I knew it!!!! Just like the rest of us, you've already made 50 passes in the new car!!!!!!!!!

I set the front end on today for a look see. Looks like I've got some work ahead of me.......don't fit so good LOL

I think I better build the firewall first so I've got somethin' solid to work with

Oh well, nothing new there, huh???? Once I had some fiberglass parts that actually fit without alterations.... and it was a really good dream!!!!!!!!!!

Usually when I dream about fiberglass it's a nightmare

I knew you would break sooner or later Pro! Thats a great video and the car is looking very cool, she is going to be a real beast! Very cool!

Great video! That thing sounds awesome and it doesn't even have a cam in it yet.

Here's a couple of pictures of me working on my stock 27 T, it has a bad cam gear and bearings which I'll be pulling out tomorrow. The last picture shows the valve springs out and my faithful Model T manual.
I'm getting this project done while waiting for Dave and I to decide on when would be a good time to bring my T couple chassis over to him.

I love vintage engines, Tom. That's a real beauty. It's amazing to think about all the history that's happened between the time your car rolled off the assembly line and today.

Tom that was a great shot of the old T engine. I had no idea the valves are in the engine block! Cool functional design, obviously if it's still running 81 years after it was made! Simple by todays standards, yet a real work horse if I remember it's history right!

Oh, if cars could talk

Ya it's a pretty nice orginal car with matching numbers. The engine has a whopping 20 hp This afternoon I'll be pulling the cam shaft out to see how the bearings are, it fun working on it.

The cars in great shape, but where did you find the vintage Mechanic?
She's a sweet old girl Tom F, I'm glad your giving us a peak inside her world.

Well, got the coupe back in the shop, front fenders are now in something resembling the original shape, have to finish them (and the rest of the pieces) when we get the frame over here.....

And, with a little help from some friends, got the fenderwells smoothed out and primed and a dummy block and trans set in place in the 'maro to start fabbing up a front plate, headers, and the rest of the goodies.....

Finally, the latest edition to the fleet. It's an '88 Bronco II.... I'm thinking get rid of the 4wd stuff, drop it 10", chop it 3.5", strut front, 9" rear, and a new home (complete with 95" wheelbase!) for my leftover 514!! Well, something like that, anyway I figured seeing as how they're so neglected and everybody laughs at the Baby Broncos I should adopt this one and give it a bit of a makeover.... Ford didn't make a Bronco II Sedan Delivery, maybe I should???? Definitely open to wild and crazy ideas on this one, it's all for fun!!!!!!
