Mustang68.com: sounds great!
http://68redmustang.blogspot.com/2015/01/sounds-great.html
Friday, January 9, 2015. New year, new plan: I just know 2015 will be the year the '68 runs again! I've got mixed feelings about the decline in the number of posts I've been writing about this project in the latter three years: of course it's mainly due to "other things" taking priority, but I also think that my posting style has evolved such that I can cover more progress in each installment. There, that sounds much better! The trend is down. Even though I spent most of the Summer working on the shed.

Mustang68.com: mounting the motor
http://68redmustang.blogspot.com/2015/02/mounting-motor.html
Sunday, February 8, 2015. If you remember, I put the 351W back together over the summer (with a lot of help from my buddy Chuck! But we stopped short of adding the intake manifold and valve covers. And tested the fit with the zinc plated mounting bolts that came with the six cylinder setup. The folks at Mostly Mustangs. Also sorted me out with an appropriate block plate which will replace the six cylinder version. I cleaned up the plate using the previously well-rehearsed wire wheel method. Next we broke...

Mustang68.com: last minute hitch
http://68redmustang.blogspot.com/2012/11/last-minute-hitch.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. I was supposed to be a pair of fenders and the front wheels away from rolling. The fenders went on quite easily (doesn't everything by the fourth time! And I didn't waste much time on the alignment. Now you see it. Nowfast forward a few months, and it's time to move the car.and no rotors. Fortunately it wasn't a big deal to get a pair of replacements. At least it wasn't a big deal after I paid a visit to my buddy Mark at the Vic Hubbard Speed Shop. Magic wand, we managed to bor...

Mustang68.com: February 2014
http://68redmustang.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 21, 2014. The 1969 351W I've been working on for this project has come a very long way since I first set eyes on it back in July 2011. For a start I had to transport it back to the Green Room. Where it sat for about nine months before I moved house. After that another seven months ticked by before I started the tear down on my birthday in 2012. Martinez, California, July 2011. On the weekends, they build their own racing cars. Except the crank. And pistons). I also splurged on a pair of ...

Mustang68.com: oil pan gasket
http://68redmustang.blogspot.com/2010/04/oil-pan-gasket.html
Friday, March 19, 2010. Changing the oil pan gasket was the first "real" job I did on this car in November 2009. It was the first time I have ever put a car up on jack stands - and I needed some help* doing that as I was very nervous about what to do to make sure it was safe. There seemed to be an awful lot of crud on the inside of the pan:. Thanks to James W of BAMA for taking time out to show me where and how to position jack stands and what nuts and bolts to undo.

Mustang68.com: the best of the green room
http://68redmustang.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-best-of-green-room.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2012. The best of the green room. A lot happened on this project in the year it was housed in The Green Room. Without question it was the most productive portion of the project so far, and that includes a four month period where hardly anything happened at all. Looking back at photographs of the project over this time really helped get my motivation to keep moving forward in the next few months. November 27, 2012 at 7:28 PM. November 28, 2012 at 11:43 AM.

Mustang68.com: front end install
http://68redmustang.blogspot.com/2012/11/front-end-install.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. Looking a bit better after encountering the wire brush. Painted brake gray at the same time as lots of other small parts. I replaced the stock outer tie rod ends with larger ones to facilitate the upgrade to V8 spindles which have a slightly larger hole. Replacement parts on left, stock on right. The threaded connecting brackets were zinc plated. 40 years of oil and grime. It deserves two pictures. Back in the car again. First sight of my "new" brakes in Terry's '63 Ranchero.

House Of Loads: Cosmic answers in a Coors can
http://houseofloads.blogspot.com/2011/03/cosmic-answers-in-coors-can.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Cosmic answers in a Coors can. Best use of a beer can EVER. There's some sort of cosmic tie between dragster crews keeping dirt out of their zoomies and Jerry Reed humping cases of early peel-tab Coors cans across state lines with Burt Reynolds running interference in a feather-band cowboy hat and a whip-stingered T/A.
