55 E/G – New old ride

SS Pete…..Tires work pretty good on the street but not been to the track yet. The Hoosiers are soft rubber and winkle sidewalls same as the other tires we had on the Mustang and they worked good at the track.
Backup lites will work on a separate switch but not connected yet. The wires are in place but not connected.
We worked the past three days on front suspension, tried to raze the front end up but didn’t work as planned. We are back to the original position on the front struts.
Windows now have butterfly Dzus fasteners and no need for a tool to remove them anymore.

Pete ….Wipers are going to be a challenge. The original location for the wiper arms is where the distributor is positioned. We have thought about this problem but so far have not got a very good solution. Even thought about a manual wiper for the driver side for the emergencies that you mentioned above.

Pat….I like that idea, thanks. e-bay $55.17.

Finally got all the lights wired and working. Today finished the inside dome light, the outside gauge lights, the backup lights and front parking lights.
Glad to have all the wiring done so I can move on to something more fun.

Thanks to SS Pete we now have a working horn, activated from the steering wheel horn button. We are still trying to make this a more streetable race car. Every light socket on the car now has a bulb in it and every bulb works.
More changes are coming after some parts arrive soon.
We are coming up with new ideas to avoid doing the much needed but dreaded bodywork.

I could have lost my co-pilot for the summer car shows if we didn’t cool down the inside of the car. So we are working to fix that problem. I think it was a good idea and a challenge also. Got all the hard parts mounted, now need the plumbing and electrical connections.
We’ll be cool at Lebanon Valley this year. 🙂
