Update......

Swapped the radiator with my original yesterday.... no leaks now..
Bolted the header to the bumper, and put the front lights in today, still have to get some bulbs and put a few more bolts in the fenders, and put the inner fenders back on.

Noticing problems with the aod not going into gear randomly.... think I need to change the filter... I hope.

Car is mostly running real good. has some querky episodes once in a while... I'll have to check for codes and recheck the timing and idle.
Does it mostly when the motor is started and not warmed up... Still using the original sensors from the parts bird....which I think also had the same problem I remember

Got an idea on how to replace the rod in the shifter... Hope it works

Need to tighten the exhaust pipes better, and re position the drivers side hanger

Also need to fix the drivers window that fell off the track....
I will update tomorrow, with some pics of the entire car back together...
hope it doesn't rain

You've come a very long way. I liked your old exhaust setup, but...



I like this setup better, even if your ler is a bit crooked.



After re-reading the first page or two, you were taking an hours count. Did you ever come up with a final hours count?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

No, I totally gave up counting after cutting most of the panels off, and upgrading a bunch of stuff.. I also spent 7 grand more then I was originally planning when I decided to "just do a little body work" .... lol
