I'm thinking that my middle son's wants might be a little harder than the current project.

This is what he likes, laying body of course. I'm thinking Lightning drivetrain. thank goodness there are still a few years left before we'll start.

I may have to get with you on the F100 airbag project, I used to do that before I got into mustangs. I recommend ditching the I-beams and converting to a GM or mustang2 style front suspension, otherwise it won't be extremely difficult to do!!

Wow, you truly are a great dad. My dad had a 69 Mach that he always said we were going to build together but he was always too busy to ever get it finished. I remember the excitement I had every time I thought he was going to actually begin properly restoring her so I can only imagine how excited your kids are.

Thanks for all the kind words. I chased the dollar untill my back made me quit. I've been given another perspective whether I wanted it or not. It's been a blessing and I intend to make the best of it.

Here are some up to date photos:

The track setup. If I can get the front to work with the calipers on.

He's ready to hear it breath, and me too. We are getting close. We might be ready to turn it over by this weekend, well maybe.


More pictures coming soon,
Mika

Well the bad news is that the Saleens were in the deal for the drag tires, but the good news is stealth black frs wrapped with invos are on order. I can't wait to see them on.

Ahhh oh well, But I was thinking when I saw this car finished some flat black fr500s would look killer on it.
