The Ford GT transaxle and shifter arrived today. It is used but only has 780 miles on it. We also made a run to National Parts Depot today as well and got all the sheetmetal for the project. The transaxle looks very cool. Progress..

Is the project still alive?

Yes, it is slow because I am trying to acquire a real Ford GT engine. I am negotiating a deal on a brand new one right now but haven't closed it yet and I have line on a rollover car that I should know more about next week. I have a Shelby GT 500 motor as my backup plan. We should start building the chassis in the next month or so but we would like to have the motor we are going to use when we start the process. We are building another 69 mustang fastback right now for SEMA this year and it has gotten us even more excited to build this project. It is going to be awesome.

Thanks
