The brake bleed was a success but there is light rain and I don't have the hood hood on yet so the test drive will have to wait..."til tomorrow"

All that fantastic work. And a dented dust cap? Hang your head in shame. Just kidding

Shiny!!!
Working on installing some tubs. First time doing this.
Took the avatar to the Gainesville Raceway track today for its maiden Florida outing. Great time - met a bunch of new people. And set a new personal best with the car even at a DA of 2100. Went [email protected] today. Car was great. (Me - not so much. Fell asleep at the tree in round 2.)
Oh well, just to be racing in January in 80 degree weather was fabulous!!

Demonx2.....that's a good running machine you have there.....very nice
Thank you sir. Like everybody's car on here, we always think there's a little more in it. I enjoy the heck out of playing with it and just the competition of racing.
New oil pump primed...

When a guy is 75 with bad joints and bad muscle, anything I accomplish is NEWS! at least to me!
But in S E Texas, winter is our good time. 65 yesterday, sunny but windy somewhat. I finished all the brake rebuild on the Brand Y car. (66 Fairlane) Why a Ford? Well after many many Mopars and 5 decades I ventured off track! I wanted another 70-2 Duster builder but I found nothing worth buying or in reason or close enough as with livestock, it is hard to get away. A friend had a 63 Dart for sale that was a bargain and I should have bought it but I love learning about new things and nice that Ford (Stang) parts are cheap compared to Mopar stuff! Please NO hate!!

That's a slick idea. Do you also pull the sensor when not in use? I ask because I thought about putting my AFR gauge on a switch so it wasn't on all the time, but both Innovate and Autometer said that wasn't a good idea because the sensor would not last if it wasn't powered when the car was running.
I was optimistic about getting my 74 Duster project running and driving during the week leading up to Thanksgiving..."best laid plans". Today after much struggle and false starts Donnatella finally starts, runs, drives and stops under her on power.
My 71 Demon 340 put 1 too many drops of oil on the floor. So up on jack stands it went. Engine and trans were rebuilt less than 2 years ago and it probably has less than 400 miles since I put it all back together so it should not have any leaks. I hate leaks!! (But they are too common on my junk!!)
We'll have to see if I found the leak sources but I did find the trans and oil pan and valve cover bolts needed a snug up. Also filter appeared to be leaking. So it got a new filter and oil change for good measure. Car has a couple engagements this weekend so it'll get driven and I'll get a chance to see what I may have missed.

That's because you moved to a warm place. It wouldn't have happened had you stayed in Michigan.
Hmmm...if true, I'll still take this winter weather any day!! I was in a t-shirt wrenching on it with the garage door open.

I ordered a cam from Racer Brown for my 416 stroker. 267/[email protected], 576 lift with my 1.6 rockers on a 108LSA. That should get her movin'
Tying up loose ends and a little customizing, can't believe I found this wiper motor new for $75
Painting parts so that when my ESPO springs get here next week I can start reassembly!
