Right now I am in the parts gathering stage. I have my Eaton, I just ordered my front end kit, and in 2 weeks we plan on going to look at doner cars.

This is the front end kit I just ordered.

I so wish I had never sold my 67 Coupe I had back in 95. Bought it for 300 bucks. Put a 351 in it out of an old pick up truck and a C4 transmission I got for 100 bucks. Was a fun car but then I joined the military and stupid me sold it Ah well, live and learn I guess. If I knew then what I know now about cars it would be one bad mother.

Pics of the organ doner car and front end parts.

The place that I bought the organ doner car from had a 03 Cobra in the shop. I was able to see all the parts I still need for the Eaton install. We are beginning to debate weather we will have enough in the budget for all the parts. When I get all the parts delivered to me that I have bought, I will do a check list to see what else is needed. If it is going to cost more than another $1k, I am not going to do it. At that point I will be unloading what I have.

I got some work done today. Not as much as I wanted though. We had to do some organizing in the shed to get ready for the parts car, and that took way longer than expected.

But I removed all the front suspension parts. here is where I am at right now.
