Indeed, chasing gremlins at this point. A bit stressful to discern normal break in noises vs something that isn't right. Shook a big gremlin out this morning. Rear brakes. I won't bore everyone with the details. All good now. Nice cool morning this morning, we took it out for a rotor seasoning...

Semper Fi Brother.

Have been taking it on shake down drives for the past couple of days. 35 miles on the odo at this point. A few subtle "whirrs" which I attribute to tranny, diff and brakes all getting to know each other. The tank was half full of 91 pump gas. I dumped 5 gallons of 110 VP in it and went to a...

Got it all lined out today. Drives nice. Hard to find 'ol boys that aren't afraid of these cars these days. An old friend of mine did it. He didn't even charge me for my "help"!!

Wish we could post videos like we used to but I get the reason. Shake down drives today. Several short loops around the cul-de-sac getting the T-Bars dialed in to where the front's weren't rubbing. Then a couple of laps around the neighborhood produced some rattling in the CalTracs as the mono...

BTW, if anyone needs a gently used set of 68 Road Runner pearl white vinyl, I'll let it go for cheap. :lol:

Thanks RC, I think I'm just old and weaker. I was unsure if that bow was was natural or not. It's been a while since the interior was in. I'll give it a try. I also noticed that the driver side front seat back is a little tweaked as well. Too many hard launches back in the day I suppose. I'll...

Pushing hard to get the interior in this weekend. It's been a bit since I had to play with the rear seat in this car but I don't remember it being the hard @ssed bitch that was today. Maybe I'm just old and week these days. I had to resort to the 'ol back in the door jamb, left foot low, right...

If I crash his thing that hard I don't want to be alive to see the wreckage anyway. :)

I used the Borgeson on my 68. I simply collapsed the main shaft then re-pinned it. No cutting.

Slogging away here on interior. The décor pearl white interior on this car has presented some issues as it is fairly rare. No demand hence proper repo parts are not available. My youngest son and I (72 B5 Duster) will show side by side at the Wyo Tech show June 1. I have a month left to get...

I use one of those heavy gold staples that come on parts boxes. Straighten one out and shove it in there. Study it. You'll see what I mean.

Thanks Frank. All of this is VooDoo to me. Your input is invaluable.

Unfortunately I don't have my original fender tag. One screw fell out of it many years ago. I took the other one out and put the tag in a safe place. Can't remember where that safe place is unfortunately. I do have the build sheet. According to it in the shipping order block, (I believe that...

Thanks Frank, the ash tray is a slider. Not familiar the acronym SPD? It's an LA plant car. It's obvious by some of the welds on this car they were smoking dope on the job back then. I have crawled over every square inch of this car multiple times. By and large they did a pretty good job on...

The remaining interior parts will show up this week / early next week. Good to be done with the sound deadener. What a pain in the @ss. Probably 50 pounds over the entire car. Roof, trunk, inside the doors, firewall, floor. Popped the door mirror on so I could button up the moisture barrier on...

It doesn't look as bad on the car as it did on the bench. I'm a picky bastard. 10 footer maybe. See pics above.

Thanks Elk, not to late to swap them out. They look cleaner too. Can they be spread over the pipe without pulling the joint apart?

Had to ditch the driveshaft loop. Too bad. Nice piece but it wouldn't fit with TTi X Pipe. It was a "nice to have" not a "need to have". Just a bit of extra protection. I almost pole vaulted a car back in the day. Scary stuff. Maybe I'm just paranoid in my old age. This car will never see the...
