The shoehorn a month ago would have been great!!!

Updates!!! WIth the deadline quickly approaching we finally received another shipment of parts... The front end is completely fiberglass and needed a lot of love to make it all fit.. We put our crew on the car hard Friday and Saturday to try and get some major work accomplished... Here are some fresh pics... Stay tuned for more !!! First pic you can see how much extra room there is in the engine compartment!! Third pic is the Ring Brothers export brace kit. Since we built the shock towers and raised them from the factory position we have to machine the pieces down that mount to them so they clear the hood. Fourth pic is the Vintage Air assy mounted so we can begin to fab the dash. Pics five and six are inside the truck.. On the right is the battery tray we fabbed that will hold two Optima yellow tops and on the left is the air compressors, valves and fuse panel/wiring harness. Pic seven is the power steering res mounted to the inner fender. Pic eight, fitting the front fenders. Pic nine, preping the firewall for pedal assy. pic ten is a panel we fabbed the mounts in the front of the rear quarter panel and will house the Kicker component speakers.

first pic you can see the panel for the speakers in place.. Second Pic we had to cut the taillight panel out of the body to fit the new Shelby panel in from Tony Branda Mustangs. Pics three and four are the body side vents that we had to cut in to the shell. This body was a 69 and the Boss Snake is modeled after a 70 so we filled the upper vents and made the lowers.

Looking good. When is your deadline?

Car has to be at the Scottsdale Goodguys show March 12th..... :thumbsup:

Good thing you and your crew don't require much sleep!

Sleep??? Tell me more about this so called sleep thing!!! :lol:

Few more pics with the front end and tail panel mocked up.. Currently the dash being built... We added to the lower bumper to tighten the gap where it meets the eyebrow molding as well... Its starting to come together !!! :woot:

That is all a part of "living the dream" of being a hot rod builder!:lol: Not exactly the rock star lifestyle that we signed up for!

The car is looking good. You have 42 days before you need to leave for Scottsdale. If you work 24 hours a day that gives you 1,008 hours. Should be just enough time to get the car completed in! Have fun.

:rofl: We've been making the guys in the shop ride around inside the trailer when we go places... Its almost like NASA conditioning / testing :goofy: ... We might need the 30 hours during the drive to button up some loose ends.. !!
