Replaced Water Pump....

By -
The "New" re manufactured water pump went. Shouldn't have... everything else was new... new radiator/hoses, new belts, rebuilt motor. But leaking out of weep hole and had a lot of play on pulley/fan connection. Use this as a reason to put on shroud (which sucked cheap piece...)

The Cars Story

In 1992, my wife greeted me as I walked through the door with a local classified ad. "Call Now!"  We had been looking for our own classic mustang all our lives . Great to have wife who wants the car then you do! We found our mustang buried under hay in a barn in Massachusett coming from Dearborn Plant in April 1st 1964 on a DSO 11 shipping to Boston.   It wasn't perfect, but the dry hay had frozen it in time of the bicentennial judging from the bumper stickers, and kept all the parts together.  The interior with is console was intact even the dash survived being entombed in a hay.   We bought the car immediately even before we researched and found it was a really early car.   All the panels are stamped March Dates, as well as a blue engine (think came off line from Falcon because building so fast)  The Radiator support (with rusted factory lettering) showed was C337 skid on factory, was a 76A convertible with a 486 black...

3D Printed Parts

Students helped 3D print replacement parts for my car.   Some parts, the Shifter Handle for example, are not reproduced.  You can get a 65 reproduction, but it is larger then the original 64 1/2.  My handle had interior plastic part broken.  Only option was to find and original one, unless my student could use calipers to measure and reproduce. With 3D printers you can print in PLA (Sugar based Filament) ABS (Oil based Filament) Metal or other resins.  Each has advantage over other by flexibility, durability and design capabilities. First measured original to get perimeters for 3D Model. Student used Tinkercad online software to draw cylinder then removed parts to match original part. Printed using PLA on basic Makebot and Flashforge Finder Printer. If wanted it in Metal or other criteria can use Print Services to send part to be printed.
