Was it painful to paint that stuff on all of your freshly restored and shot paint?
I know it's the right thing to be factory correct, but that would pain me to do the overspray like that.

Not in the least! It's all part of the process. :cool2: each step adds to the"rolled of the line" look and is fun to replicate.

Happy to report the Stang roared to life! The original 390 belched and gulped, then grumbled and screamed ready to take on some streets of San Fran! Eric... that carb was tuned perfectly!! Thank you so much!!:biggthumpup::biggthumpup: I prefilled the bowls and it fired right up. A syringe is the ticket for that and we just happened to have an extra one laying around from when we had to feed the newborn kitty. I'm pretty sure it was the cat formula that made it fire up so fast based on how crazy our cat is today!:hmmm::thumbsdown:

And of course, the brand new start solenoid took a dump right after I shut it down after the cam break in....:thumbsdown: But fear not! New one on hand and ill post up a video tomorrow! How'd I figure that out? Simple.... key off.... car still runs:dunno: Pulled the coil wire off to stop the car running. When I hooked the battery back up, I tested the poles on the solenoid and low and behold, the "I" (ignition) terminal was getting volts. So that contact fused in the solenoid itself. Good times. :crazy:

So tomorrow I'll put the new one in and fire it up again! Woohoo! Two parts left: Radio and Steering wheel (getting leather wrapped) and here's the heat shield and s-tube for the air cleaner ready to go in.

More to come.....

Cheers:beers:

Great work as alway Dave!! What an awesome Bullitt Stang. Can't wait to hear it run.

With the Stang rounding turn four what is next on the agenda? I know you have something brewing....another Mopar, Vette, Chevelle or another Mustang?

Hopefully that worked! :scholar::confused2:

Cheers
Dave

Let me guess.

You left the back-up lights off so no one would know when you are about to do a reverse burnout.

Pretty sneaky that. :naughty:

Wow wow wow. Very nice Dave!!

Thanks men! I'm shocked at how smooth this thing idles too. Sounds really good through the resonators!:laugh:

Low fuel light was the last light to function on the Convenience Panel and now they all work. Oh... and the Brake pressure light on the dash is fixed. That was a simple connector issue. Now that the cam break-in is done, all I need is my steering wheel back so I can get some video on the test drive! Hopefully next week.

Engine bay done. The front shocks are Koni, like McQueen had too. Still visible on the Hero Car today in the engine bay photos. What I may do is install the same open element air cleaner that's on it now so the look is identical. But that may be at a later date. Love the stock big chrome lid!

Steering wheel....Radio....Alignment: DONE!!:biggthumpup::3gears:

To answer your question Lawrence, they'll be another thread on this. Plenty of projects in the works with the main car I've been chasing for 3yrs may come to TX soon! :naughty::burnout:

Cheers
Dave
