Rats. Yeah, once you're 50 memory's the second thing that goes.......

There's a link. Yes it's the SC drive with the 340hp Quasi-Cam.

Mr. Escobar, been to your neighborhood and back twice, it's no big deal.

Am I understanding that the drivetrain is complete and mounted- the only thing the car needs to run is the engine and trans peripheries (wiring, linkage, pedals, etc)?

Drive shaft hooked up?

Rear end finished?

Motor mounts?

Obviously, it will need a lot of detailing, paint, interior, etc. I'm trying to figure out the progress on the mechanics.

I am in the process of fabbing a firewall, it's a bit farther along than in the photos. My plan was to pull the motor-tranny one last time for paint. The clutch and flywheel are out, but were to be put in at the last installation. Drive shaft hooked up? No. A shorter one has to be made up with SC yoke up front and mustang yoke in back. Rear end finished? Yes. Motor mounts? Done. Resting on the frame rails, two hole need to be drilled in each. Obviously, it will need a lot of detailing, paint, interior, etc. I'm trying to figure out the progress on the mechanics. Radiator is there, intercooler is mounted, needs wiring, fuel, the supercharger intake tubes may need reconfiguring due to engine bay width. Another 10 minute job.

Detailing yes, but you're starting with a solid body. The minimal rust at the rear of each wheel well could be replaced with flares.

agreed, but someones got to convince me that I dont need that project...thing is, I dont see many good reasons standing in the way. So I manufactured the distance bit. Thus far its working, but who knows for how long...Tax return time is coming, heres to hoping youve already sold it by then

Flat towing/using a dolly is legal in NY?
Compared to the stock location, how far back will the shifter be located, once completed? Or will it look like one in a Cobra., ie, pointing fwd.

Miles on the engine?

Bartering is good. Imagine for a minute that you do have something I wanted; you do, it's cash.

Now take something or a few things that = $1k and trade it to someone for cash. Then you come and see me and we swap your cash for the 'Tina.

You get what you desire, the third party gets something he desires, I get a hole in my garage and something I desire, it's a win, win, win!

See how easy that was?
