"Strange that when the engine temp went up the fuel gauge went down"

Latest purchase will look nicer than the beat up pen

[Cwcb08]

Got the steering wheel installed, I had to adjust the horn button contacts for the button to work, it was initially stuck on




And pulled the shift lever, beat up as I expected ( it would drop into reverse when I slid the column straight, came out pretty easy after I got annoyed and sprayed some wd-40 on the roll pin





Going to go get plates and a sticker for it today!

Hey, that looks great, Cody.

Thanks Dave, i *think the next thing we will be tackling is the carpet, that should make the whole car look a lot nicer.

Cody that steering wheel looks really cool installed.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you don't find a nightmare of rust under it like I did mine.

Do a complete inspection of the metal when you get the old carpet and padding out. Also consider what to use for your new matting and sound deadener. I used Dynamat under a Boom Mat and it made a huge difference in both heat and sound.

im 90% confident there will be no shocks when i pull it up, the places i have removed already its been perfect. I'm not sure if i will bother to put down dynamat or something similar before i put the new carpet down.




in other good news its all legal now! plated and insured, just need some nice weather again.




i also picked up a rim to mount a spare to.

Faron, considering that in previous pix he posted, I see there are Grant Products boxes showing in the pic. If you look at their website, you will probably find the one he bought.

Look at Part #987, #967, and #967-0. He should be able to tell you which it was.

It's a grant #967 ( the 967-0 is a different shade of wood )

This is the puller

The ford button

And the install kit

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRT-3294

Took the car to get gas today the wheel feels great in my hands the wood felt silky smooth.

I'm still annoyed with the install kit the horn sticks on so I will need to mess with the contacts again, and the roll pins to cancel the signals were clicking against the signal mechanism so I will look at that again as well ( that could be because I need to re center the mount so the wheel is straight driving)

have two low CFM compressors?
want to sandblast a few things?
build this!








i ran out of sand, ill get some more 2moro, almost made it all the way around



i have about 45-50 into it

5$ in the 2-1 manifold
20$ two 3' leads
18$ sand blast gun ( clearance )
4.50$ 4' hose 1/2" dia
?$ misc fittings i had previously & a half bag of sand from when i tried to use the red compressor to sandblast last year

its not exactaly pretty but it will do the job for small projects and it didn't cost a lot to make
