    Car is back home and looking great. It's at the final ride height and I'm glad I installed the power lift kit, damn it's low! Interesting thing happened on the way home. I turned in to my neighborhood and it stopped running. The way it sounded it was like turning off the key. I thought I...

    Thanks for asking John. All my extended family is doing well, all dry. So much better than many in the Houston area. All the cars stayed dry this past week also. Don

    We all like pictures and attached is J8 showing the axle angle with a T44 and FE. They all have something more then perfect. I'm going to make what I have work. D..........

    I wanted to use off the self parts as much as possible like your original plans for your T44R. If I had gone the T44 route from your numbers I would have ended up with that 1"+ lower drive shaft connection point thus reducing my angle greatly. I think you finished that T44R project correct...

    Rod, Jac and Mark all great ideas. I am running a vent off the top of my radiator to the expansion tank and because I'm running an electric water pump I see a full stream when I switch the pump on. Mark you are right on with the heat capacity of water. Pure water is best but you need some...

    I should share some of the issues after driving the car a few miles. It may help the next guy. After driving the car to the alignment shop, about 12 miles, both CV boots on the right half shaft are off, see pictures. The axle angle is about 23 deg. at full drop and about 18 at normal drive...

    Mike & Randy, YES it's a tech term to direct cold air to the carbs. The Plexi air box was something used by the Holman Moody team in 1967. It was a nice touch and was copied on the 7 continuation cars Mike T. built. I was lucky to find a spare from the guy who supplied the continuation cars...

    Thanks Mike, I have done the best I can do with my skill level. The car is legal with current tags and new tires are mounted, balance and installed. The AVON's just fit the car better. I have attached pictures. Tomorrow I drop the car off at the alignment shop which they say I can pick it up...

    The GT is now drive-able and in fact I went to the inspection station Saturday and she passed. Next step is the courthouse to renew the tags. Because it was at the body shop for so long the tags expired before I could get it re-inspected. No big deal just got to make the trip to talk with my...

    <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> With Father’s Day weekend I had planned on installing the engine but thinking once I install the “Lump” it will be hard working around it. I worked on those little things like...

    Retrieved the GT from the body shop late Friday afternoon and being a long weekend started final assembly early Saturday morning. Really enjoying this part of the build. The paint looks better in person and because it's a metallic it really pops in the direct sun light. I have learned a lot...
