I was going to say that you're making it look to easy Bobby! But, like me, 2 steps forward and one step back! :LOL::LOL:Quote:

Thanks guys this is more inspiration . Been a long 2 1/2 years getting here working on the Stang too .
Tonight finished the other side and placed the shocks in .
I also ordered the timing set from summit but it is a comp cams , Once I figure out this degree stuff the gear set allows for different settings . I have a 268H 351 grind to place in this 302 .

Sure is lookin good :toocool:
Got the other door jamb done in 80 grit, now time to start sanding in 180 and filling little imperfections, damn it takes along time, grass to mow, kids to raise, work, just not enough time to get it all done :LOL:

Well after 2 attempts I finally got the right timing gear set , all my fault have a 302 block and a 351 ground cam . The cam sprockets are different . So tonight I added a couple more pieces that are permanently sealed .
Now if the engine sounds like this with the 268H comp cam I will be tickled and pickled :eek: '
This is a you tube of the cam sound supposedly . I have heard so many different variations to it.

They are a bit tatty,arent they??Probably keep you awake on a long night drive though...:D
Oh yeah I sat in the back and it's springy , And a little noisy also .
Damn you even had the seats, I am jealous :LOL:
But Pro they may be a little bouncy for me in the long run . I will be ready to adapt a Mustang bucket in there if need be .
Bobby,I have 95 Mustang buckets in the F100,because we were sick of sliding around on a bench that fell away on all angles..It was sad and slippery..I fabricated some frames for them to sit on,bolted it together,and they are quite comfortable..:cool:
Old school mustang buckets,60's? I had a mustang bench in my old 49 chevy truck, always like the old 60's buckets.
This is what I would go to like how they wrap the body in .Quote:

Heads I got off ebay came in and just as listed rebuilt fully . I pulled some valves at random to check and the seats and valves where just ground new and the guides where nice and tight . I couldn't have had a pair machined for what I gave for them .
A little update in pics of the Moving Forward :3dSMILE:
