Just post pictures of your Kar(s)!

Hi, RHD when I got.

Here's my Kar...

Special note: I would not mimic any of these paint marks on your Kars, these are very specific to exactly what they were marking the week my car was produced at San Jose, this is very plant and time specific.

Interesting. When does an engine need this level of rebuild? I'm curious because I pulled my K-engine out but didn't go through this level of detail. Should I line hone the main caps and have my motor balanced?

Evan,

I wanted the motor to look an run

great, I did a lot more than what

the pictures show, replaced everything internally even the crank

( got from Fred) it runs extremely

well, since I wanted to do it only once

I spared no expense, it was worth it.

Evan,

on the previous forum before the crash I wrote a 3 part story on the risks of buying kars at auction, an I’m

talking from experience because it

happened to me. The Kar I purchased at auction was advertised

as being totally rebuilt, motor, trans.

rearend, undercarriage etc. etc. it was totally false, so whenever I do

anything to the Kar I go all the way,

then I know it’s correct.

Hey Guys,

I no longer own these k codes, but with fond memories and lots of sweat equity passed them on to happy new owners...

Both original K codes.

The left picture of the Fairlane was less than a month, after I bought it, in July of 67. The right, about a year later.

Got the Mustang in '69, is a 65 1/2, originally a lime type green, I mix the paint for this color, based on the Aquamarine Blue but, more green & black in it.

New to me, #'s matching motor and transmission, and I believe the rear end. Some work to do but the bones are there.
