Welcome Phil. Looking forward to seeing your build. Frankly a bit jealous, as a retired guy, you will be in heaven with being able to work on your car as desired. Congrats on the start of your journey.

Re: Dutton's Build Thread Dutton, Fantastic. She will look great. I too admire that color / car when at Fran's. Looks great.........maybe updates a little more often though....;) OK, so not just when a piece of trim is mounted, but more than once a year. If not, your next update won't be...

Thanks guys. Reeaaallly close Craig. Just some tid bits left...carpet, finish buffing, etc etc Chuck, admittedly....it will indeed be a tough one to let go. I find myself just standing in the shop staring at it. :wideeyed: She's just so damn cool looking.

Oh..man I love that color combo.:thumbsup: Did the Daytona in the same colors.... Can't wait to see it come together.

Hi Cliff, My two cents... Roller rockers are certainly a good idea. I pretty much agree with all of Jay's comments. I've used the FMS rockers (aka Crane) and have been pleased Ratio decision is really about the math and cam choice. Are you changing your cam...... what cam options do I...

I Had the Mach I on track on Sunday, so took advantage of the photo op with the 40.... Thought I'd share.

Chuck...Ryan, As always, beautiful job.

Tom, Fantastic job. I especially like the door keepers. Great idea.

Congratulations Jay...:chug: Enjoy your build. BTW... I agree with Mesa.... cheater... :D;) Just kiddin.... still plenty for you to do. Have fun.

Thanks...... I used the same paint as for the car, so it was base coat black with clear. I wet sanded and buffed out the black just as with the balance of the car.

Hi Chuck, Nope...plan to leave it exactly as is. That is why I circled back on the paint work. Bottom line: I didn't plan ahead well enough, and there was only one way to "fix" it that I would be satisfied with.

Finished the head light buckets this weekend. Ultimately decided that there was only one way that I could do it that I would be OK with. So, jumped in prepped, masked and painted the bucket lips. Took all weekend, but I can feel good about the result, and won't regret the end appearance...

I'm running 145 mains w/ F11 tubes. Don't recall the rest of the numbers....would have to look em up. Your cubes are bigger than mine, but I'm running some big compression with high dome pistons. I too am running 3.5psi fuel.

Hi John, IMO: Opening the chokes up is a good first step for sure. Wouldn't be surprised if you end up dropping the jets down and changing the emulsion tubes also. With the current combo, I'm not surprised your running black plugs, would be surprised if they were fouling too.

Congrats Ron. She's a beauty. I like em... for what it's worth. Plus.....CJ 4 speed Torinos aren't exactly a dime a dozen. Yep...she's a keeper. Both the CJ and the wife. I'm fortunate enough to have one of those too (car guy wife that is, not the CJ.. :-)

Looking great boys. Yep....I'm liking the blacked out wheels too. Well....one things for sure....running those tires, there would seem no chance of ever braking "that" transaxle...:laugh:

Chuck, I absolutely agree with Molleur, lacquer thinner and acetone will bleed under the tape line. I would strongly not suggest trying this. I still say best approach is sand blasting. A small project like that can be done with a little hand held jobbie that you can get at Craftsman or...

Yes, It is how the originals were....

Hi Simon, Ahhhh...... you found it. I spent 30 minutes looking for that post Sat night. Still don't know how to search for stuff .... I have 4.0" from the bottom of my vertical legs to the tanks. I had originally trimming the lip flush at the bottoms, so the vertical legs were mated tight to...
