Geoff from Champion Radiator sent me a reply, they are going to send out a replacement orifice tube for the radiator! Cool! now I do not have to make one!!

Oh and the size of the orifice tube on this radiator is 5/16 24 threads not 1/8th npt, I took the remains to work and had the machinist identify it for me since I no longer own a calipers.

Still need the Auto pedal assembly? I have the entire bracket/pedal/bolt assembly that came out of my 86GT when we converted to manual...

Yours once I can find it.

This weekend is kinda hit and miss with working on the car I will do some more tonight as I get home but I did get some done last night. The trunk is now prepped for the new sheet metal and I made a nice flange on the backside behind the tail lights to weld the new metal to. Also at work I had some metal braces leftover from a guard door I salvaged from one of our machines we build I will be using to reinforce the bottom side with so it has nice structure again and strength . I have some pics..........





I did a bunch more painting the other night too now everything up front is coated with a fresh coat of paint to keep it in nice shape

Glad to see so much progress already on this! My opinion is try and re create what the original idea for the front bumper was. I don't think anyone has done that and would look kick a$$! Also, I noticed you needed the air intake setup. Do you need a stock 2.8? I have a complete setup I will donate. Let me know! Only cause John helped me out when I needed it!

If we had more time I would probably tackle trying to make it look as it was first intended but as this is not the only car build I have going on right now and the general cost savings we are implementing with this build due to the loss John already incurred, we are keeping this a simple build leaning on the clean flowing look rather than the extreme mods and one off parts. After the initial build of the car and making it a running reliable unit we can revisit doing more modifications later on in its life. For now we have a really tight build schedule trying to complete it before thanksgiving.

So on with the build!! I had family stuff going on for most of the day again today but I managed to sneak out early this morning and meet my weekend goal of removing all the rust from the trunk area and painting it. I also fixed up the drivers door and removed all the rust and painted it as well.
