MECHANICAL

Mechanical work is something I enjoy a lot. Taking apart and rebuilding and having the product work correctly is a great feeling when you are working on older automobiles. 

Ford 302

I pulled this 302 out of my Mustang. It turned over but since I was doing a full restoration I wanted to refresh the motor

I started to disassemble and then access the needs of the motor

The engine wasn't in terrible shape but I was this far in it I thought why not make it have a little more power

I sent it to the machine shop to get bored 30 over 

While at the machine shop I ordered parts and waited for the call to come pick up the engine

Once back I started right away. I installed the custom pro comp cam and the 30 over pistons

Next were the AFR heads that I bought for the engine

In this picture, I am measuring the pushrod size that I need

I found the Moroso valve covers at a swap shop and I think it completed this motor.

Tremec T5

I pulled this T5 out of my car. It was originally a C4 so I am happy the previous owner swapped them

I cracked it open and did not notice anything too bad. I ordered new synchros 

I did notice my 5th-speed gear had a chip in it so, I decided to replace it 

I cleaned the case and got ready to put it together

I stayed organized while waiting for parts

I cleaned the casing and assembled it together and made sure that it went through the gears

1968 Mustang GT500

This GT500 came out of hiding in a barn for awhile, and when we got it the brakes were nonexistant 

I opened the master cylinder to find no fluid and remnant of rust 

I ended up also finding out that the brake light switch was faulty as well. 

After replacing the master and the booster and cleaning the lines out the car was ready to be driven down the road again. 

1967 Chevy C10

The customer bought this truck and decided he wanted to make some modifications for it to be a show truck. 

I stripped the bed wood and sanded it down and applied my stain

I then clear-coated the wood and polished the stainless pieces and it turned out pretty well 

When the bed was removed we decided to paint the frame and add some ridetech suspension 

I added a rear tank and in this picture I was getting ready to test fit it into position

I added a rear disc brake conversion kit as well

After the build was complete this is what it turned out to be. I am super happy with the complete product and what I learned when doing this type of build. 

I also added a complete TMI interior, a Dakota digital gauge cluster, CVF racing serpentine drive system, and the complete ridetech suspension.
