With all due respect to ALL other dog owners.
I have the best dog in the world. He loves just being there under the car with me.
His name is Cammer (Cam for short).

Since we're all sitting around watching the tube today, I thought you guys might enjoy this.
John got finished with my headers. As I said before, concessions had to be made, so no equal length, and had to make slip joints for the passenger side. We thought that side would be the easiest but the bell housing said different. There was no way to get a full set in, so we decided on a slip joint. But the way he did it really is neat. I like that he made the joint at the collector.

Yeah they're not gonna be cheap but there's really not any '66 Mustang 428 with a Mustang II front end pipes that I could find. ;)
Hope y'all aren't to cold up there.

Radiator day today.
Living in SoCal I don't want to say "it's to hot to take a drive" or "I can't sit in the burger drive through 'cause it's to hot".
So plenty of radiator is needed here. Stock don't get it. The stock opening don't get it. So, cut it up.
I measured the core support then ordered a nice Griffin crossflow from Summit and stuck it in.
As expected it was a bit to large so I went about making it fit. I cut the frame rails down and made pockets for it then hacked out the center of the core support. Turned out pretty nice.
I'll fab up a tray and mounts and on to the next project.

Nice job, Marc.  I've made those same pockets in 67-69 Mustangs to make a 31" X 19" crossflow radiator fit.  Well worth the trouble for the additional cooling capacity, IMO...

Today I put together the sway bar I purchased form Scott's Hotrods.
It comes in pieces as a tube, a bar, laser cut side pieces for the mount, nylon style end bearings and all the pieces you may need to get to the A arms.
The female splined arms that run from the bar back to the down mounts are huge. To huge. I showed John and he took them and did a little magic with the mill and I had nice parts instead of hugeness. I took a pic of them after he cut off the rear of the arm but laid them next to each other so you get the idea. Then the finished arms are visible in the next pics.

Wow Rusty, they look like twins.
BTW love your cars and really appreciate your and Brians expertise. Hope I learn half as much as you've forgotten.

Hi, it look's great as for all of your clearance problems and weight distribution if you make the front fenders six inches longer the oil pan problems go's away and it gives you a lot of room, you said you like to modify your cars, that's just my thought. Leny Mason

Now that's something I haven't thought about. :)
Everything seems to be fitting as it is. In throwing a tape in there it looks like the water pump and rad fan will all fit. Making the pockets for the rad moves it forward under the core support top.
I think it's gonna work fine.
