Not much progress over the summer was way too hot in the shed but managed to get a few things done .
Fitted the rear window trim and managed to stuff that up

and finished the drivers door fitting the glass, seals etc , boy thats fun by yourself got there but took a little while to adjust the vent window frame to side right against the upper door seal all works nice now.
Only thing left is to fit the inner and outer weather seals on the door itself.

Also had the heads rebuilt for the motor I supplied the hardware and Pete from Gem engines and reconditioning done the rest they were pretty shagged and in hindsight maybe should have brought new ones but these are like brand now as well.
Cost was $ 475 per head to machine , fit hardened seats , fit bronze bushings for the valve stems and assemble plus $ 300 i paid for the valves , comp cam springs retainers and locks.

Looking good, Shane. How much more time do you think you have in it?

67fasty.sm · « **Reply #79 on:** March 10, 2014, 01:37:46 pm »

Thanks Ash, umm not really sure more than likely some time late in the spring! would be great to have it to drive around in for next summer.
Cash is the killer just don't have enough to go round and what about yours ?

For the first time in a long time I've got a little bit of cash but no time. Always one or the other and never both.

I brought some new replacement body parts last week so if I can spare a day next week, I'll be getting some more done.

It'd be nice to have my underside, inside, engine bay and driveline done by spring as well. That way when it warms up again and I can focus on getting some colour down on the outside.

Ha thats amazing i have a couple boxes parts coming tomorrow hopefully i've been selling some of my old toys on ebay to get some extra $, all the gear is for under the dash they are the final parts to finish off there so then i can fit all the seats in .
sounds like were on similar time lines .
Hope you get a fair bit done next week then its good when things move forward !

Ash · « **Reply #82 on:** March 10, 2014, 09:47:18 pm »

Good old ebay, I have no idea where I'd be without it! It pays for all of my cars. Buy this, sell that, it all evens out in the end. Well... perhaps I do a bit more buying than I should but it's all good.

Not too much has happened since the last update had to build a sundeck !

Had a laugh to myself over the last few days thinking about the deck you had to build instead of working on the stang. I just had to do the same.

Two of my side kicks helped me throughout. One was very proud of her work, that's my daughter. The other, just had her nose and bum in the way the whole time.

HAHA thats awesome Ash ! cant believe it, how cool

i am sure your workers were a great help.

Come on Ash get that dog some safety boots mate

Ash · « **Reply #86 on:** July 15, 2014, 01:04:16 am »

She'd only wait until I was gone and eat them. She'd then look at me as if someone else did it. Talk about way too smart for her own good and sneaky about it. Terrific family dog though.

67fasty.sm · « **Reply #87 on:** July 31, 2014, 08:34:09 pm »

I thought I better post up the agonizingly slow progress with the beast , too many family drama's sucking too much time and money but still have managed to still move forward .
I now have working lights all round plus all the other electrics ,yes ! , front bumper , windscreen trim , and interior woohoo!
I havent wet rubbed the bonnet yet as it still has to come off when i can get the motor and auto built , in case i damage it .
There's alittle trick question in one of the pic's dont know if people will pick it up was done on purpose .

Ash · « **Reply #88 on:** July 31, 2014, 08:39:57 pm »

I think I got it. Your work bench is actually a rolled out piece of carpet underlay?

67fasty.sm · « **Reply #89 on:** August 01, 2014, 08:19:04 pm »

hehe ash , close nah not really , all right i give in i better tell you .
have a close look at my bucket seats 67 upholstery on 68 seats , it didnt work very well , its ok but not as good i had hoped it would be .
the reason i liked the locked seat back opposed to the free flopping 67 model , but didnt want to put 68 upholstery in a 67 tahdah stupid i know .

I think that's neat. I have a 68 and didn't pick it. I actually retro-fitted a 67 rear virw mirror because I couldn't get the original to stay stick on my windscreen. No-one has picked it yet, either.
Cheers, Ron B

Well i have made some more progress over the last few months the motor has been fully rebuilt top to bottom , put in a nice little comps cam fairly mild, comp springs,etc
also had the my c4 fully rebuilt as well and on the weekend we dropped the lot into stang also fitted a big block radiator to help with the cooling

was all in a few hours hardly any skun knuckles so we smashed down more than few ales to celebrate.

last night finished fitting the rest of grille , pretty happy with the outcome , plan to finish up the wiring next week i am actually starting to get a bit pumped its been over 4 years .
