Since I've seen more activity at the local graveyard than the members of this organization on this wonderful website, I thought I would post a few pix of Mr. Taylors Tiger. Mr. Taylor was the prior owner and now is deceased.
Lucky for me I now am the current keeper. I removed the rear end to have a traction lok/ posi installed. No self respecting hot rod has an open rear end.......that ain't natural in my mind.
New rear springs, fresh coat o' paint and some of my fav's.... Koni's. It's a thing with me.......Koni's.
Had the drive shaft done with new Spicer U-joints with a new balance just for good measure. A coat of Por-15 and check it off as done. Brakes and all the stuff that helps stop a car.
Next work will be the front suspension. New springs, new bushings and ball joints (thank you Mr. Willet). Another coat of Por-15 with a dash of chassis coat to dull it out a bit and..............I am all excited. The steering boots were rotten, of course there was no oil/lube in the rack. Will remedy that.
Also got the re-built distributor back from Tim O'Conner.............other than the carburetor the rest of the engine now looks weak. I live with it for now.
Rant: Even the old guys at the 356 Registry website post.........alot. What's with this group? If it wasn't for eight to ten of us nothing would get posted.
