Looks awesome, and congrats on the lift!

Re: 1966 F100 EcoBoost Engine Swap & 1966 427 Project How could you resist? That would buy at least a quart of paint for your next project!

Re: 1966 F100 EcoBoost Engine Swap & 1966 427 Project With AZ minimum wage at 11/hr that puts into perspective how much it really takes to restore something of this caliber. A fair wage for your work is probably closer to $50+/hr so re-affirms how underpaid you are. I enjoy your updates...

Re: 1966 F100 EcoBoost Engine Swap & 1966 427 Project Do you have to prep the aluminum for paint differently than steel?

Very nice. I just re-read your entire thread and am re-inspired to get started on my project that has gotten pushed down the ever growing list of priorities. How is the stone holding up? I really like the combination of stone, metal, and cedar.

Never saw one of those before. Looks like a strong contender. Thanks!

The counter bore is too deep to fit anything wider than the screw head. That tool would work. Now that I'm thinking about it more, Im considering a 1/4" rotator ratchet and grind the square drive into a slotted screwdriver and dedicate the tool for only this purpose. All the difficult to...

I'm an engineer, over doing it kinda my thing!

I've actually been impressed with the quality and design of the machine. Maintenance wasn't first priority in the design, but I've worked on way worse and this stays way cleaner.. Every part on it is beautifully machined and precision ground. It has 4 heads with 15 needles each and probably...
