well, i think i've got a-lot of work ahead of me!!!! in october i got a $4,000 loan. but i didn't know if i could have it or not cuz i was think of getting some land in texas. well screw the land, i got parts!!

i went to Vages last weekend and got a aod from a guy on VMF, pretty cool guy!!. i got the aod(91 mustang) 600 miles since rebuilt,2000 stall t/c crossmembers(65-66 and a 67-70), tvc, 3-28oz 164 teeth flexplates, shifter adaptor, block plate and the yoke. 550 for all, not bad!! i figured out that i don't need the pigtail on my 69 cuz the switch is in ths shifter, sweet!!

i also ordered my tcp rack and pinion from johns mustangs in san diego, baer tracker bumpsteer tierods, and front bear track discswith new powder coated 70 spindels to match my touring rear discs. also have the global west strutrods to put on. i also have new upper ball-joints, third member with 325/1 conventional. i'm also redoing all the fuel line with stainless.

i plan on ripping the front suspension off(most is new anyway), doing a shelby drop, cutting a third coil off my 600pound 1 in drop front springs, rebuilding the upper control arms and and replacing the end links. i also want to use kybs all the way around. wish me luck!!!!

i'll get pics and give you guys updates later.

Geez... now that's what I call ordering parts. You should have a heck of a car when your done, but you probably won't have much cash left to spend for a while. Seems a fair trade...

As always, post pics.

hope to be getting a loan myself in late spring/early summer so i can do some of those things myself, except i won't get the TCP rack, probably a randalls rack or the one sixto has been working on with speeddirect, i'll also be getting paint and bodywork done too, and most likely get the AOD in as well, good luck and definitely post lots of pics
