You got the formula numbers right on the front. Provided the epa nazis haven't forced the manufacturer to stop making any of the bases. If they have lead they are forcing them to stop making them. It'll still be a close match tho. Cool he kept all that.
No lead. The other stickers on the side give all the good information and they are still legible. Crazy how something so small so make ya so happy! It was like I just got a new intake or something when I got home with them.
I get it, I do. I'm happy for ya.
Stifflers crossmember, clutch cable, and firewall adjuster will be here tomorrow. Im real close to having most of what I need to get it thrown together.
Hard to believe but it took me almost 3 weeks for a Hurst shifter handle to show up. 1 more piece of the puzzle I guess.
Dropped the car off to get the engine bay fender aprons welded in and painted.

Hopefully have it back soon. Im ready to get this one running and driving!
Good time for a tubular front end .
I thought about it but this one is just going to be a street car that I drive a bunch. Don't need anything to wild.
Unger has it and he is doing the work.
Makes for a better street car
Engine bay is painted. Gonna head over and get it this weekend. Once its back, suspension is going in and then get the motor and tranny in it. Cant wait to get this one running!

Took the stock 8.8 back out last night along with all the front suspension.

Picked up a set of wheels for it also. May try to bring it back to how it used to be in the magazine. Set of 15x8 and 15x4 Centerline Telstars.

Installed the Team Z k member and 1 inch shorter A arms. Have a set of 94 spindles and brakes to put on it yet along with the Strange 10 ways and 12-150 springs.

You could get a hold of her through Brian at Finishline Performance. She is a sweetheart and fun to talk to. Loves her Lincoln Mark VIII she still drives.
I may have to do that! Bruce gets all my pictures through facebook. He started posting some of his old ones yesterday. Brings back a lot of old memories.Quote:

That's gonna be Beautiful when you're done !!!
I have a lot of catching up to do looking over your builds on here. Car looks great Brian btw!
I hit them all a little at a time. Never making huge progress on any of them. It would be so much easier if I could settle with 2 or less at all times! Or at least have them running and do little things at a time.Quote:

Now I cant wait to drive it again!
Headers, transmission crossmember, and some other little odds and ends are on. Getting closer!
