Hey everyone its been awhile. The 65 is coming along, so I figured I would stop in and give an update. I got the engine running. I built a stand and fired it up in memory of Shelby on the day he died. It runs nice. The freeze plugs leak a little, so I will have to go back and fix that. But other than that the engine is finished. The body was finally dipped and E-coated. The engine compartment and underside are painted. I'm in the middle of getting the suspension on. I'm waiting for the steering box to come in. The rear axle is a 9" in the process of being shortened. After I get it all on wheel and the brakes all set up I'll try to give another update, but for now here is what I've got.

P.S. Sorry about the dust.
