GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW

By -

January 21 to 26 2015 we took the 1953 Kaiser "Karens Kaiser" to the Grand National Roadster Show "The Grand Daddy of Them All"  We stayed at the KOA RV Park next to the Fairplex, unloaded the car from the trailer on Thursday morning and carried the display carpet sticking out of the passenger window. Waited in line an hour before they would let us into the building.  We got in, unloaded the carpet & lay'ed it down, moved the car in place and started the display setup that took 2 hours including the cleaning.  One of the outstanding was this hand formed all aluminum car.  This 1947 Hudson truck won first place and best paint.  Moor beautiful hot rods.  This is one of 13 contenders for most beautiful roadster.  The theme was The Grate Gatsby and lots of people dressed up.  This 1959 Cadillac De Ville is from Italy and was hung up in customs untill just before the show.  Lots of low riders...

1968 Mustang project

 I decided it was time to start a new project car and started watching Craigs List and Facebook marketplace and found a couple of cars with little or no rust and most of the parts with them. The one in Kingman was sold before I could get the money together and ended up going to Victorville California, a couple weeks later, for a 1968 Mustang coupe.   I selected a Mustang because of the parts that are available for them as almost everything is remanufactured now days. We bought car trailer a couple of months ago and put it to good use on this project car.  The car came with a 1989 302 (5.0) engine with GT40 heads and T5 transmission (that are out of the car) and an extra 9" rear end with a disc brake setup, front coil overs, set of headers, front disc brakes (calipers only), new Painless wiring harness (as well as the original), new aluminum radiator and a bunch of extra parts. There is a new padded dash but all the gauges and radio are missing. I'm currently taking the ca...

68 Mustang #11 New gauges/finish dash

By -

 I ordered a complete pre-wired set of gauges and received a do-it-yourself set. When I called the manufacturer, they said the box was mis-marked, and they would send the correct one and return this one. 7 days later I received the pre-wired and complete gauge set along with the senders. The advertisement and instructions said it was a direct fit and all I had to do was wire the 12-pin plug/pigtail into the painless wiring kit. Wiring the pigtail went good after all the wires were ID, as there were several spares or not used wires. Then when I tried to put the panel in place it would not set flush to the dash. The dash and steering column support metal interfered with the wiring and the back of the speedometer and tach. The wiring was moved and rearranged to clear, but the speedo & tach hold down brackets were too deep to clear the support. I cut the long machine bolts on the back of the speedo\tach but still had to bend the support to get it to set flush. The dash is now compl...
