The 425 is finally in. I figure I still have about a month before I can fire it up. I need to finish the inner fender wells, core support, rebuild the wiring harness, and all the small stuff too. :3gears:
425 Nice , really nice, The next time I am down that way I will try to drop by and see this famous machine.
Very Nice!!!!! Rich, CAN I GO FOR A RIDE? I know I am not a Lady but I would still pay to take a ride in that Bad Boy! GOOD LUCK WITH IT! MAT IT BRING YOU MILES OF SMILES! ......I am gettin jealous
A beauty to behold. :TU: I hate when stuff is too nice to get dirty. :ball: Great Job. Let us know how those headers work out on the nailhead.
sign Rick, You should have taken a closer picture of the sign under your wiper blade! BTW, any ashes I got on the new black paint, I made sure I blew them off before you saw them. :laugh: Steve
WOW :eek2: one day that will be me, stuffin my rebuilt engine in and having my car all purdy...seems so far away
Thanks for the thumbs up! It took a long time to get to this point. I gotta keep going to finish it. The headers are TA's with "Jet C" hot coating. This is a non-A/C car and I am adding a vintage air system. That is an adapter plate to accomodate the compressor. Apparently the A-6 is way too strong for the vintage air system or I would be using one to keep the stock look. I cut the "ears" off the original mount and welded the plate. It turned out to be a very solid mount. It will be very interesting to see how A/C install works out. Don, you can ride any time. One of us has some serious miles to cover to make that happen! :grin: GSMAN66-I do need to get a better pic of the "425 Inside" logo! Rick
Those headers look great, looks like you won't need to run a mini starter on them,,, wish i had that luck with the ones for my 65 skylark,,,,,
Rick, Who rebuilt your engine ?? I have one I need to get finished and the guy I normally use told me no more nailheads.....
Bill: S&S Auto on Westheimer. Donnie is who did the work. 713-782-5920. They are always working on a bunch of old school stuff. Are you going to come to the club Christmas party again this year? It is on the 17th at my house. Let me know and I'll send an invitation. Rick
I see where I stand! Rick, PARTY????? What party???? Jeesh I never got an invite! :ball: I see where I stand! Maybe my invite it is still in the mail???? Merry Xmas! Don
