(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0323.jpg) it took me hours to dig out that broken spring ::) (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0325.jpg) some of the parts i used .. a few nos bits and even nos wagon springs :o (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0372.jpg) i had all control arms blasted and powder coated . the cross member was 2 packed.. had some nuts and bolts zinced too !

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/Picturefxfjday067Custom.jpg) (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN1039Custom.jpg) motors now in and freshly painted , with many period speco bits .

Your car is starting to look very good, love the old Holley, what a great period piece, and with adjustable jets also if I am not mistaken Certainly starting to look the goods, do you intend to have it ready for Orange? It is better to fit the vacuum advance, as this will ensure better fuel economy. Keith Title: Re: the rebirth of fc 219 Post by: NosFEratu on November 03, 2009, 04:20:37 PM I agree with Keith - looking very nice! ;D
Title: Re: the rebirth of fc 219 Post by: zulu on November 03, 2009, 07:43:14 PM looking very cool coolaride, nice coil, are they new decals or did you find a new coil :o
the stewart warner gauges look good too great to see the progress Title: Re: the rebirth of fc 219 Post by: coolaride on November 03, 2009, 07:49:57 PM thanks for the replys
Gary , nos coil , had it kicking around for a while , glad i got to use it as i like the look of the lucas coil too ! Keith , not too sure about the next nats , will have to wait and see . good pick up on the jets ! hope they make it easier to tune . :) Title: Re: the rebirth of fc 219 Post by: CraigA on November 03, 2009, 08:21:38 PM Car is looking really good coolaride.

Great to see any progress forward. Excuse my ignorance, but what is the clear bottle inthe engine bay beside where you find the chassis number, behind the brake booster?
