body work will be done to get rid of the "cancer", and then a possible respray. The whole idea behind the whole project is that nothing will be done to it that we can not do our selves. So I guess we will see how it goes.

Here are the only other pictures I have of it at this time.

The only Major spot of rust...

Note to self Josh is a sasquash and doesnt know his own strength. Dont let him tighten bolts on your car.

The Heart

Jeremy

Yes that is true. Not me sweeping out the garage in the picture above. After that was complete the garage floor got a good scrubing with degreaser.

Here is anouther picture for you to ponder...

The Aluminum Foil Mod

Jeremy

Oh and let me clarify, Mr Wilhide - Jeff aka Dad.... Razz

Jeremy

So lets play a game here, can any one guess what it is. Here are a few clues... Wink

The Eagle Has Landed

Hmm Nice Numbers

What Do I Spi Here

That is all the clues you get for now. If you dig deep into the pictures I am sure you can find the anwser. And for those who know don't spoil the fun.

Oh wait here is one more for you all to ponder on.

Got To Clean Up After Ourselves

- Note new air compressor which is sitting between tool box and old air compressor. That may come in handy as well...

Jeremy

Cool pictures dude. Do you have a problem If I create you a gallery so you can upload them to it. Let me know.

Jeremy

Hmm you not only made it in one magazine this month you made it into two... Double congradulations to you.. Thumbs Up

Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords

Jeremy

Dude that thing rocked. Best part of it was it used BEAST as its projectile... Twisted Evil

...

Jeremy

That would be so great if he really did call in and do that. To bad it is a dub, but funny none the less. Razz

Jeremy

Congradulations dude. Has this copy hit bookstands yet. I really would love to pick up a copy of it if it has. I have a subscribtion to muscle mustang, but not this one. Oh well congradulations again... Thumbs Up

Jeremy

My plan is for it to be that way. I havent really had a chance to check my schedual yet, but it should be free. Between work and going back to school things are going to be tight, but I would love to make this event. I hope it is running 100% by then.

It was actually really fun just got frustrating at times... Oh well I would do it again.

Jeremy

Thats right folks the good old stang is up and trotting in the fields again. Man what a mess that was. It started about 4 months ago when the coolent crossover in my lower intake manifold cracked. Well we dissassembled the whole thing which is pretty much the whole top half of the engine. The car basically set with just the block and heads for like 3 months while I debated about a plan of attack. Well I ended up deciding that the best way to fix it would be to just keep it stock for the time being. So I went out and spent an arm and a leg to get an updated stock intake manifold. Yeah that is right this one has an aluminum cross over, where my old one was plastic. No craking here.

Well I got the time to put it all back together on saterday. Everything went pretty good. We had your normal problems of loosing bolts and numerous trips to the store to replace them. The only major issue we ran into was we snaped a screw that held the EGR valuve in place. Well it snapped flush with my upper intake manifold. So that required about 2 hours of drilling and trying to back it out. The damn thing kept snapping or would snap out tools. Good thing they were craftsmans. We ended up drilling the whole thing out and retapping it for a slightly larger bolt. Ended up working just fine.

The car started up on the first try after a good jump start, this amazed the hell out of me becuase I had never done this extent of work to a motor before. First trip out I ended up blowing a coolent hose so back to the store for more anti freeze. Tightened that clamp down and attached a vacume hose that we missed and it ran fine. It runs a bit rough at idel still and backfires a little but I am chalking that up to the full tank of gas that has sat in there for 4 months. I am going to run that out and fill it up and run some gas cleanser through it and see if that helps if not it will be back to inspecting our work.

Oh well glad to have it running again, many thanks go out to my dad and brother becuase it would have never gotton done with out them...

Jeremy

Ill be gone camping this weekend, but I would be there if I wasnt. Make sure to take lots of pictures.

That sounds pretty neat. I hope I can get my car back together in time by then. This sounds like an awsomely good time, exspecially the photo shoot at the battle ground.
