Lovin the 70's throw back paint scheme!

Do you need a radiator? I have an old 67 radiator for auto trans that came out of my 67. It was working fine when I purchased the car. I think it's from a big block, but I'm not sure how to tell. It's yours for shipping cost.

yes, let me know shipping to 42276. Thanks!

I see this is referred to as the unofficial stangfix drag car. What is it going to take to make it official?

guruatbol · « **Reply #28 on:** September, 08, 2010, 08:34:03 PM »

Yep. My car had stars on the hood, fenders and stripes going front to back.

I've got a small Holley carb, T10 4 spd, C4, Hood, steering box (Long shaft), Oil pan, fly wheel, starter for manual, steering wheel, I think a Grant GT, I think some gauges, and a real old school tack, dash mount from JC Whitney in the 60s....I have so much stuff it is ridiculous. If you are cutting the shock towers I have a set of Jet Hot coated shorty headers, I also have a cross flow radiator that was custom made with baffles to slow the water down to let it cool. I have a new metal flex radiator hose.

When I get home I will look around the garage and see what else is there.

cool, I'll make a list of things I know I need, we'll see what kinda deal we can come up with. thanks

tarafied1 · « **Reply #31 on:** September, 08, 2010, 09:05:46 PM »

okay, things for a 67/68 I know I need: (may add as I go)

right front fender
Hood latch
Hood Hinges (may have a lead on some locally)
SBF motor mounts
Windshield (may have a lead on one – scratched but usable)
Brake pedal assembly (manual disc brakes)
Drive shaft - C4 to 8” rear
Shifter linkage rod
Steering wheel
Wiring!
Steering column bracket
Shock tower to cowl braces (or export brace)

I have a bone stock 1977 351W 2V still running in an old motor home, I did get some decent 66 289 iron heads for it. I have a C4, but don't know what condition. Sounds like I might have a radiator coming from garner67. The car has disc brake spindles but the rest of the steering is gone. It was PS and PB but I have the manual Spear-O-Matic in the POS and a column so I can piece together the steering. I'm going to cut the dash out of the POS to repair/replace the cut dash. No plans to cut out the towers or tub the car (budget you know!) and I don't think it will be fast enough to need a cage right away. I may mini-tub it, not sure yet and if I go retro like the Sluggo theme, It will be okay to have the rear tires sticking out!

anyway, if you have some stuff on the list and want to deal, let me know. I don't have much funds at the moment but may have some stuff to trade. I'm still eBaying a bunch of things so I may get a few bucks here and there.
Thanks to all for the interest!
I swapped my 17x8 TTII's I took off for some doors (pissed off the wife, she thought it was a bad trade) they had about 6K miles, some of those were not actualy miles moved if you know what I mean! Anyway, the doors are from a 68, some rust but fixable. Got one on...

I'll be away from my parts while I'm in Salt Lake City until the weekend of Sept 18th. I'll check when I get back.

This will be a fun build to watch!

You need to make it crazy looking Craig. Add some wings and stuff... LoL.

Wish I was closer to help also!

tarafied1 · « **Reply #34 on:** September, 09, 2010, 05:58:00 AM »

the altered wheel base gasser look is really cool and I have daydreamed about doing that! I could sure use your talent!

Jonk67 · « **Reply #35 on:** September, 09, 2010, 06:31:01 AM »

Drive shaft - C4 to 8” rear
Shifter linkage rod
Steering column bracket
Shock tower to cowl braces (or export brace)

Craig, I should have all this stuff, the only things I'd have to dig for are the linkage rod and column bracket. I have my original single export braces unless you're looking for a one piece.
I have the C4 yoke too if you need it. I also have my stock C4, torque conv. etc. if any of that is of use. I also have 2" dual exhaust with H pipe to the stock manifolds if you can use them with mufflers.

beside two rusty bumpers, what can I give you in trade? the two piece braces should be fine, the C4 might be an option, I got one from John with the car but if your is known to be good?!?. I think I have a yoke, need to dig thru my totes of junk to be sure. I don't have a torque converter but was thinking I will get a high stall unit, may use yours just to get going though. I don't think I will need exhaust but will check the rules of the track. I'm going to pick up some headers at a swap meet or on eBay, I always see them cheap. Not worried about it being quiet or dragging the ground, it won't be street driven (well except on my street!).

Jonk67 · « **Reply #37 on:** September, 09, 2010, 07:08:26 AM »

The C4 worked fine when I pulled it, I'll start getting all the stuff together in one place, we can pass my place after the show and load you up if you like. We'll figure out other trade stuff later, I'm not worried and it'll clear some space for me now. I plan to switch to a 22 gal. tank once I'm running, you could do a filler tube for me?
My flywheel is chewed up, main reason I pulled the engine 1 1/2yrs ago...I have a good alt. 66A and starter too, C4 trans lines, 2 pc. 3/8" fuel line for '68 new, maybe we should just dig through my garage/shed when you're here.

cool, it's a deal! I can make you a filler tube for sure. I didn't think about tranny and fuel lines, that will help! The motorhome has alt, starter, etc...

what do you want for it?

Sluggo · « **Reply #40 on:** September, 09, 2010, 07:57:42 AM »

I have a pair of new repro hinges off the Boss. Pretty sure they fit 67/68 also.

I might have found some, I'll let you know if that falls through. The guy is looking thru his stuff this week for me. Thanks!!!

I dont have much laying around anymore. I do know that I have my old upper and lower control arms (originals, 53K miles) and an engine cross member. I have a couple timing covers from late model blocks (no fuel pump opening). I'll rummage around this weekend and see if I can find anything else.
