Re: Minion progress
Have the frame ties tacked in place.....should make it feel much more solid, don't have any previous experience with them. Now my buddy who welded out the front end is going to do the same here.

Re: Minion progress
I'm thinking in the lines of a masonite floor with standoffs under to clear it all with a carpet cover. Mostly lawn chairs is the only thing ever in there. My plan, if it all works like I hope, is to do one of the drag weeks or the power tour, then there will be lots in there.

Re: Hello from Illinois
They worked in my 64 with the zbar.....I changed them because I installed a Heidts front end and also the Hydramax throw out so no more zbar. It too is a 347 with Dart heads

Excellent.....had a65 in high school, 64 now.
I have a set of Sanderson FF6 silver ceramic coated shorties I'll part with. They're in the buy, sell, trade posts.
Good luck on the build!

Re: Minion progress

Re: Disc Brake Conversion
I used a master good for both front and rear disc, you can use it with rear drum which is what I'm doing but you need to put a 10psi residual pressure valve in the feed line to rear drums. It keeps the rears from backing out to return spring pressure so you don't have long pedal travel, down the roa...

Re: Minion progress
:D I'll take credit for the wiring but those necklace welds were made by a friend Tyne!! This panel is going on the firewall behind the dash, by removing the factory heater and using a Vintage Air I gained lots of space for ign and fuse box. Bent up a plate to mount ign at an angle so I can change s...

Re: Minion progress
Thanks.....starter and main fuse box feed. Will be 1 20a constant hot circuit running to the front tho to keep the fuel inj memory alive and supply power to the ign to kick main on with key. From the trunk forward I used quality 7wire trailer cable for switching the solenoids and carrying the previo...

Re: Minion progress
The welds are beautiful......I didn't do it, friend of the family who grew up with and now works for my son did it.

Minion progress
Greetings all.......build is going slow to say the least. Ten years ago I'd of been out here at 2am. In the middle of wiring now, battery to trunk with start and main solenoids. Bent up some tin and made channels along pass sill rail to run all the cables thru for protection. She looks like a gasser...
