Keep up the good work and lets show them how to do this stuff!

I just met you and already I like you...but am a little pissed at you. I checked out your build thread. I have a soft spot for that body. My cousin and I spent some time in Cornwall trying out for one of the local hockey teams. We rode in his 86 Turbo Coupe back and forth across the border for a few weeks. Cut to the chase on that Cougar already, I don’t like living in the past!

I gotta go bring my block to the machine shop. That’s happening today...in real time!

Heading North to Concord, NC! Wonder what this thing will look like when it comes home? Still not 100% sure where their work will end and mine will begin. Depends on how good they are at sales and pricing I guess.

Dropped off the block on Thursday. Met Jeff, unloaded and talked about the build sheet. He showed me around his shop, checked out their dyno room. The shop is unbelievable! Full of machinery. Really cool experience and Jeff was great!

Why are there not more people clamoring for updates?
Like I said before THIS is pro touring! If wretched excess isn't your plan its just a restomod. Those cars can also be amazing but just like the pro street movement of the 80s and 90s, there is a reason the "Pro" is attached to the title.
GIMME MORE!

Since last update:

Had to deal with my fuel cell can. Cut it in half and extended the length by 1/2”. My 22gal. fuel cell fits now. Added some handles to the retainer bars and integrated the install straps into the design for lifting the cell out of the can. Currently working on closing up the trunk pan around the fuel cell can.

Decided to add some gusset tabs to the panhard bar chassis structure. Not sure why, just looked like it needed it. Better safe than sorry kept going through my mind. The Strongarm tools Mag tab tool is the ticket for gusset and tab work on tube chassis!

Default Fuel cell can in permanently

I finally finished getting the fuel cell can welded into the trunk plus closed in with sheet metal. The sides took some thought to figure out how to deal with the sloping trunk pan.

Are you going to use one of the Holley fuel cell insert pumps?

Planning on using an Aeromotive Phantom 340 fuel pump along with an A1000 regulator. I'll be installing one of Jaz's sending units too. Will also need to order a foam kit for it.
