It has been awhile since the last update/ post of my FB. The progress has been slow, but I hope the more difficult items are behind me now.

So far this what I have replaced:
Both door skins
Both rear quarters
Drivers side cowl panel
Repaired cowl panel

Mods that are started or near complete:
GW coilover front suspension
Martz Chassis 4-link
MS cobra brake kit
TCP power r&p
TCP motor mounts
Custom subframe conn.

And for the body:
Smooth firewall
Smooth cowl
Smooth antenna
Flush mounted rear taillights
Removed drip rails
Cleaned up alot of the engine bay

What are on the To Do list:
Install doors and fenders
Mock up motor with trans to establish ride height
Build trans crossmember
Get driveshaft cut
Begin building floor and trunk with sheetmetal
Build rotisserie
The list goes on and on...you get the point



I would like to say thanks to this forum and to all members here. If it were not for you all, guys like myself probably would not attemp a backyard build.

Thanks to Mustang Steve for the great product and info.. And thanks to 68FBJJ2109 for the brake hubs.

Here are a few pictures. I got to looking back through all the photos I have taken, and noticed that knowone is in the pictures. Who's the madman behind all of the redundant questions on this site ? Forced my wife to come out to the shop and take a few between coats of primer.

Thanks alot.
The wheels are Ze forge 18x8 and 18x12. The fronts are 4.5" backspace and the rears are 7". They are wrapped in pilot sports in 245x40x18 and 335x30x18. These are going to stay on the car.
As for the motor, I have an EFI 418 Windsor with hyd. roller making somewhere near 500hp on motor. It can be ran on my engine stand. I do not think I would want any hotter of a motor for going in a street car.
