Some more updates, been working on the car a lot, but little things seem to take forever! I think I'm done with most of the wires, and I mounted the ecm under the dash like I mentioned previously. It turned out pretty clean, almost all of the wires are hidden exept the injector wires. Scored some nice fuel rails in exchange for some parts I didn't need, so I added some more bling to the top of the engine, I'm hoping to fire it up in a few weeks. Also sent my Power Steering pump off to Turn One to get reworked and the flow rates adjusted for the AGR (mustang) Rack that will be going in. My local hose shop made me some lines for the clutch and PS. Hopefully this weekend I'll pully the tranny out and install the new RAM slave cylinder that works with the T10 I'm running. Inch by Inch I'm getting there, but it takes Forever!

DISCLAIMER! All the front sheet metal is getting replaced after the mock up session is over, so no comments about the rust please! :)

I got them from coolwelder62 in the post above. It's what he uses on his subframes, I made mine to be similar.

Looking good, Its coming along nicely since the last time I saw it. Maybe it will be hitting the road when I get home again.

John, Hit me up when you get back I'll buy you a couple of beers! I'm shooting for some shakedown runs sometime this spring. Not too much to go before I can tow it to the autox and thrash on it. Only big money left is a steering rack (and front end sheet metal) the rest is just little odds and ends. Still havn't fired the motor but I know it ran from the donor car, so I'm crossing my fingers that I didn't screw up any of the wires! I pulled a ton out of the factory harness. Gotta finish off the clutch hydraulics and mount the sway bar still.

More updates from today! wow, I'm turning into a post whore! must mean I'm actually making progress. My friend let me "store" his plasma cutter in my garage because he hardly ever uses it. So I took the chance to cut out some brackets to mount my sway bar today. No new steel here, just some random part of a computer rack that I brought home from work.
