[64f100sixcylinder]

It looks like you are making good progress. Nice work

[therealjoeshmoe]

ok i decided to go out and swap the backing plates and wheel cylinders, got it all swaped out and put back together and low and behold i put the dang wheel cylinders on the wrong side again!! so i guess third time is a charm.....

[therealjoeshmoe]

[therealjoeshmoe]

cleaned up the motor a little got it ready to paint


got it painted ford blue and yes i painted my streetmaster edelbrock intake lol i like it!



got the tranny all bolted up..


motor is in!! yay! lol



headers fit really good!



another 352 i got for my rat rod project after i get my 65 done!

[6ftdwn57]

I may have missed it, but what headers are those? Looks like you didnt have any problem with clearance issues on the starter, etc.

[therealjoeshmoe]

oh they are close to the starter alright.. im thinking about putting the stock manifolds back on.. lol not sure what brand headers they are but they do fit really well.. im just afraid its gonna heat my starter up and kill it.. well guess i could always push start it... lol

[therealjoeshmoe]

ok i went ahead and put the stock manifolds back on, gonna save the headers for a future project.. and got my motor al put together and ryno'ed my core support all while battling bronchitis this weekend.. what fun but i was gonna get something accomplished... so while yall goons were out playing this weekend i was getting stuff done lol

[JRANGER]

Awesome Build!!! I cant wait to get going on my 66 and looking over your build gave me a better idea of what im going to have to do with my cab.

[Pack Rat]

For what it is worth. We put a smaller high torque starter on my sons big block cougar with no room by starter. Made a huge difference. Even with the battery in the trunk and loong battery cables we were able to advance the timing five degrees with no kick back hot,

[therealjoeshmoe]

well i checked out the fender alignment with all the new bushings and i mudt say i was pleased. also got my clutch pivot all rebuilt waiting on a new clutch rod and bushings from lmc now..

[therealjoeshmoe]

well got some goodies for my birthday sunday.. got a new chrome dash bezel and a new clutch rod and bushings, i was pretty happy! lol



i got a bunch of junk bolts and stuff from work and there were two of these in a bag with some bolts... i have no clue what they really are but they fit my gas tank neck perfectly! lol

[therealjoeshmoe]

got my new clutch rod and bushings from Mac's antique parts.. i must say they were very great to deal with and they take pay pal ... got the parts 3 days from the day i ordered them... now just have to get the oil leak fixed and the new I beams installed and i can install.. lol i need a check list

[therealjoeshmoe]

ok slixtyfive i guess you were right on the i beams, i still dont understand how they were working before.. but i got the driverside to sit right but the passenger side is way off.. anyway i found a good set of un bent stock beams ive got to sand blast prime and ryno, and replace the bushings.. well i guess in the long run it will be worth it!

NO I TOLD YOU SO's lol

[slixtyfive]

Definitely not (on the 'I told ya so'). Just looking out for each other and trying to help here!

Keep up the good work and making progress.

[therealjoeshmoe]

well got my 2nd set of I-beams (and hopefully my last) all cleaned up and I installed new pivot bushings from moog.. man all i can say is i was sure glad i bought a new air chisel.. it peeled them baby's right out.. used my 20 ton press to push the news ones right in.. very easy.. got the beams primed and bedliner sprayed.. little bit at a time... hopefully next weekend ill have them put in the truck..

[therealjoeshmoe]

HERES A COMPARISON BEFORE AND AFTER..
