Installed the fuel pump, starter, brake lines, and fuel lines from the pump to the carb. Not a lot more to do and I will need to concentrate on the body.

I've done the milk crate and a gas can but never tried the rope steering!

The suspension that was on the car when I bought it was pretty hokey and just tack welded in. 7095432-AssemblingChassis020.jpg (73 downloads)

I'd rather see a Mustang II derived suspension or the original parallel leaf springs, but otherwise it is going to be a really sweet ride. Congratulations. R. Now I feel better. And I'm aware that the MII IFS is also ford-derived but at least it's a design that isn't unique to fords.

Not sure that I've ever seen one. I have seen some Mustang II's on them but I like the drop tube better. But I guess thats what rodding is all about. You can pretty much do whatever you want. Arno

Besides the valvetrain looking very dry, no assembly lube, everything looked good. I will now be pulling the valvetrain so I can soak the lifters in oil and then lube things up and put it back together. At least the cam has lube on it. When I pulled the pan a year ago to check and retorque everything the bottom end looked really good. Here's a picture of the Hot Heads roller rockers.
