If you go back in the thread you will see that I have my own balancing act to follow in order to make this stuff happen.

[six-tee-nine]

Maybe we are all just slightly less motivated.....i know I am. After paint it will get better. That is if I ever get that far....

[bull]

got the shell back from being blasted today.

Wow thats much cleaner than i remember..      

I'm hoping that one day this poor old thing will get restored.

Pretty much got it done and ready to start driving it daily. Now, if the weather would ever straighten out.......

hey BRIAN dont take this wrong, but you might move the ign module,it pretty close to everything thats HOT   

[charge69]

Gorgeous car that definitely needs to see the light of a warm Spring day!

Yeah, That thought has entered my mind too. Im gonna keep an eye on it and check the tem now and then with my infratech temp gun. I hope its ok because moving it will require welding and painting of an apron.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

What a Beauty!    Great work!

[jaak]

Looks awesome Brian!
Did you paint it the same white you painted the Daytona with? You know what's next don't you, now you got to build a 70, so you can have the tri fecta.

Very nice Brian.   Post some high resolution pictures...

[Baldwinvette77]

Nice! You'll have to remove "another one underway" from your signature!   

[TUFCAT]

What about those recall wheels you had on the Daytona? I know they're '69 but who cares. They might look really cool on this car IMO.   Don't get me wrong your current wheel/tire combo looks great, but you could change it up if you wanted to. 

[ACUDANUT]

Damn nice. I too don't like the placement of the ecu...Too hot there.

That's a great idea! You wanna tell my wife for me though? Id better wait a while first.

When I get her outside I will try to take some better ones.

Sold those, but I have others for the switch up.

I ran my module for a while there with no troubles.  Did get hot in that area though

Now I actually have it mounted on the rear valley pan rails on the block...its cooler back there & gets plenty of air flow around it as well

I have mine mounted in the same spot, never had any issues.  I think it'll be fine.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

I still have to figure out why my car starts to chug like its not getting spark or fuel after 30 mins or after its running hot.....can't wait to see more pictures

[Back N Black]

Very,very nice! love the white top.
