why did you lap weld the pan? That is a great way to trap water and create rust again. Not the correct way to do a floor pan. Just my opinion. Let the hate fly..........

I like your idea with the steering column! Might use this idea on my chevelle I am restoring. I have been using your videos to help me work on my chevelle! Thanks

Jenny and I love this car. It rides smooth and pulled great without the turbo. Glad to see you are still messing with it and making it a bit better and better.

Thank you bud. It is fun to keep building the car. I need to finish the fuel system so I can turn it up!!

I am very happy with the kit so far. Haven’t gotten the car done yet so time will tell if the trans can handle the BBC engine.

Your front windshield should be the last thing you install. No engine in yet. no instrument panel in yet. Hope you don’t have any instrument/electrical issues. It’s a lot easier to deal with those issues without the front windshield in. Been there before…….

Oh my. I cried a little for you after seeing how much love you put into your Cougar.😢 Are you going to restore it again. I've seen guys bring back cars in that shape and worse? Did the shop have insurance? I hope you didn't give up on your baby. I always liked the Cougar better than the Mustang because it had more style and luxury.

@dadbodsandhotrodsgarage 6 ай бұрын

No the car was a complete loss. Couldn’t rebuild it if I wanted to. The shop did not have insurance. I had to move on to another project car.

@realmaindrianpace 7 ай бұрын

Absolute heart breaker, I always liked the '69-'70 Cougars ever since an old boss of mine at a shop I worked at in the early '80s had one that he fixed up for his wife, a dark green metallic '69 XR7 with a black vinyl roof. Way cool car. I hope everything works out as well as possible for you.

Sounds just like my car. It was being painted dark free and had a vinyl roof. It hasn’t worked out yet but I now have a 71 chevelle.

A cool find. I have a 71 Malibu convertible. I'm the 2nd owner, bought it July 2nd 1980 when I was 17 years old - my first car. Originally a 307 with a turbo 350 and a 10 bolt, it now has a 688 HP 489CID tall deck big block, a TCI TH400, and a Moroso posi pumpkin. It's setup as a road racer, with twin NASCAR radiators replacing the nose, a 9" snorkel flanked by twin L88's for a hood, and a F-40 wing'. They look nice in white. Mine's red - GM #68 - they called it "Cranberry Red" for 1971. Black interior, white top.

Full closed chamber heads, you couldn't have done better. Flat top pistons and open chamber heads don't build enough cylinder pressure.

With the valve reliefs, would almost think it was a 396.

I have seen that on 396s as well. Turns out these are called Valve Shrouding and it is used to help with airflow coming in from the intake valve. It is a pretty good read and i am glad to see it was performed on this block.

@dadbodsandhotrodsgarage 10 ай бұрын

It requires a mixture of the shine juice and hardener. Double check your instructions. You will get bud.
