well, after on and off days of working and struggling, i deicded to just swap out my oil pan with the chrome one given to me when i bought the car, i got it on with all the gaskets and seals and also swapped the oil pump.

so today i switched the oil pump, oil filter, got the timing cover on, got new oil pan on, got new water pump on

and then it was 1am. i cannot wait to hit it again tomarrow morning, im going to try at least get the radiator in. fan w/ shroud, harmonic balancer and pulley, and carberator. then im going to need fluids and belts. oooo its soo close to running

o yea, the new oil pan was a PITA, it is a ford racing one and it has some kinda splash guard at the bottom and it wouldnt fit up correctly with the oil pump so i had to finagle and bang it in a little just to clear the oil pump

 

good use of the word finagle

 

lol but seriously, i wish i had a camera[>:]

 

sounds like its close...i remember firing the 65 for the first time after the resto.



good feeling.

 

i cant wait i am trying to get her running and painted before summer

 

sorry to hijack for a sec, but how do you get the custom member status under your name? (broken tranny member)

 

well when OT posts counted for the short couple of months, i hit 3000 and made an OT thread about hitting 3000, and the HC changed it to broken tranny member, i like it[8D]

 

lol, nice

 

ya i had 500 something then they deleted all ot posts[:@] always wanted the "its emberglo damnit! memeber"

actually its probably for the best. it kinda pulls the vail off some of the ppl that u thought knew a lot about stangs.......such as me ahaha

but again back to your 69....random but....

i know how u feel when u wanna get out their and get pics. the funny thing is not a soul will see the modifications but you are still gonna feel like a million $ when u pull out. that the great thing about old mustangs
