sounds like it will be a great daily!

i know theres a still a boat load of work, but im excited for this build.


lol, you just got home, and have done a ton of work to that thing. That poor wife of yours, haha

 

wow that car has a ways to go. good luck and welcome back.

 

thats gonna be a fun one to look back on when your done.

 

Lol more like poor me, I don't sleep very much since I am on leave. I stay up late to work on the car and get up with the kids in the morning. But since I work on it more at night than anytime its hard to do the work that needs to be done, the frame. I try not to be too loud with the my oldest girl and my garage share a wall. I will try to get to some more of the welds down the fender aprons tonight though.

Thanks to everyone reading and giving support!

Oh yea.........
GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well it is 2:30 in the morning and I am about to go to bed. I got a few things started/accomplished tonight.

Bolted down the timing chain for the last time.
Armor All'd my steering wheel and E-brake handle.
Cleaned out the interior a little.
Started running the main body harness.
Cleaned up the firewall some.
Removed the cruise control stuff, the throttle cable, and vacuum solenoid junk.
Marked where I am going to cut my frame apart and what welds need to be removed.

Next on my list:
Degrease the motor and prep for painting
Remove carpet for the wife to attack it with the carpet cleaner.
Get under the car and degrease the body by hand.
Remove gas tank to remove old gas and fuel pump to run line for carb.

 

how are you planning on doing the lines for the carb as in where the regulator and pump will be and which parts are you planning on using?

 

In the tank I am going to do like I did my 83 and just replace the pump with a rubber hose of the same length. At the motor end I am just going to use the stock metal lines but I am going to cut off the ends of them and flare them out. Then just shove a rubber hose on it and run those to the pump. I am using a fuel pump with a return on it so I will be using both lines.

 

Make sure you get the 94-95 spindles. The 96+ not only have the wider wheel base from the ABS hardware... but they have a different steering arm.

The steering arm causes massive bump steer when using with a stock fox steering rig. Gotta move the rack if you want to use the 96+ spindles without having issue.

94-95 is gravy though.

Colts fail.

 

Yup, the Colts definitely choked again. I plan on getting some....as long as I can find them lol. Those along with the 99+ calipers so that I have dual piston calipers

 

I think the 93+ cobras all had twin piston PBR's? Idk for sure.
