I need to send the replacement crank out for polishing and balance. The block and cap will require a line bore. Timewise those 2 jobs are out of my hands. I can for see some late nights coming up in May.

    Got the block back this morning from having it align bored. The replacement crank will be balanced and polished tomorrow. Things are progressing in the right direction....I hope there will be no more surprises.

    • Good News John

      So can I assume you didn't take this opportunity to add a 100 cubes to the mill?

          An enabler? I have never thought of myself that way. I just have an inquiring mind

              • Took this '63 on it's first shake down run tonight. To a car show in a town about fifty miles away. The first time to drive it over a couple of miles. Down in rush hour, back up after dark. (What balls, huh?) The two inch lifts in back definitely need to go. Temp maxed going down in the heat. And then, on the way back after dark, on a busy 4-lane, the lights just go dark. Discovered that they would come back on after playing around with the switch a bit. Then do it again. I might need to do something about that.

                • The dimmer part of my headlight switch is broken. Not a big deal though. One headlight blows on one setting I forget which. I did find a loose wire though.

                  • Progress on my A-Arms!
                    Interim pictures too big to post.
                    Shipped out to No Limit on Tuesday May 1st - they received them on May 3rd.
                    They completed them and shipped them back on May 10th! That is exactly what they promised - how often does that happen with custom made car parts nowadays?
                    I should have them on Monday and will post some comparison pictures shortly thereafter.
                    Still a little tight on the timeline but way better than I expected. I will have to send them out to be powder coated after a trail fit and I figure out all the geometry.

                          Hey Ralph, this is Bob. I just checked and it doesn't look like we're going to be coming through Cincy. Donna and I are leaving from her house so we won't be coming down 75. Dad will be coming through Cincy so I'll find out what time he is planning on rolling through and let you know.

                              We can recommend Pasquale’s in Maysville, KY. Stayed there on the way home from a couple of tours.

                              • A lot. was going to take the new 01' mustang convertible, but can't figure how to make the motor out of a 2000' GT works. I changed engine, tranny, rear, computer and engine compartment wire harness, but can't get it to turn over. i'm sure it's something simple, but haven't had time to work on it. i'll probably just ride shotgun in harrys monte carlo.
