I meet up with the folks from the FYI Ford MustangSteve Forum for the annual Bash. This year will be in Bakersfield CA on October 12th. I have the prvilege of providing the trophy.
I was looking for a piston back in June and HBStang was able to set me up. Here is the finished product.
It’s a factory Boss 429 piston with the part number showing. We also have a transmission input shaft and slider, wheel bearing races ,and a couple of valves from a small block Ford. The only parts that cost money out of my pocket are the 2 spark plugs. They came from Walmart closeout sale in the mid 90’s that I have never used!! The trophy plate does rotate on the race of the input shaft bearing.
Thank you to HBStang, Glen Buzek, Steve Buzek, Steve Wilkes, and Jeff Towman for the parts donations and Steve Buzek for the welding.
The trophy is in the mail headed to the Bakersfield for the Bash. Can’t wait to see everyone.
Someone will be going home with a cool trophy so I hope yall have been practicing.
For you guys on the west coast, it sure would be great to meet in person if you have some time.
