March 2004 Archives

The half shafts came in and they look great. They seem about the same size,
just stronger, better metal. They are zinc plated which makes them look
good as well.

What do you need to go to the track event? How about an IO-PORT rollbar
camera mount, fire exstuinguisher, and batter shutoff! Getting the camera
mount setup should be a lot of fun.

I picked up my upholstered interior and the powder coated trim this week. I
have finished putting the trim on and one of the door panels is installed.
It came out pretty nice. However it does need some detail added to it so I
ordered some carbon fiber composite sheets which I can cut into a "swash"
and put on the door as the newer style interior is done on the pantera.

I change the jets in the carb back up to 70 primary and 76 secondary. While
driving to the mustang club event I was having problems with backfiring
when the secondaries kicked in and lean surging. However the carb still
idles so rich that it will tear your eyes.

Next on the list is to install the speedo cable, new half shafts, clean up
some more interior, and other cosmetic issues. I am also going to try and
put some mileage on the car as well.
