Cool, thanks!

Very nice! Did you stage the coordination there?

Nope! Just got lucky she wore red that day!

Falcon, how's the little red coupe doing for ya??

It's doing great but Im thinking of putting it up for sale since we are putting our house on the market. We're probably going to move to an apartment or a small rental place while we build a place so I'm thinking of how Im going to store all my stuff in the meantime.

We are having the builder concentrate on the shop first so we can start moving things in. In the meantime we are moving things into a storage unit near the new house.

Jack.

That's what we're thinking, too, Jack.

Normally we install the Sway Bar Link bolts with the threads up. Reason being that they might ground out, bent , and or booger the threads and ruin any chance of removing 'em intact. But be sure to check running clearance through full range of movement.....RooDog

RE: Post #411, Hydraulic Clutch.....
Fellas....
On my Harley the rear calliper sets higher than its master cylinder, no residual pressure valve, and no problems. Been that way for over 20 years.....RooDog

Most oem type master cylinders have internal residual valves

Mine ended up mounting about the same level as the slave; no issues. Clutch has a nice feel to it although the original pedal assembly has about three times as much travel as the Wilwood cylinder needs. It bottoms out before the clutch pedal is 1/3 of the way down. But it was pretty much just an issue of learning how to drive it the way it is; clutch works great but just has a short throw.

I did try to run the car through ebay and wasn't happy at all with the final bid so it looks like it's going to be in my stable for a while to come. Im hoping to wrap up a few incidentals over the winter and hit the Hot Rod Power Tour next summer with it.

You could change the travel by moving the cylinder linkage up the pedal. Just a thought. That is a fun car

Now that my 48 is actually running, I'm going to knock out a few things on the 49 before spring gets here. After a long search online I was able to get all of the missing chrome trim. Here's the hood ornament, PLYMOUTH letters and hood trim. Looks much better with it on. I also figured out that my fuel gauge had a bad ground which is why it never worked right so that's fixed, too. More to come later; the goal is to have it ready to hit part of the Hot Rod Power Tour in June.

It's gettin' better all the time! NICE

It looks great and I like your gauge bezel too! Keep us informed how you like those dolphin gauges. I almost baught a set for my 40, but saw all the bad reviews from guys with 67-72 chevy trucks. I guess they had a bad issue with the lights not working or something? The trim looks great too!
