Accomplished a few things today. Red lines are on, centers of the Rally I's are painted semi gloss black, map light over console is fixed, brake light switch fixed, burned out T3 replaced (glad I kept the ones from the Bird). Looks like the T3 I replaced was likely the original if you can imagine that!

Next up: Cut the hole in the hood for the new hood tach, paint the new tach, new header panel and the entire hood (several chips along the front edge).

Then: The four wheel power disc conv. should be here by Monday and that goes on the car.

Received an update from the machine shop on the 400 from the Bird. Had one really bad piston, some vertical scoring in the cylinder, soooooo, .60 over (currently .30) and a new set of forged pistons (already on their way). Heads have been machined, valve job complete, ported and polished and bench flowed and ready to go! Looks like the motor should be ready next week!

Four speed conversion parts have been ordered. Wow, what a ton of parts! Also, ram air/HO exhaust manifolds from RARE and a complete mandrel bent 2-1/2" exhaust is on it's way as well! I went with the new Violator mufflers from Pypes, sure hope they bark!

It's going to be ahwile before we get to the engine, trans, exhaust because the four wheel disc conv. is next up...
