'72T project part I. Introducing.......... Tangerina Jolie
The arrival:
   Look at this! Untouched upper strut mounts. Never been aligned.   Door hinge bolts are untouched since they left Stuttgart!  The patient ready for the heart transplant: a short-stroke 2.5, 10/1 CR, S cams and ports. Basically a high compression de-stroked 2.7RS engine on a shuffle-pinned mag case.

Ohio to LA to L.A. What a trip Tangerina is having.
I can't wait to see the finished product. I know it will be done right. Tyson, will you spill the beans about the plan for her or is it just a tease until its all done?

There are more pics coming. The short story is that after I got the car, I realized it was a low-mileage "survivor", so any thoughts of modification were out the window. Just some mild suspension upgrades in the form of stiffer torsions, and shocks, and lower ride height. I don't want to disturb anything, or do any welding beyond the spot rust repair required.

Some more progress:
After installing my 15X7 RSR finish Fuchs, new spring plate bushings, rear torsions, lowering etc.   Archeological dig, or oil tank removal? I must have removed 20# of oil/dirt from around the oil tank. The plus side? The oil crud preserved the tank. Only one small rust pin hoile that was easily repaired. Tank is now restored, the sender repaiered and resealed, and the rest of the oil system completed.

She should be running tonight. I just need to tidy up the fuel system, and fill the tank.
It'll take every ounce of restraint not to blast her around the block with no headlights or plates.

Wow, very cool, Tyson. I remember you were talking about her when I was in the shop. Very cool that "she's" shaping up ...and one of my favorite long-hood colors! You keeping her?

Gotta say, the pics don't do it justice. The body gaps on this car are so nice... aside from a couple of rust spots, the original paint is plenty good enough. I wonder if this car will ever really see the track...? If it does, i bet it'll have protective plastic all over the nose!
Funny thing, I'm not sure any customer car has progressed as quickly as Tangerina Jolie has... :-)

Nice work Tyson! You made more progress on this car in 24hrs than I would have made in the next 3 years!
This is a really good car. Overall, its probably in better shape than my Sepia car was when I bought it. If I had the space, I would have kept it. I know I'll never have a shot at another car like this, but Im really glad to see that its going to stay on Pelican. Last edited by Shuie; 02-28-2006 at 06:32 PM.. |

I love it when the stars line up like this. The right car, at the right time, in the right hands. It's good for the car and good for Tyson. And we get to watch, so we all win.
Congrats and can't wait to see it (or ride in it)! Don
