Bringing her back to life

Thanks, I'm going to take a shot at making my own door sills next. I've gotten some great ideas from a few other members. I am thinking about gunmetal or black with a silver Ferrari Logo. I think I am going to have them powder coated. More Updates coming this weekend!!! Hopefully I will be driving it.

 

Well its complete, I will upload the finished pictures....The sad part is I have no oil pressure and I may have to pull the engine out and replace the pump and springs to be safe. I am looking at replacing the spring to help with flow (I hope it can be done through the drain plug) if not I am going to have to do the entire process over plus some. If I have to do it again I am going to get a lift to make my life easier. One thing is for sure I have learned a lot about this car from DIY and it’s really not that bad....Everything went back together perfect. I will try a couple of things with F-Chat help to see if I can fix the car without pulling the motor again but if necessary I will pull the engine and go through the entire thing to get it right (It might just take me a few extra months to complete, but it will be a good winter project).

WOW.........What a ride, the sound (Tubi exhaust), the speed. You guys were right, I love this car and so did everyone that heard/saw it today. More posts to come. I had a problem with the alternator and it wouldn't charge so my ride was only about 10 miles or so but the engine ran perfect!!!!!

The oil pressure problem was caused by a loose nut on the back of the dash, Bruce gave me some ideas and told me to start with the simple fix and go from there...He was right, i am sure glad I didnt drop the oil pan!!!!

Now I need to get the alternator out and get it checked, I wonder if there is an inline fuse or if its a gonner. I had it checked out before I put the engine back in and it was good but when I was installing the batter I crossed the wires for a split second and I might of damaged it.

I fixed the headlights - Blown fuse, now on to replacing the alternator this week. From there this winter I will work on the interior to get it perfect. Its easier to get stuff done on it now that its at the house and not an hour away at my dads shop, I love working on it down there but when you only have an hour or two extra in a day its just not possible to make the trip to the shop.

I got the old alternator and the new one I got from Bruce installed today....Worked like a charm..I went for a drive as soon as I got it in. All the headlights etc are working great but I still need to level out the passanger side it come up but not all the way and when i turn them off it goes down but not all the way. I think i need to adjust the throw on the arm but i havent done that for now. I side need one last undertray looks like its going to cost me $500 with shipping if i want one, maybe I will order it this week. The car runs great and I couldnt be happier. I am going to put some miles on it this weekend. More updates to come soon.

 

Almost complete and ready for summer, I have been driving it as much as possible...This week looks good until sat and then back to the 30's
