1966 U13 roadster

[Henry66]

Stopped raining long enough for me to pull it out of the mud in the back yard. Cleaning up the engine compartment for a little paint. Had a mess of black carbon crust all over the firewall. Only really bad spot is under the battery box.

Re: 1966 U13 roadster

Thanks Broncrick, You guys are way ahead of me on the mod stuff. This one was so pure and a U13 Roadster that I'm going to keep it that way. !70 CI six and all. I going to name it "My Little Pony".

I think you are the first U13 roadster on here. Looking foward to the build.
I would name it "My Little MANLY Pony" though... hahaha

Sorry Henry but we're gonna need more pics... Let's see some shots of the whole shebang!

And my vote is that you call it "six shooter" in respect to the 170...

Re: 1966 U13 roadster

My Bronco started life with a 170 I do miss it for wheeling in the rocks, thing never let me down. Well till I blew out the clutch and from there 250 six than a 5.0 now 5.8

My fab skills are weak but I stumbled on a neat trick today. While looking for a piece of tin to repair the rusted out battery area I found an air condition casing.
Nice gauge, powder coated, 90 degree lip. So I made a template, cut it out and screwed it on. I like it.

You have a U13!? I don't like you anymore. LOL. Just kidding. That is great! I'll be watching this build for sure.

Re: 1966 U13 roadster

Alabama boy frame up. What an erector set! I can't stop taking it apart. It is in much better shape that I thought. Could it possibly be 34,500 original miles?

No pictures because "security token missing"? Tried three times.

Re: 1966 U13 roadster

I may have got two pictures up. Much rather work on My Little Pony that try to post pics here. Any advice on pic/posts?

Re: 1966 U13 roadster

My Little Pony becomes the Six Shooter. (Thanks Fungus).

Nice! What's next on the list?

Re: 1966 U13 roadster

Keeping it stock and have all new bushings and mounts. The tub is in very good shape except floor pans. I have a drivers side pan. Next I hang the tub sideways by the roll bar in the old shade tree and paint the already prepped underside. I hope to be driving it by 4th of July.

Re: 1966 U13 roadster

Still hanging high. Got a little paint on it. Might have to make it all one piece pretty soon.
