Zephyrbob's Pipe Dream

hey guys,
Here are some pictures of my zephyr pipe dream.

Nice car Bob,

Those wheels look great on that thing!!:)

I've always had a soft spot for the Fairmonts and Zephers!!

Keep up posted!

Bill

You are 1 steering column closer. Sorry to say I made 1 cut in the wrong place... looks like the reverse sending unit at the trans, so you should have enough room to make a good splice. All the wiring is there including the fuse block, blower motor connections, headlight switch and broken (lol) door light switches. You will need a new rag joint, but the firewall gasket is good. Key is included also.

In August you owe me a roll of electrical tape for all patches I had to make to the cuts on my arms.

Back to cutting and getting those bolts you want.

Tom

Nice ride Bob. The wheels look great, did you make your own k-member spacers? Who's coil overs are those?

what motor mounts is that going to need? i still have those trans-dapts you can have for next to nothing if thats what it needs? let me know. i have zero use for them.

thanks guys! bill, my 25 year old step son thinks they look gay, but what does a kid know! tom, i will give you two rolls of tape!, bolts and flexplate deal will be nice! mike, i used approx 3x10 1/2 alum plate, stacked till i felt good with old head bolts to hold them, coil over and all the supension stuff is D and D motorsport lol. 70bbtorino, thanks for offer. i do have some of the ford swap mounts but who knows if they fit as advertized! zbob

btw, carls short bock is next to it ready on the stand. zbob

Lookin Good Man

gents, spent the day wrestling with the rear end. me and strong man charlie-son, lol. anyway take a looky, zbob.

It looks like your moving along bob.
Keep us updated.

It's getting there Bob! Feels good, doesn't it?

Tom

Sorry that I forgot to bring the axle shaft to Pueblo, but I also didn't give you the spare spiders and c-clips in the toolbox. If I come across another axle, I will let you know and get them boxed up and on the way.

It was good to meet you there in Colorado, wish we had more time to hang out... next time for sure.

Tom

Where are the update's Bob? lol

Tom

tom! it is a roller! after five years and 5000 bucks it can be re(stored) to its official garage. lol. the finishing touches are the alloy usa 5 lug axles. for the front billet spacers allowing my left over 06 gt rims to clear the 95 gt rotors and calipers.
......so for the total list of parts>on the rear, a 8.8 with new 3.27 gears, new axles, new tracklock plates, new five lug drums, new lowers, uppers, shocks, brake shoes, hardware and wheel cylinders.
......on the front> new manual flaming river rack, new steering shaft along with the longer tie rod ends, 95gt spindles, new hubs, rotors, calipers, lakewood struts, coil overs (175p-14in springs) tube kmember, a arms, sn95 ball joints. alum spacers.
.......so the next step is to frabricate new tran member mounts. the early fox mounts are too narrow for the double hump trans member. zbob

You need to sweet talk your wifey a bit... you promised new pictures of the car.

Tom

Ya Bob I'm with Tom
How about some new pics

okay gents. take a look at the pics and see iffen you can figure out whether i am a baby boomer or a generation X freak, lol.
.....new axles, painted brake drums, fronts spacers and a shot of toms pony emblem(the mighty zeph is now a zephyrstang!....got to love them four eyes with shiny front end.

Looking good Bob. I like the wheels, when's it going to move under it's own power?

She's coming along good there Bob!! Thats a good bit of tire under the back of that!!

Bill

Looking good Bob. My opinion is more towards the GXF. They are much better and easier to deal with as a roller than a jack stand queen, aren't they? I dread putting mine in the position of roller- its near twice the weight of yours and it's uphill both ways.lol

Tom

Happy Birthday Bob... got any updates?

Tom

Z....Those wheels are gay......Have a good Birthday

lol thanks guys.....the car us on hold for now. worried about work for the winter, oh well. next step is to send the flexplate and converter to alan pope for problem solving....thanks again, bobn

Don't worry Bob... cold is coming and the money will be rolling. As long as you have some oakpane you are fine.

Tom

It's headed your way Bob. 3 below zero here this morning. :o

What's up with the pit bike... you riding it to work yet?

Tom

Hope you have plenty of oakpane... I hear its cold and white there.
Merry Christmas
Tom

Tom

Bob... how is your timing cover? Did you get a chance to mock up/check your hood clearance with your intake yet? If you get a chance, look and see... let me know next time you have me on the phone.

Tom

Who is that old guy in the pics? Hahaha

Good to see you making some progress in 5 years. 5 years and 2 kids later have choked my yee hah budget some.

I hope you get many garage doors to do.

Eric

I am just hoping he gets that thing to Colorado this year!
Tom

Heck Bob... I was talking about the pit bike... now I see what I wrote looked like. If ya had a land yacht like mine, you could put it on the roof. ;)
