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!

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!

Tyler,

That was quick.

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! 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! 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!
