So did I. I’m also using them for my Superbird and it’s matching trailer.

Finally got to get on a quarter mile track

The goal was to test in November but it’s not looking like we’ll hit that date with everything else going on. If we could get it ready by December, we can test in Florida in January.

A little more progress this weekend. We painted the underside of the trunk lid and the trunk jamb. I wanted to install the trunk seal and the lid prior to final paint so I didn’t have to try and line it up with finished paint as it’s a tight fit.

What brand trunk seal did you use? It looks like there’s several available from $29 to $130. Any differences that you are aware of?

More primer pictures. This is the 2K

Final filler detail work. Panel gaps are how I like them. You see lots of variations there, especially with restored and over restored show ponies.

Fenders are coming along… can’t wait to get color on them.

It’s unfortunate when things like this happen for sure. Lots of finger pointing and uncertainty. All we can do is learn and move on.

As discussed in multiple other cam threads, everyone blames the parts but never look for the root cause. Valve spring pressure and rate, coil bind, pushrod length, size, material and wall thickness, bore clearance and oiling among other things all factor into the equation. I’ve yet to experience...

DVW has it correct. Your block was honed with a torque plate. Depending on the gasket used with it, and the blocks cylinder wall and deck thickness, you’ll see quite a bit of bore distortion when they’re bolted on. The bore is perfectly straight once done, but distorts back when the plate is...

No tail light Wednesday

Grab them with a pair of pliers and turn them 90 degrees.

Yes, the plan is to definitely add a wing to the trailer as well.

After clear coat

Yep. Petty Blue. Should go great with its Limelight stable mate.
