Hmmm.... you know? If I get my own T.V. show, I may lose the respect you guys have for my work! Assuming you all actually HAVE respect for me, that is. HA! You know? I've said some funny stuff and that right there is pretty darn funny!

Moving on, the rear axle is all buttoned up and bolted in. Brake lines, and even the original vent hose which showed a factory marking. Some dash parts going in, and the engine now has the fan/ clutch and lift hooks installed. I'm waiting on the smog system to come in too. My car had it originally, but Bullitt did not. I want the underhood to be 100% stock so I'm installing it. But, I'll be gutting the pump and the head ports are blocked off, so it'll be a dummy system... like me!

Ryan, G70 Bias Plys.... think the diameter is 28.5". Those are what McQueen mounted on his car. Stock RUG for 68 390 GT is a wide ratio.

Really nailing down the Hero Car look with this wheel/tire combo. I'll paint the spokes just a little darker to mimic the unpolished Magnesium of the originals. And if anyone has a set of originals in the Ford bolt pattern...... gimmie!!

Cheers
Dave

I really hope to visit you one day to see how the heck this restoration thing is done:-)

PS: Wide ratio and those tires and 3.90’s will be so sweet!!!
