My long awaited build... (I don't think 56k exist anymore) So lots of pics...

[Boozshey]

Some engine shots with better light. I don't have the CF Rad Cover on yet. I have to change out my hood pins so there was no point in putting it on twice...

Headlight mod started and finished, along with chin (needs paint), Grille and actual '69 emblem...

Beautiful work!! I did a similar job, once using BMW projectors. Good job!


Do those not have the clear cover on them?

 

[Boozshey]

Nope... All open... Old skool styl'n

 

[Boozshey]

I don't know if the rad extension cover the top of the headlights. But I know that I wouldn't do this mod if they don't. My rad cover covers the top of my headlights so you don't see all the crap...

 

[HOLYWD]

Turned out great man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ArizonaGT]

SHIT yeah!

I know all about this vacuum issue. Caused me real problems at stop light..4 ways...! Let me kow if you need help there..

 

[Boozshey]

So far the brakes have been working good. I don't see any problems there... But I am curious to know how you solved it?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Nice...good pic for pic action going on with the headlights.

 

[Boozshey]

Well no luck on the Dyno today...

Gonna pull the valve covers and check a couple wiring issues... I don't think it's a wiring issue, even though my wires are moved, I double checked every connection and it's continuity to it's source. So something may be wrong with the valve train...

that sucks....maybe the cam is out of time?

 

[Boozshey]

Don't think it's that, cause I used the wedge and checked 4 times that it was tight and that nothing would fall past the wedge before I removed the phaser. I also marked the phaser and chain in 2 spots and since the cams only fit on the phaser one way and the marks were realigned properly... who knows... he was thinking a broken spring or a follower not seated right. So we will see...

I also have to check and make sure the polarity on the crank sensor is right. I believe the wires to be correct. One because I don't think that's one of the wires I messed with. and Two, I check all wires continuity from end to end... But I guess stranger things have happened.

Sounds awesome and looks great! As for the headlights, what made you try that? Def pretty cool though! I have never seen this done before.

 

[Boozshey]

The old mustangs had open headlights like that. I have wanted to do it since I first got the car, just never got around to doing it.

I don't think I will have the car there with the given problems. I will be taking it apart tonight but since it won't be tuned for another couple weeks, the car will be down...

Got any pics?

Please post your pics in another thread or in a PM...

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Car still not running right boozshey?

 

[Boozshey]

Nah, big problems. Possibly something in the valve train. Gotta pull the covers off check for broken springs, or unseated follower... Check crank shaft position sensor... then go from there.
I did lay down an impressive 190hp though... HAHAHAHAHA
