sweet you mean now you can turn on your lights hahaha
I can turn all of them bitches on and blind people
I dosent look like you taped the alternator before you painted it. Will it have any effect on the internal components?
i taped it
Looks taped to me…
Saw you on 9 today, looking epic indeed
…and the worst part is we’re not even done yet :lol
CFD, do y ou have a diffuser in front of your light? From the reflection on the car it looks like a giant florescent light leaving a reflection on it… Not trying to bust your balls, still a great shot, just the lighting looks odd. Also just noticed looks like a lightstand/Flash right on the rear quarter… Looks like two different temperatures. Again not trying to bust balls, work with what you have… Just want to know if its me orr haha
Was the light close to the car and edited out or?
:ninja Those are secrets only those there can tell about, perhaps it wasn’t florescent or a flash at all but a handheld device Big_Red was using…:ohnoes
handheld device :ahh what kind of crazy idea is this!!! lets just say no flash, no stands, and no diffusers … oh and KBB is on to something :ponder … all secrets will be revealed after we unveil the final edits
omg lightpaintsz.in4bridge pix :excited
oh do we get a gone in 60 seconds parking garage style shoot, with big red caught stealing the car on film?
:ohnoes
Im not giving away any hints…
Light drawing :shifty
Been busy the last couple weeks visiting schools for next fall but I did manage to get the front of the motor back together. All that’s left is the wiring, but you know me with my damn wire tucking so that’s gonna take a few more days.
front belt set up before, with that horrible tensioner and the old 65 amp alternator
and after
The coil also stuck out like a sore thumb
so I fabricated this
to relocate it here
much better.
I got the car back together last week, the new alternator, water pump and serp belt set up works perfect, the car runs much smoother and no more voltage dip/ belt squeak every time I turn on the lights/hit the brakes. I also relocated the starter solenoid and hid the wires. Its a huge improvement under the hood, no more rats nest of wires going in every direction. Some pictures.
The only wires left in the engine bay now are the PIAA relays and harnesses, Which I be relocating eventually as well.
With the car running good again it was time to take the car down to Carlisle, PA for the 15th all ford nationals. I went down with my girlfriend, Tom (69Clark) and a couple guys from Connecticut in a opal frost 95 Saleen. It was about 700 miles round trip and a little over 5 hours each way. Overall It was a good time, The weather was much nicer than the last time I went, making the trip much more enjoyable. The car performed flawlessly, It didn’t give me a single issue the whole trip, It cruised along all day doing 70 75 with no issue,I had it up over 100 a couple times and it was good minus a slight vibration in the rear. When sitting in traffic for 30 minutes going to/from the show the car stayed nice and cool. I even managed to get almost 23MPG. I entered the car In the Young Gun class for cars owned/ built by people under 25. I didn’t place but I thinks its because I left early to head home Saturday. The car drew TONS of people, just about every single person stopped to take pictures, there was a crowd of 3 or 4 people around the car at all times, looking and taking pictures. Overall it was a good time.
a couple from the show
some of the other cars in my class
I scored an original 67 mustang radio which are getting hard to find at the swap meet too, I will be converting it to AM/FM with an aux input for my I pod.
I also got some other odds and ends, not pictured - new under dash speaker, and a pillar covers.
light tension hood springs
longer hood pin cables, ones that I can actually bolt to the car rather than have taped to the underside of the hood.
For those that doubt that I drive the car…
done
dude the competition looked WEAK. bunch of junk.
+1, you would have cleaned up for sure.
