kid442 Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 John Thanks for the kind comment! It has been fun and we enjoyed Hershey so much. All the people made it worthwhile. Should be back next year with the complete front suspension rebuilt and some other refinements. Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you tell me where you found those tires? I could use a set for our '64 Chrysler. Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kid442 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Next step in the restoration of the Jetfire. Complete front suspension rebuild. Lots of cleaning and wire brushes. More work but will be worth it. My #1 mechanic on the job!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1lark Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Congratulations!! What's in the jug under the hood - is it a NOS jug of the special Jetfire injection fluid (can't remember the correct name)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid442 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 New update! Installed the correct 10" flywheel, clutch assy, and super T10. The stock t10 had a 2:56 first gear and was hard to get it moving with slipping the clutch. The new trans has a 3:42 first gear. That makes a big difference!! Next install the new replated rear bumper. Still more to do!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
