Wheels will be ariving on tuesday! Tires are in already.

Picked up the last moldings this weekend at the Iola swap meet! Now they are off to the polisher to get a few little dents taken care of and shined up!

last week of being busy and will try to get front end together and the wheels mounted and next week we are going to hit it hard!

The wheels came!

We put the valve stems in and took the center locks off the wheels to get the tires put on. We were going to have the tires mounted today but they guy was out of the shop, So instead we took the time to start putting the front end together!

Front end is complete now except for the swaybar that just came in. We are working on getting the chassis rolling so we can drop the body on next week some time! We will be steam cleaning the rear end to get all of the grime and stuff out per instructions and assembling the rear end tomorrow!

Rolled the chassis outside today and steam cleaned the rear end! Got all the grime out of it in preparation to start assembling the rear end so next week we can roll the chassis under the body for the first time!

Welded some tubing on the chassis so its eaiser to move the body and get it squared off.

Very, very nice Tyler. I love the wheels and that chassis looks great.
Should be a killer build.:thumbsup:

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...wmo8/009-6.jpg

have to notch just under the firewall so the frame can sit all the way down and it should be very close!



I need a project name! What do you guys have in mind?

Tyler,

Great looking manifold/ITB setup.

How about 'Project FAFIAROF'



(Finally a Ford in a really old Ford)

:D

Thanks!



Thats a funny name! I kinda like it but its to hard to say.. :lol:

That motor combo will be perfect for that car

Thanks Tracy!

Just want to be a little creative :thumbsup:

Got the body down on the chassis finally! Put 5/16" body rubbers on the chassis like it will have when we bolt it down for the final time.

Working on the mounts now!

Nice progress pics Tyler.
Love the wheels on there. Great choice.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Its coming! Wont be too much progress this week but we'll see :)

Thank you!

I will have a side shot when the body is mounted and i can roll it outside to get a full shot. not enough room in the shop :thumbsup:

That looks great Tyler! Dontcha just love how that wheel tucks? Congrats man, now giddy-up! :thumbsup:

X2 :thumbsup:

Thanks guys! I love the way the wheel tucks! however it is still not low enough for me! ;) I have the shocks in the middle hole for right now so i can always move it to get it a little lower and when the weights in there we will be in buisness!

Hung the fender on today

For those of you who asked for a side shot this is the best i can do till the body is mounted!

VERY nice Tyler!:thumbsup:

Thanks Eric! Its coming together!

Looks great Tyler.
Hopefully you get to work on her this weekend.

Thanks! We added a little to our stands today so we have more room to get under there and weld the mounts easier! Were working on mouting the body now that we have it all squared off!

Gus found a motor and he is working on getting it and i should recieve that soon! :D cant wait!

Tyler,

That was quick. :thumbsup:

I wondered how hard it would or wouldn't be to get a 5.0 Coyote.

BTW what kind of feedback have you been getting from potential buyers of your Merc?

Gus told me that out of 12 wrecked 2011 gt mustang's he has had 9 of them!

The merc went down the road to my grandpa's brother. Worked out good! :thumbsup: The car was worth every bit we were asking for it and no one would even offer or anything on the car. The market is extremely tough to sell cars in right now unless you can steal it!

This weekend my grandpa and i headed to Louisville for the NSRA street rod nationals and had a blast!

Bought a lot of parts! Gus from Cleveland pick a part called me and told me he got the mustang and asked if i wanted the motor. I said Of course! :thumbsup: He said it had 1200 miles on it so thats perfect!

Had a fantastic weekend and cant wait to get back wrenchin on the 55!
