What Did You Do to Your 911 Today?

You would think I should leave well enough alone. Can't do it... Back up on jack stands again.

Idle hands...

Rolled her out into the driveway so I could open the left door far enough to remove the antenna I found lodged in the hinge area (!).

Well today after several long months, I finished my 69 E motor, minus the injection pump. When I purchased the car the engine hadn't run since the early 90's and had sat outside in the elements for years. The MFI was gone and in it's place were rusted up Zenith's. I completely tore down the engine and refurbished as many of the original components as possible. I spent a great deal of time preserving every nut, bolt, and fastener as possible, in their original patina. I think this is actually more work than replacing everything and re-plating every piece. I really wanted to avoid that "Saddam Hussein Palace Bathroom" look that you see everywhere today with cad plating dripping off of everything. I think it looks like a well driven but well maintained engine from the past. I'd like to thank Tom Butler and Steve Lindholm for helping me source a lot of the missing MFI bits. All I need now is my MFI pump back from Gus, and she's ready to run. I guess I better start on the chasis!! I hope it's to everyone's liking, melted velocity stack and all...Cheers Steve

That is a pretty car.

Yessir. Glasurit is the best way to match Gemini Blue Metallic... and today, I "branded" the rear lid with new lettering from Classic and Speed Parts (good resource!).

[sithot]

Good guy for sure.
