Worked on cleaning, sanding and polishing my vintage 3.5" Fentons. Turned out pretty good, can't wait to get the tires mounted and get these on the car.

When was the last time you got to brag about your engine's actual stump-pullin' power?
I had to pull out a 15 year old Weeping Willow that was tilting toward the back side of the house due to a rotten root. I had the tree service come in and cut the tree down but leave a 4 foot tall stump so I'd have something to lever against with a chain. I used a Sawzall and some pruning blades and cut the roots within six inches of the stump and then hooked the old trusty pullin' chain to the old 396 (Diesel) Turbo-Jet. Threw it in 4WD Low and slowly yanked it out of the ground. I then spent an hour knocking all the dirt off the root ball so I'd have something to fill in the giant crater I left. At least the dogs got something new to investigate. |

Slow getting back to posting. Work has been progressing on the '68 Mustang at work.
I use drill screws to pull the toe board tight to the frame flange, so I'm not welding to air between. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08302.JPG Blurry pic of clamping the apron tight to the rail for welding. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08305.JPG I had to cut out a piece of the frame extension to slide the new rail in. The holes for plug welding are what was missing from the previous install. Not having a dozen welds to drill out made the removal easy, but there is a lot of structural strength here that was missing before too. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08306.JPG Another blurry pic, looks like the camera focused on the exhaust pipe...sorry. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08308.JPG https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08307.JPG Torque box that was installed. The flange was supposed to be welded to the frame too. It was barely tacked and then a patch put over it and welded to the torque box. I cleaned all the crap off and spent time properly fitting it to the frame. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08310.JPG Holes drilled for plug welding. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08311.JPG Welded to the bottom of the frame extension too. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08314.JPG Locating the new radius rod bracket for welding. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08315.JPG Rail replacement complete. New lower control arm, upper ball joint and radius rod bushings. I need to do that to the right side too, but AFTER I install the engine/trans. The left was a major fight with no weight to hold the body while installing the spring again. https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08316.JPG Got the engine/trans in today and motor mounts and crossmember tightened up. Installing the steering gear, center link, idler arm, tie rods and that danged power assist valve and slave as a unit was a lot harder than taking it out !! https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08317.JPG https://www.yenko.net/forum/cache.ph...2FDSC08318.JPG |
A week ago, I had a pad built for the new shed. Friday, I spent the day leveling it and setting the 4 skids for the floor frame and Sunday, built the frame and set the floor panels. 12X16, big enough to park one of my cars in, but it's for all my lawn care equipment that will fill it. I will section off a 5X8 corner for a potting shed.
