Thanks for the decal, Joe Sharp. That was the finishing touch. My "coup de foudre".

Very nice, have you fired it off yet??

Tease! Ethan at least posted a video

Yea, it fired right up. Did the cam burn in and a few jogs around the hood. It will eat my '76 alive.


Ethan had something to post. His is a monster, I'm sure. I will do a video after the front end parts are installed and the vibration is dampened. The ball joints and tie rods are shot and the rotors are about .005" under min spec; we'll see. Much to do before it is = to overall condition of the '76. It is a damned good rust and wreck free pallet with which to work, however.

The engine looks great Kent. I used the same color I think. Ford red right?

Yup, mine's a monster no doubt. I'm sure your 2056 has some serious get up too Kent. Let me know if you need any help wrenching to get it up to spec for a dawn patrol run!

Speaking of that, is there one planned for soon? I miss our early morning drives..
