      I like the copper hoses, but you need to ditch those clamps. get some of the Gates heat shrink hose clamps. McMaster Carr carries them.

      car is going to WeaponX to get tuned by Tracey over there he comes well recommended in this area. I do hate the clamps, tried several times to find the right size Tbolt clamps to fit and they were too small or too big. Actually that picture isnt even the current state- repainted the hoses gloss black and bought some new wormgear clamps. Really dont want the shrink wrap clamps because i want servicability and that sounds like it would make that difficult. They will get something different though.

      had my buddys 67 chevelle blasted yesterday and threw my parts in there with it to be stripped. Everything looks pretty good besides a few small rust spots on each door and fender. I had to laugh he stripped the inside of the trunk, which had been repainted and when they repainted it they taped up the factory spare sticker on the inside. He blasted the whole thing and it took every inch of paint off but that sticker would not budge. I almost think i should just leave that OE sticker on there its pretty tough.

      (thats not rust on the inside of the trunk its glue and seam sealer left over.)

      Took the car for a tune today. Took awhile to get things started but eventually we got the car on the dyno and down to business. After two hours he did the final pulls and came up at 391rwhp at 6100 rpm. Not terrible for a mustang dyno. Correction to a dyno jet shows 435rwhp!! At least now the headers don't glow when I start it.

      almost completely stock truck LY6 6.0 - installed a mast cam, push rods and springs, ls3 intake and LS7 injectors. - otherwise stock low compression steel block motor- factory heads are pretty good though same as ls3 with different valve material(heavier). Im thinking some long tubes and a FAST intake in the future could get me pretty sweet.

      Thats great power then. Long tubes will prob gain you another 10 hp. If you want to save money do a Trailblazer SS intake that has proven same HP numbers or better than fast.

      got all my bare metal parts in epoxy finally today. I guess the next step is to reassemble the car and see how she fits together so i can start finishing up metal work and do some body work.

      trying to get some engine stuff sorted before i start back on the body work. Fans wouldnt run, ecu wouldnt put out a signal to switch them on after several attempts and adjustments. Decided to go with a separate unit to regulate the fans so now the car has a thermostat at the radiator and a separate breaker/relay circuit just for the fan. Hopefully that works, hardest part was making it all look clean under the hood!

      Also on the dyno the belts were squeaking alittle and i wasnt sure why. First the alignment on my alternator was just slightly off- since all of the brackets are custom made, the pulley on the front of the alternator was slightly different than the crank and caused it to be off, so i had to put a small spacer behind the pulley. Then i noticed the belts which i measured and bought for the car, were just alittle long. The tensioner was almost totally open, and the power steering tensioner had come in so far as to make contact with the pump pulley! Couple new belts slightly shorter and everything was great. Just need to test out the fan and start doing some more dusty work.

      Meanwhile this 67 Chevelle project in the corner of the garage i took on has turned into an all out body rebuild due to lots of rust- man im glad my car was pretty solid. Ive learned alot building my car so hopefully this one will benefit from it.

      let the body work recommence. Passenger quarter is getting close. Welded in where the roof meets the quarter and around the back window where it meets the trunk filler panel. Ground that smooth then skim coated. Put the first skim on the drivers quarter and it looks pretty good. Lots of blocking in my future.

      still sanding and sanding away. Been working on my cousin's 67 mustang lately, swapped an 8.8 rear into it with Wilwood brakes and remade some brake lines etc. Now waiting on a vac pump since cam is killing vac to the booster. Also starting to weld on the 67 Chevelle sitting in the corner for a buddy of mine (who is on here) - started putting the floor pan back in last night. I did get a few pretty parts lately, new taillights, rear lower valance, door locks/trunk lock/ign. cylinder with new keys, and a Hurst shifter boot for that old school racer look....we'll see.

      Wow, great project! It looks like we have very similar goals for our cars. Keeping true to the original vibe, but with modern drivetrain and suspension.
