I've been restoring and modifying a 1966 Ford Mustang Restomod with engine, suspension, and brake upgrades, and new paint and interior.
I'm also fixing up a former-road-racer, supercharged 2001 Bullitt Mustang.
And my '57 Chevy Bel Air needs just about everything.
My blog chronicles my mods and repairs, road trips, car shows, and new stuff along the way!

Balancer Blues...
When I realized that the engine block in my car was sourced from a 1968 302 rather than a 1966 289, I decided to replace the lighter 6.5-pound balancer (painted blue in the foreground above) with a heavier duty 10.5-pound unit. I bought a Romac 0209, but unfortunately I didn't have any luck with it.
The Romac arrived with some junk in the clearcoat, which surprised me, but I was willing to deal with that since it wouldn't be noticed much, except by me. But the real problem was the lack of timing marks from 0 through 30... Oops!
