Scared hell,  It knows it is a SUPERIOR automobile!  The Fords all scampered to the farthest corner of the dealer when she rolled in.

So in between all the darn yard work stuff, I managed to get some small things done.  I repainted the jack I got from Roy (Thanks Roy), I restored my recirculation door assy and also cleaned, etch primed and painted the cowl . Gonna try and get the fender wells in tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

OK,  So I havent posted much in a while but have made a little progress. I have been having an idle issue That has finally been traced down to the Quadrajet I purchased from Mr.Qjet in Arizona. Nice looking carb but I cannot get my engine to idle with it installed. It must have an internal vacuum leak since it idles very nice with the 4speed supplied Holley! Thanks Doug! I have been waiting to sort that problem out before putting my front clip back on so as not to scratch any paint. Hopefully MrQjet will contact me back on this but I doubt it.

 I now have the fenders and inner fenders installed as well as the front spoilers. I am now working on the front nose.  Im going to have the metal reinforcement and the headlamp buckets blasted so I can the repaint or POR15 them and install all new headlamp hardware. Once that is done I will reinstall the nose.

She desperately need a bath and a wax too. Gets real dusty just sitting.  Anyone know how I can get the wave out of the passenger side spoiler?

Mr.Qjet carb that will not idle for crap!


4 speeds old Holley that idles real good.


fenders and spoilers
