67 Fastback - Project Dalamar

[Bonehead]

Not really a Ford guy, but I'd love, love, LOVE to have a 67 fastback with a new coyote motor. Totally enjoyed your build. Eager to see where you go next. Awesome!

Thanks Bonehead.
I totally agree, if I hadn't built this Cleveland years ago, we would be putting a Coyote in this car.
So if this motor blows up it's on the table!

Going to make it to the Spokane or Puyallup Good Guys event? If so, stop by and see me at the Edelbrock event trailer. Would love to see this car when its ready to hit the road!

I don't think i'm going to make it this year. Would like to go and stop in to say hello. sounds fun.



Dash update:
covered every inch of the firewall and bottom of dash/cowel with Luxury Liner insulation.
put the dash back in less the SN harness.

Unbelievable talent. That is awesome work that you have done. Id like to park my car at you're house for a while to let you loose on it. Keep up the pics!

[Dalamar]

Thank you good Sir!



Looks like these will do the trick!
it did require a "little" mod to the floor pan -

Looks great.

Decided to clean up a few of the parts on the IRS

[Dalamar]

While i'm at it, i grudgingly decided to clean up the pumpkin and polish the lower control arms.....








Got this far tonight, need to go get some more sand paper and wheel attachments for the punk-in tomorrow.

Now I see the secret to your success! LOL, great work!

[Dalamar]

The secret is out!

Just read through your build and you're doing some really awesome work Dal! Very detail-oriented and I love seeing all the metal fab! I'll be keeping an eye on this as you progress through the project!

[Dalamar]

After clening up the rear end and some of the stuff on the IRS, I figured I may as well do the whole thing.


Here's some progress pics:



Made this bracket to fill in the gap in the center:

Thanks Rio.

This next bit was influenced by my looking over your build thread

[Dalamar]

I'm happy with how it turned out.

[lucky13firebird]

I'd be happy too, love the metal scoops

[ATOMonkey]

Is that just sanding on the aluminum bits? Did you hit it with a polishing wheel too?

[Dalamar]

Thanks Lucky13bird!
