Short block

Looking good, what color are you going to paint it? 
I had family issue come up and couldn’t go to the Bakersfield double. Looks like Vegas divisional to try out the new headers and tune.
By the way I also have a set of ‘68 bumpers I’m not using do you want them?

Hey Mike, its painted” Antimatter” Ford Blue. It’s a cool color changes with different angles, not the best paint job… it’s a good “50 yards away” paint job;) haha

I’m planning on going to Vagas, hopefully I’ll see you there! I’d take them if you’re wanting to get rid of them but I have new ones. Either way, thanks for the offer! Hope to see you there!

Done. Except for fenders and doors, gotta finish those up. Got some orange peel, nothing that won’t cut and buff out, not too bad for first time... maybe haha;)

Car prepped for paint for the most part

I do plan on going to Vegas for my last divisional, I’m getting ready for the Bakersfield double in Sept. (24-27.)  I picked up some new REF headers last week and I’m hoping to pick up some et over the old Hookers.
Brian Pott from PV runs a ‘70 Mustang in B/S, runs real well with iron heads. Has been in the 10.0’s with it. If you touch 9.99 you need a full cage and some more safety stuff.
Do you need the trunk lid trim or the window seal? I can bring them with me to Las Vegas.

Nice!! I'd be willing to bet the REF's are worth close to a tenth! I was at the AZ divisional in Feb. and got to help in the tear down barn with Brian after he set the record at 10.08 in B/S, absolutley flying. That was without icing the manifold, draining oil, and had still had 30lbs to get down to minimum weight... thats a 9.90 B/S car, with iron c8oe-n 155cc intake ports. Brian deserves it, he's had a lot issues the last cple years, went through 2 or 3 motors to get where he's at. Brian has helped us non stop with our car, the nicest guy you'll meet anywhere!

I don't want to add anymore weight to the car, I'd want to go to chromoly if i did a full cage... we are running mild steel and the tubing has to be bigger and thicker to be legal, with chromoly you can run thinner wall tubing... comes out to being like 60 lbs less than a full cage out of mild steel. The car most likely would be too heavy, I may have added other metal in other areas of the car to help strengthen it... so can't dip into the 9's haha thats probably a pipe dream anyway!! haha

Thanks Mike, i would take them. If you could bring them along that would be great, id sure appreciate that! did you say you had a clutch pedal for 68 car?
