Decided my next project already!! And this is nowhere near finished yet!

I want a 1977 Ford LTD with the 460 in it! I watched the first terminator film again the other day (for about the 50th time) and saw Kyle Reece hot wiring one and then falling asleep in it and dreaming of nasty things. Then proceeded to let Arnie punch through the windshield before abandoning it in a parkinlot and swapping it for a FWD caddy!!

Anybody else remember this?
Am I mad!!

"Last Action Hero" was another Arnie movie that got me into the classics. There was a beautiful red '56 F-100 and a '63 Lincoln Continental in that movie that had me going; still has me going. It was the reason why I bought my father's '53 F-250 back in '94. Perhaps one day. Gotta finish the Crown Vic though; or a certain middle aged mother will be at the doorstep with the .45 and laser sighting. LOL

I have a '75 Ford Ltd 460 C-6 4 door, rust free Ca car I have had for about 15 yrs. In excellent shape I will be selling soon. It will not be cheap though. I will post pictures as soon as possible

Looking forward to the photos!

Last few jobs before body is hoisted off the chassis (again!)

Final welded up the steering column mount through the firewall



Had a trial fit of the wiper motor but it doesn't fit!! Touches the rocker cover and throttle cable and TV cable are in the sweep



So I will fit a kit car type one in this space



All welding completed on the firewall inside



Now its welding up a framework to support the rear of the car when I use 2 hoists





More tomorrow.

Not been on for a bit. Can't believe how painful a nreve trapped in the back is! But it doesn't hurt there, oh no, just down my right leg.
Anyway, doesn't appear to be getting any better so while I wait for an mri scan on monday (cant wait) I'm going to get on with it.

Bet you can't tell what I've done here!

My late Dad had it once and got a cortisol shot. It actually worked but as we all know, everyone is different. Hope you get prompt and effective treatment QUICKLY!! Let us know....Bobby

Hi AndyFanshawe

I had that once and it lasted weeks, hurt like f*ck, I had some treatment from an 18 year old Thai masseuse, didn't help the siatica but sure did make me feel better

Got to apologise to you guys - been diagnosed with a herniated disc in my back, so I have had to take it slow and steady, but I'm still going!

Working underneath the body for a few weeks now, so I have designed and built a custom car creeper to get me higher up. Photos tomorrow.

Got to start blocking holes up and reinforce areas under the floor where it has moved up 10cm.

First one here






and another one

It's amazing the amount of work needed for a body drop.

You have to literally cut the car in half the hard way!

We did a couple s10's in college. It is a ridiculous amount of fabrication.
