Tailpipes – The Movie #ProjectSportsRoof #SR73

When I added the Delta 45’s  to #ProjectSportRoof – #SR73, the tailpipes came up short.  I’m not sure why that happened  and I’m not sure why I didn’t notice it.  But hey it gave me a quick project while I’m on our fall break.

I was going to polish up the ends but I’m going to shop for some chrome ends.   Drop Me some suggestions.

Here is the video:

#ProjectSportsRoof – In the Beginning – Throwback

I was chatting with someone online about cars and I recalled driving home with my first Mustang project car.  It was a 1970 Coupe, not fastback, or Mach I, not even a Grande. You can still find so of the work on that car here on my blog.   I purchased the car in Phx, Az. from a lady who got the car from her mom. Her mom was the first owner.  It was 6 cylinder (250) with a/c and in pretty good shape.  I remember driving it down the freeway not knowing much about it mechanically and I didn’t want to temp fate by turning on the a/c, just needed it to make back to Tucson.   I wish I had recorded that drive, but it would not have been comparable to the ride home in #ProjectSportsRoof.  Now that one I did record.

So, I thought I’d put together a quick video showing the drive home and toss some before pics and a  “now’ video snippet.  Here ya go!


Notice I didn’t tout the “now’ snippet as the “after” because it’s not complete….then again, in the world of project cars, is there ever really and “Final” after?

I think not.

#ProjectSportsRoof – Gas Leak and What’s Next

Temps weren’t in the triple digits this morning so I thought I’d fire up the Stang (#ProjectSportRoof) and runner down the main drag a bit.   As I started her up and let her idle a bit and wrapped up the car covers I noticed a dripping underneath.

Average Guys Car Restoration – Product Review – Olsa Tools Magnetic Socket Holders.

I’ve been driving #ProjectSportRoof a lot but there’s still work to do, but I have a back log of products that I need to review.  So the next few post will be dedicated to testing out some of the those items, include other helpful tool organizers  and a few products for detailing your car.

Olsa is a Canadian company that has their tools and products made in Taiwan and tested in auto shops in Canada.

I saw the ad for the Magnetic Socket Holders and purchased them, because my case for my socket set, well over 20 years old has final given up (not with out a fight) the ghost.

Here’s the video:

#ProjectSportsRoof – Leaf Spring Test Drive.

Thanks for following along.

After finishing up what was a 9 hour day of just leaf spring work, I took a couple days off to recover (not as young as I use to be) and now it’s time to see if there’s any improvement in handling and ride with #ProjectSportsRoof.  Oh…O.K.  and to see if any ‘parts’ fall off.  So I took the 73 Stang out for a walk.

Check it out:

 


Successful upgrade!!!

Thanks for stopping by.
