Steady progress is the key. The plug wires went from a rats nest to organized which helped my OCD because it looked real bad and now it looks great. The finish on the valve covers and air intake scoop now match and looks good too. The key to a T bucket is the engine because it is always on display. You have now connected all the dots to make it look nice. I'll keep watching if you keep posting.
Oh the blue rats nest had to go I agree. Now that the motors all set I can work on the pretty stuff. But in trying to get a color scheme going minus the mis matching parts
Good eye! Now that it's cooled it looks normal but I went back and check the video and YUP! You are right. All because a 6$ thermostat causing all those issue
Those header. Extensions WILL work themselves loose over time. I put a pop rivet on the back side to cure the issue. Keep an eye on them, you don’t wanna run over one going down the road.
@@GearHeadzGarageUSA I believe so, if that’s what they’re called. The one bolt won’t hold them tight forever. Mine kept coming loose and would rotate so the exit pointed downward. To remedy the issue, I drilled a hole in the back side and installed a pop rivet. It’s worked fine for the last 10 years since..
@@RichT-s2r well I appreciate the tip! I'd hate to be going down the road and drive over one of those things and flip over lol When we get ready to drive and I'll keep that pop rivet in mind
@@GearHeadzGarageUSA its possible but i doubt H.R.P.T. will come this far south unless it routes through florida or starts in florida and goes north see im not far from interstate 75 maybe 30 minutes in midday traffic ten if late at night has this years power tour route known yet you are in fl. arent you

Fantastic Job! Bet you will sleep better knowing that you don't need a new Transmission
Not bad for a 50 year old trans that was less than a 100 bucks
Making progress.
Guess I need to get off my butt and finish mine up.
@@fantomson5035 that's how I was feeling for about 2 weeks
that lower radiator hose looked like it was ballooning a little 20:10 it sounds good man keep posting

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA I was peacefully watching the episode, laid back with popcorn, then I saw the hose and my heart dropped a gear
It's looking like it was the clamp and thermostat this whole time....fingers crossed

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA. You’re welcome and good luck with your build.
i like it i like it i like it if you ever wind in my area i want to see it it in person
It's coming together right! In the end it's starting to look good . I was a bit skeptical haha
Depending on how and what route I take for the HRPT think I could pull through GA

Sounds good man.
I was surprised, I'm thinking it's cammed. Doesn't sound factory stock
@@GearHeadzGarageUSAagree sounds like it has some compression
