Awesome to see the progress. Garage question: that in floor lift is amazing. Who makes it? Do you like it? What are the drawbacks, if any?
Thanks,
Bovey

Thanx for the kind words, guys. I also cannot wait to get behind the wheel. But before I can get there I need to install one :-) ... The lift is from a German company called "Twin Busch" (designed in Germany and made in China - I assume) ... http://www.twinbusch.de ... Street Garage is the shop of the German Street Magazine ... we do projects with simple tools and under same conditions our readers could or would ... no fancy shop ... what you see is all we have got ... just some storage upstairs and a few work benches next door ... therefore we needed a lift which is completely hiding when not not in use ... their hydraulic double scissor lift is the cheapest on the market and is OK for semi professional usage ... heard that it won't work when it gets to cold due to the oil ... will see .. our shop is not heated and we still wrench when temps get below freezing :-) ...

The unfinished project is now on display at the Essen Motorshow. Germany's largest aftermarket and tuning trade show. The photos were taken a day before the official start of setting the stands up. I will post one taken when the show is in full swing this coming Sunday.

Also in the row was this Eleanor ... made in Germany ... top notch w/o any doubt ... I am just not sure if I like the LS motor ... sticker price was €189,000 which is about $235,000 ... wish I had only half of this money ...

One of the really good things about having my F100 in Essen was that there was a Small Block Ford motor on a stand just on the opposite side of the hall ... my Sanderson FF3FM headers that Rob suggested do not fit ... "head on collision" with the steering ... not just a little bit ... reason could be that i had my motor mounts moved back as much as possible ... I was not sure what to do ... the Small Block Ford had a set of Hedman block huggers P/N 88400 for a 67/68 Mustang and they clear my steering perfectly ... on my shopping list now ... Big Thank you to the guys from that other stand to let me try their headers ...

Man I love this build, can't wait to see it finished!
Maybe I missed it but what mufflers are you running? I've heard NoLimitRob has a new muffler he's started selling, and I think it would be a perfect fit for this beauty
