  1. Are they ever truly done? I seem to keep finding stuff to do.
  2. Awesome, thanks. I've been waiting to finish my interior because I have a leak up there somewhere.
  3. Sent
  4. Going to be fun playing with that i'm sure.
  5. Do you have to cut the metal tits the plastic clips attach to off or just leave them alone?
  6. I'm going to do this soon, thanks.
  7. That should be plenty. I think I have around 325-350 horses and it is reasonably quick. I have had it to 105 mph and could have went quite a bit more but I figured that was stupid enough.
  8. Good to know, thanks Pete.
  9. Thanks for the kind words. I know I really need to upgrade the rear end but it has held up so far. I never have thought about stiffening the unibody but if I had more power it might need it. I will tell you it would be cheaper to go LS than gen 1 or 2 and fuel injection. It cost about $1800 or so for the injection and distributor alone. I probably have about $3500 in the engine. If you do put a V8 in I would recommend buying from Novak or another firm that sells engine mounts unless you are a hell of a fabricator. I seen a post the other day on another site where a guy said he dropped an LS in a Comanche for $200 total and I thought to myself I bet it looks like crap too. Get a good radiator and be ready to go through the whole wire harness to get rid of a lot of wires. It was really pretty easy except for the RFI issues after I put the distributor in. I got that all sorted out and it runs great now. I am waiting for my tires to wear down some more and I am going to start thinking about lowering it and putting street tires and nice rims on it. Oh, the lift is 3 inches and the tires are 31/10.5/15.
  10. Thanks alot. I will be ordering these.
  11. Dzimm, have a part number for the led bulb? I was going to start searching to put some in mine.
  12. I should have said I was having trouble with learning on my phone. I have always used a camera and loaded pics to a desktop and then to C.C. I didn't have a video for the light but somehow I made it look like I did. I think I figured out a little more today, though. We will see.
  13. Yeah, I seem to be challenged tech wise.
  14. Still figuring out how to post pics and videos with text. Anyhow, we had a half decent weather day so I took the opportunity to add a dome light. It's a led strip from Wally world so it's a cheapo. I will check it out tonight when it gets dark to see how much of a difference it makes.

  17. I have a 350 and a Dana 35 and that thing has taken some abuse. I can lay well over a hundred feet of rubber and it ain't broke yet. YET. An axle swap is in my future but the fuel injection was expensive so I need to recover a bit.
  18. Interesting, ready for more.
  19. Looks good
  20. This is starting to sound redundant but I was having issues still. But this time I really did figure it out. It turned out to be my plug wires. One night it was rainy and really dark so i popped the hood and looked for any arcing on the wires. Holy hell was there. I held them in my hands and they literally glowed green. There was arcing all over. I refused to believe the wires were at fault because they were 100 dollar Msd wires and weren't that old. I replaced them with some AC Delco wires and it has run perfect since. I also recently rolled over 20,000 miles.
  21. Really nice work.
  22. Looks really good, can't wait to see the final product.
  23. Has anyone ever put an independent front suspension under their Comanche? On the way back home I was looking at Facebook marketplace and a guy has a brand new in box, complete Mustang 2 IFS for sale. That started the wheels a rolling.
  24. That looks really nice. It's a lot of work isn't it? I kept the copper strips in the back for the turn signal lights so I created extra work for myself. It would have been easier to buy aftermarket led ones.
