Well about 8 months into the project and I am at a stand still so I actually have time for some pics. The 502 it came with from e-bay and the paint, body and frame are all that is remaining of my original purchase. This project is intended to be driven and driven hard; so the focus is on making it perform before making it pretty. For that reason the ok paint and trim will be staying for a while, the shiny stuff will come, but if they don't improve the cars preformance they are not on the to do list at this time.

The Elcky was yellow when I got it from e-bay so I just painted a simple graphic and called it done. For now anyway.

I have the custom built Turbo 400 with a gear vendors overdrive installed. Fabricating the crossmember and clearancing the floor was the hardest part of this job. I have virtually every suspention part SC&C sells installed (Marcus has been a great help).

Got the new moser 12 bolt with 31 spline axles in it is narrowed 2 inches from stock and has Ford housing ends so no c-clips to worry with.

The enterior needs some work yet but the basics are done. I'm really proud of the center console I built (not to bad for about $85 in materials huh) This is also the reason we are at full stop for the moment; I tried to use the stock wiring to save money but I figured an all new harness from American Auto Wire was cheaper and safer than Rogane treatments.

18x8 and 18x9 Bonspeed Huntington wheels with Braer discs all the way around.

Also installed A hdraboost system and lee power steering unit.
I have sway bars (from SC&C of course), radiator, new guage panel/guages, stainless 3" exhaust plus a bunch of other part just sitting hear ready to install.
What do guys think so far?
