I used a product like this in my 73 Muscle Rat. Inside stays cool even at 110° in direct sun. Used it on the floors and roof...

I could have saved myself a lot of time and a little money fitting the steering column shaft to the rack. I was trying to fit a third u joint and bearing to get around the headers. I had the column in place but not fully secured. I noticed that it was not straight with the steering wheel where...

The trans mount is mocked up. I am going to hold off on welding it together till I have the correct engine adpter plate. Using my home made spacers for mock up, the trans is probably not at the correct orientation. I am using the original trans isolator body with poly isolator rather then...

Yes and yes. They are Indy heads, and the headers were custom made.

Halo roof? I think that is what they called it.

The Hemi is in the engine compartment. Has a fitment issue. Passenger side head and valve cover hitting the shock tower. Cut away the hump on the tower and plated it. The steering shaft also has problems. The big 2 1/4" tube header on that side is in the way. No direct line from steering...

Ran in to a problem. Called JVX Racing for a big block to small block adpter plate. Find out he is having health issues and wont be shipping for a while. I need to get the engine and trans bolted together and in the car to modify the tunnel. So I made some 1/2" plates to temporarily hang the...

I started putting my rear QA1 4 link with a Dana axle in today. I am having an issue with the u bolts for the trailing arm brackets. The bracket wants to be very close to the and of the axle housing. The dana axle tube gets larger there. That one U bolt needs to be a little larger. Probably...

Time for more pictures. The frame stiffenening kit is done, all welded in. I started on the new suspension. QA1 front and rear. Double adjustable coil overs, tubular k frame, 4 link in the back. The front is pretty much mocked in where it needs to be. I need to take the springs off the coil...

Back in the day station wagons were the preferred tow vehicles for everything.

Start low and creep up. Base timing is not so criticle, all in extremely criticle. Can you hear the engine over the exhaust? Spark knock can be heard if the exhaust is not too loud. I would start on the conservavtive side around 30° all in to begin with and see how the engine performs. step up a...

Picking it up from the blaster shop.

I was in Indiana a few months ago so I stopped in at Cope Racing. He thinks my issue may be in the governor. This trans was behind a high reving Gen 2 Hemi and may have a governor or springs in it that shifts at higher rpm. He sells them. Being summer in Arizona I stopped driving the car, out if...

The Fender braces are a jigsaw puzzle with no picture to follow. There are three small peices that get welded in to the shock tower and tie in with the fneder brace. I think this is how they go. My best guess is to fit the big brace first, clamp it in place, then fit and weld in the shock tower...

Torque boxes, subframe connectors, and right fender brace are done.

I am thinking of having my trans and engine oil coolers mounted horizontally under the car somewhere with electric fans on them. I want this car to work in the Arizona summer 110° heat and AC on. We sometimes go to weekend car shows at higher elevation in the summer. It would be nice to drive...

I am no welder by any stretch of the imagination. But they are deep enough to stay put. Got the torque boxes welded in and started on the subframe connectors. Lots of cutting and grinding to get this far enough forward and high enough to the floor for a good weld. Still have some large gaps...

In my 73 I am using the factory original AC/heater box. Firewall forward, I got a kit from Bouchilan Performance. Sanden compressor and mounting brackets, filter dryer, freeze switch, condensor coil, and all fittings and hoses. It is an r134 system and blows ice cold in 110° heat. They key to...

Core support cut. Took 2" out of the left side, welded back in. Now the 72 has a 28" 73/74 style radiator.

I like those better.
