1970 Thunderstang Build

Phinney · May 27th, 2011, 04:13 AM

Good stuff!

Now we have a new project to work on. I just bought myself a 2011 convertible v6. After I finish this build, I am going to strip the entire exterior off of the 2011 and drop a 60s/70s body on top of it! Gonna be sweet!

Havent updated in a while, but progress has been made, and I will post all the pictures when I get enough free time. The front end is welded in, and the entire drivetrain is in with the engine running.

Problem I am having now and I was hoping someone could offer some advice:

tried to bleed the clutch for a few hours unsuccesfully, ended up stripping out the threads of the bleeder screw and had to order a replacement slave cylinder. After many hours and many bottles of fluid, the pedal is still soft, even though I am spraying a solid stream of fluid when I open the valve.

Everything worked perfectly when I drove the thunderbird into my garage to be torn apart. What could I be missing? I obviously cant shift into any gears as it is.

Advice: Take it to a shop. I've never been able to bleed a ford hydraulic clutch (mostly rangers). A local shop charged me $30 to bleed it. I had wasted more $$ in fluid trying to do it myself.
