I know she ain't a Ford, but she's still my baby...


Still need to replace the rear brake lines, and clean up/paint the rear brakes. Then once she's a little closer to coming off the dollies I'll install the rear sway bar...


Kinda dusty, but here's the front suspension installed. Just gotta get the torsion bars back on this weekend, and she can go back down on her wheels. Then I'll be moving on to the brake lines, booster, MC and rear brakes.


and here's the new discs. The rear will be getting discs sometime in the not too distant future, but was more than I wanted to tackle by September.


Once the brakes and suspension are done its on to the engine and tranny. I still need to get the tranny cleaned up, but the engine really just needs the water pump and dampner. My buddy has all the carb linkage. He's chroming it for me. and now that the Stang is gone I'll be picking up a set of headers. Haven't decided if I'll go ahead, and spend the bucks on a nice set of ceramics, or just get the cheapest thing I can to get this thing going for now...

 

Looks like progress Bet you're getting anxious to get her on the road!

 

What's with the rust color -- is that the color it came with from the factory?

 

Looks more like copper to me ???

 

Looks like Mango Orange to me...

But I remember that from another thread...

It's looking sharp, starting to come together, closer and closer by the dollar.. I mean day... I mean

I'd go ahead and get a good set of headers, I don't know about chrysler not real experinced there, but the cheapies are hard on both Ford and Chevy starters alike. Besides it's much easier to install now with the engine out. Than if you change your mind later and change them out.

Man all these old iron threads, I can't wait to get the boat back together and get started tearing into my TA.

 

The car was originally dark brown with a copper interior and white top. It is now Go ManGo from the new Daytona Chargers and Rams. The interior will be black and Go ManGo with a black top...
