I will start a new post since this car is history. I did get some information from the guy in Syracuse who bought the car from me. Pictures are looking great and he is showing it. I am very much...

Don, the part is aluminum and they did a great job of polishing it. Larry

While Carol and I were in Tucson, I had an extra rear trim piece polished. The one on my car was not looking great. I finished applying pin striping tape and then clear coated it. It is now installed...

I replaced the one broken stud, started it up. No noise is good noise. I will be taking it out for a drive tomorrow if it isn't raining.
I will be replacing all the studs when I get the set that...

Thought you all might be interested in this correspondence between myself and Air Flow Research. If this works out the way the representative tells me, I will be more than happy. Larry

After talking to a Ford racing engine builder I am going to stick with 3/8 studs and have ARP new ones ordered. The builder states he uses 3/8 studs and gets over 7000RPM and never broke one. He...

I went to AFR's website and found an interesting footnote about their AFR 185's. So, I am going to replace all the studs and will have to replace all the roller rockers to 7/16 also. Poopers. Larry ...

The studs came pre-installed on the AFR 185 heads. I don't think it was a stud problem as much as it was operator error. The nut on that stud had backed off almost 1/4". I think the rocker just...

As I mentioned in the All Ford Show post, I couldn't make it because something let loose in my engine. Heard a good loud pop, then started stuttering a little. Made enough noise when running that I...

Still haven't finished the 9" rear end installation. Sitting at home with a sore throat, fever, headaches and feeling like crap.
Friends asked me to post some pics of my car on facebook. Here is...

Okay, so now I have no reason to not get the whip cracking. Carol just showed me old pictures showing I started my car in 2007. Wow. 10 whole years of this. My goodness, time is flying.
Just went...

I saw on somebodies post that they couldn't believe how long they've been working on their car. So, I went back to my posts and realized that I started my car 9 years ago. Amazing, but I would have...

I bought the system several years back before I started on the Falcon. I had a ski boat trailer that needed new paint. Went to Marysville to get the parts powder coated. Had six long parts and they...

Powder coated the rear end housing yesterday and spent the whole morning cleaning up the mess. Here are a few pictures.

I found this picture on the internet of my car at this years Hot August Nights. MY brothers 64 Fairlane is right behind me so this is on the main street of Reno. Larry...

Here are a couple of pics from the Reno trip. I still am trying to get the pictures off my wifes Kindle to the computer so more to come I hope. The Fairlane in the 3rd pic is my brothers. The Falcon...

Here is a picture of my brothers 64 Thunderbolt clone and it's ready to take to Reno. Larry

Gene, that is exactly what I tried to do. Two major issues with it. One the thickness of the filter would not allow it to sit down inside the grove area so I trimmed off that to make it somewhat...

Kenny, I haven't found anything that is thinner and the same size periphery. I checked with K&N and other manufacturers but no luck so far.

I am sure there are other type of air cleaners that will...

Pat, I am still looking for a thinner air cleaner element. I haven't given up and like the look of this cleaner so will figure something out.
As far as the yellow wires, it is funny because my...

Just installed my new "347" emblems in place of the "302's" that I had before. Never did like them. Now if anyone needs some perfect condition 302 emblems, they are for sale. $10 a piece.
I tackled...

Installed the new master cylinder today and made new brake lines. It looks better than before, also now have the backing plate behind the booster chromed instead of painted black so maybe that helps....

At least that way I don't have to worry about hood clearances.

I machined 3/4" off the base section and I can take 1/4" from inside the upper section. That would mean I need an element about 3/4" shorter.
I am trying to get it back on the road before I...

Finished installing the fuel lines, fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure gauge. They look okay I think.
The air cleaner is just sitting on the carbs. It's a little too tall and still looking...
