Just one more time---back is finished---except for carpet.

Got the rear window areas just about done---put the rear panel on and window trim---then all that will be left is the front doors. I think that`s about it till after the by-pass surgery on Monday (1:00 PM) .Lee

777---no problem---the bolts center the hub---the bolt pattern is the same and the studs fit right on---the lugs do the rest---94-96 Vic rotors- mid 80`s full size GM calipers--Mustang non-power master (disc-drum)---banjo style brake hoses---MoPar police rims---Diplomat--(I think)--with wheel spacer to clear suspension--(stock)  Since the R&P I haven`t checked to see if it`s needed anymore. The bracket is from Scarebird.I have a thread back some time ago----lots of pics---- Very happy with how it turned out.......good luck......Lee

Not sure if your hub and mine are the same---I used the Crown Vic rotors on mine and they fit like factory---hub centered up good and the the old rivit holes lined up perfectly to the threaded holes on the Vic rotor---put some bolts in and the rotor centered up correctly.

Dad & Lad projects are fun............keep the pics coming and good luck on the build.......Lee

Finished up under the dash and did some on the rear window area---will go till I run out of time......Lee

Ditto on the Ford---better brakes,parts avaliable,easier to service---go with the disc brakes----you won`t regret it.

you can tell you really took your time on this job....about as neat as you could ever expect..good going..

Thanks Tim you made my day..........Lee

Got the rest of the floor covered today--really took all week (about 3-4 hours a day). Got to put some on the firewall under the dash and some on the doors---but I will put the rest on hold till I heal up from my surgery. Ya get it all done and it looks good---then ya cover it up with carpet.

My first MoPar was LuLu---1952 Windsor---the closest I got to buying a MoPar when I was a kid was in 69---I almost bought a new Roadrunner---but cash was a problem at 21. Been a GM guy up to getting LuLu. I have restored,hammered,patched at least 30+ cars since I was a kid and LuLu has been a good car---lotsa fun with the old flattie and a good learning experience on MoPars. My first car was a 56 Chevy----after driving and restoring LuLu I have had a new appreciation for the  durabilty and engineering that went into these old cars of the day............see ya down the road...............Lee

hope this works on the pics.....

They gave me an option to use the old format or new ----or until they give you no option.

Got the rest of the floor cleaned up and painted it with Bill Hirsch rust paint----got some of the Dynamat down. Slow going since my heart attack---plus on the 19th I go back in for bypass----then nothing gets done for up to 12 weeks---they tell me re-hab might take that long---PITA.  I would show pics but the new format has me confused---how do we post pics now???? It took me quite awhile to figure it out the first time---computer skills are lacking.........Lee

Broad hips on a fit woman works.  Fat however needs tasteful tayloring and decoration to divert attention.    Am I profound or what?...  

Built for a better ride....the car that is...heh-heh

We need pics.....good score.........Lee

Not my engine.  I built the manifold, but all the credit for the good looks goes to Bloody Knuckles.

Didn`t you build one with motorcycle carbs---if ya did ---how about a pic of that too.....you did a great job on my intake also....Lee

looks nice, i like the beefed up rod. is the lid for master easy to access? i'm sure you had to make a new hole in the floor.

I just put a small access cover over it and it is mostly under the seat---sticks up about an inch.

I did it this way.........Lee

So-so nice. Me want (pant-pant):D:D:D

Enquiring minds need to know..........

What?

TTTHHHHHEEEEERRRRRREEEE BACK---those evil electrical gremlins:eek::eek:

The "Kid" has been busy with the fenders----opened up the radius a bit to handle the tires he wants to run--235-45 this way they are all the same size. You can see the cut was made at the front---I have seen it done on some other Novas---can`t even tell from factory unless you look close.

This was one of the reasons I didn`t use his unit--it worked but I didn`t like how it was hard to time. The timing marks jumped around on the wheel---there were other reasons I don`t like his Hei. That being said the specs I remember were very close to what they were in---2.8V6. I think my 265 original specs are close to what the Hei is. That and changing the shaft makes it a quick conversion---I hope you work it out.......Lee

A new harness is a real pleasure to work with. They seem a bit pricey up front but you get all the ancillary components and fresh stock to work with. Using and modifying fragile antique wiring is a pain and frought with introducing electrical gremlins. The up side of using the stock stuff is, you'll always have something to do,....electrically speaking,..... and sometimes on the side of the road. It's also a test of friendships, seeing who stops and who drives by

Carry a fire extinguisher too

Congrats!! Great daily driver---much more fun--do it again....Lee
