Chucky’s 1966 Mustang rebuild

Wow ,that's a lot of heat when you brazed them. I never used a rose bud tip soldering copper. Whatever works for you. Not being critical, just commenting. If you ever have any questions then don't hesitate to ask. I have a little background in welding, machining and fabricating.

I’m torn on the platform. I would really like it to look (close to) proper, for the year it is. A couple of factors include...my wife and kids want the platform (I might as well stop typing here ) and I have considered using it as a way to “haul” a lily pad float. Does anyone here use theirs as storage space?

I've done multiple searches both on site and off and can't find the picture. Could anyone find the picture of our late member Pat with that rather large tube in the back of his Mustang. It was at Green Lake I believe at the 2007 reunion. I also remember lots of working over he got from us!

More information would be helpful

Was this alleged Mustang really a 72 Skier?

Was this tube inside the boat or tied to the ring on the back of the boat?

Might this picture or something like it be what you're looking for?

That's the best I could come up with

The thread with that one is in the link below

Hey, at least you remembered the right year

Maybe the Photobucket monster made it disappear

I took two weeks off the boat. I needed to do some household chores like...hook up all new kitchen appliances, start working on the lawn, oil change on the daily drivers, etc etc...
Have you seen my hose clamp collection? (Shameless increase of post count)

I drove through what looked like a war zone today, on my way to work. Active fires burning, all 5 gas stations on Snelling Avenue looted and destroyed. Graffiti, garbage, smoke and bummed out regular people looking in disbelief. This entire pandemic (which is turning out to be a complete overreaction IMO) was completely removed from everyone’s thoughts. 10,000+ friggin’ lakes, and I can’t wait to get out on one. I’ve never seen anything like this. Even the homeless people were no where in sight.

But, I did get my evac fan all hooked up! It’s beautiful, I must say. It flows double what the factory fan did. And, it’s all plumbed with real pipe! Not that accordion flex crap. The big deal is, my gas tank fits and will be mounted this weekend and that means the wiring harness is on schedule.

Pandemic? Riots? Looting? The National Guard? Screw that noise, I’m working on the boat.

Had to shut it off after 10 seconds due to oil pressure gauge and sending unit being not compatible with each other.  These parts were not selected by me.  The gauge is Faria and the sender is Puralator.  I ordered the Faria sender today, after troubleshooting.  It sounded amazing...

Thanks for the update Mr. Little Birdy!

Sounds like a great outcome!
