my winter project

Where are you located? You are welcome to come check out my 69.

Thanks Baron. I live in Westlake (north keller). I'll check back with you when my on call is over next week and hopefully the weather is better.

Any of yall powder coated or painted the chrome around all of the side windows/ vent windows and door handles? I'm in the process of taking apart all of the above and blasting for powder. I would love to do it in black chrome, anybody know someone that can do that? Car is a '67 with full TCI suspension and fresh paint, minus drip rails, side vents, and a few other things.

What color did you paint your car? I think black chrome would look killer. I've heard good things about a powder coating place in Dallas off 35E. The name escapes me at the moment, I'll check with my buddy and get back with you.

Yeah no kidding. I'm not going to attempt to head to the shop until it thaws out.

I'm going to plasti dip my window trim, my drip rails and handles are shaved. I'm going to do my interior handles in satin black, just need an "at home" chrome strip so I can powder coat them.

I used same cam in my wagon but has a 400m in it. Nice project.

That sounds great. Did you build your 68? I may need some pointers along the way. Did you do the cable clutch or hydraulic on your t5 conversion? I'm still trying to decide. I think the cable clutch would be easier, but I already have a set of tri-y headers I was going to use, so maybe I should go with the hydraulic setup. These are the kind of things I don't want to get too hung up on to slow me down. I'm trying not to do too many mods to start with so it will go back together quicker and easier... I can always make changes later.

I built this about 12 years ago, and I used a JMC cable kit and haven't had any problems with it. I'm still on the original cable too. Since then I've looked at the Mustang Steve kit and will probably go with that if I ever have any real problems with this kit. I used a foxbody bell housing, clutch set, and fork, and a California Pony Cars crossmember and that was all I needed. I will say that probably the best thing I did to that car was put a roller bearing conversion in the pedal assembly. It made a HUGE difference in pedal feel and is definitely worth the work.

Car is Nissan B20. It's black most of the time, when in the sun you can see a lot of different pearls. I'm planning to paint the bumpers, front and rear window chrome body color.

I'd go with the hydraulic, but I haven't converted the SVO yet. All cables suck.
