    You got a set of beehives for free?

    Lucky bastard. Those things usually ain't cheap!

    Oh, and make sure to have the installed height of the springs correct...

      How do I check the installed height? These are definitely a bit taller than stockers.
      They came from the guy with the Mustang shop. He said he had them for a race car he wanted to build, but said he'll never get around do it and my wagon is a much better recipient for the springs than someone else he doesn't even know.
      I'm gonna have a decal made for his shop and put it on my back window. I owe him that, to say the least.

              I saw the vid of your car what was up with the smoke? is everything cool or is it just oil burning off the hot stuff? Other than the smoke it was super bad ass I have allways wanted to put manual trans in the police car.

                Sorry- didn't see this post!
                The smoke is Seafoam that I ran through the vacuum system. Helps clear out the vacuum lines and the valves and whatnot.

                Onto other matters...

                When I installed the beehive springs I had clearance issues with the E4 aluminum valve covers, so I had to order tall covers. They came in Friday and I finally found time to install 'em today. They clear the upper just fine. There's about 1/16 of space between one of the vacuum tubes and the VC, but it clears.

                ...then I tore one of the upper intake gaskets. So no driving it until tomorrow.


                Pictures to come ASAP.

                        Enter the Chronicle

                        Pete organized all the threads involving this build into one massive Chronicle at my request. This thing even puts Steve's Vast Chronicle to shame...
                        Thanks a lot, Pete. If I can do anything to pay you back, just ask!

                            Nice Vids!! That thing has an awesome note! And I never realized it was silver...for some reason I thought it was darker.

                            And where is that white smoke I was prommised??? Huh! Chicken out or something!?

                              My primary drive tire is on metal threads. Gonna swap the tires and then you'll get burnout.
                              ...and before someone says it... I did not almost get hit by the Explorer. There was plenty of room... just a bad angle.

                                Oh- and it's a silver/baby blue. I think someone once referred to it as ice blue...
