The car has been sanded and blocked.

The bonnet and boot are stripped of paint chemically, holes from a long removed luggage rack are now revealed.

The body is being sanded the original paint is still showing from under the parts that were not removed when it was painted red.

A few dents are addressed and then covered with fiberglass filler.

The car is pretty much stripped of the parts that will need to be removed.

Starting to strip the car down to be painted.

Installed an electric fan. This one is a 10″ Hayden fan with thermostatic control relay. I mounted it to two alluminum bars than that bolted into the holes next to each of the holes the radiator is bolted to.

Tigers are usually plagued by overheating and this tiger was no different. The core was 10% blocked and a “new” one was needed. A second original tiger core was cleaned and rodded. The entire assembly was then painted with radiator black paint from Eastwood.

Using the stock Ford small block adapter this oil filter fits directly onto the engine. A tiger with headers may not be able to use this solution.
