i think i saw you in parsons yesterday.

 

[J.Cagle]

Yep, I saw you in the pepsi truck! Car is almost done now. I got the louver stuck in yesterday and almost got done with the brakes. Got to the drivers rear caliper to find it was locked up too. No Orielly's or other parts store could get one before wednesday. So I am making a trip to wichita to pick one up. After today the thig should be completely done!

And post pictures when it's completely done man!

My rear brakes were smoked b/c of the stupid ebrake cable hanging up. (if anyone knows of a fix for it please let me know. I just left it unhooked for now)

Smoked caliper. Ever burnt most the paint off

Had to buy one new rotor and have the rest turned. Painted them while I was at it to keep the rusty edges away for a while.

A front all put back together. Went ahead and painted the braces black instead of red like the calipers. Looks better that way now.

This is how I was driving it while waiting for the louvers to come in. Next best thing,lol

Louvers in. Very easy to install

Not quite done yet. Still need to reinstall the rear interior panels and do one major detail job on it. I also picked up a new Pioneer touch screen head unit today. That'll be the next project, and probaly the last for a while, but we'll see

Getting closer to that old fast back look I've been going for. Next thing I think I need to do is ditch the 20" chrome wheels. Some in an 18" maybe that looks retro, but still has a modern touch. who knows if Ill ever find anything I like much.

Go with anthracite Bullitt 18's with a retro center cap like I did. Got lots of compliments on them.

My car came with anthracite bullits but in 17's. I really want a set of the 18" ones from OE wheel company. But, trying to sell 20s is next to impossibe.

Yeah, I do. I still need to get my MT et streets mounted up on 2 of my stock wheels tho.


Thanks for all the compliments guys!! It means alot after the amount of hours put into this thing

Man, your car looks really good! I thought your own taped up louver was pretty funny though.

 

[J.Cagle]

The pics you've been waiting for!!

Sorry for so many pics that look the same. I tried several diferent setting on my camera in hopes to catch the color good. These pics still don't do the color justice. Plus the car is dirty. Had a show today, and drove it over an hour back home and caught alot of bugs. Whatcha think?

Car looks great, nice work!

 

[psumustang]
