      Nothing that would really work for a group discount. Only thing I am doing anytime soon is the AC and maybe make a set of headers. Might buy a TIG welder, it has been about ten years since I last did any significant welding. I'll have to check with my wife, I think she has one at work I can use. If that is the case, at the most I may buy some purge gas and my own torch. Lot's of little bits and pieces otherwise as I assemble things, nothing significant. The seats and shocks I will be buying at the end. I have most everything else, just need the time to work on it.

      Beautiful fish. Wish they carried that Barracuda fish emblem over to the 70's 'cudas.

      Four on the floor

      Four on the floor - tires that is!

      Completed the driver's side suspension and brakes today. Set the car down... tweaked the ride height. Driver's side was so much easier than the passenger side. No second guessing or thinking. I also took a flat file to the hex on each end of the t-bar to knock down the powder coat a little, that made it a lot easier to knock the bar in.

      Still a long way to go but great to be making visual progress. Nice to have the car on the floor and rolling again.

      Project Update - will be taking a break for a little while

      Did not work on the car much in May and none in June. My dog has been sick for the past few months. Last week he had a surgery, seemed better, but by yesterday the combination of it all was just too much for him and he was too weak. Bottom line is I lost my buddy and have no extra money for a while. I will polish out all the stainless, install some of the wiring, get some other small stuff done in the meantime. I'll have to wait until the end of the year before I can do the last few big things that need to be done (like exhaust).

      Finished with most of the suspension and such. Did some fitment under the hood, installed a fan. Washed the car, took some pictures:

      been an ugly eight years since my last post in this thread, and that is all I’m going to say about that.

      OK, lots of details are new.

      Found a pair of Mickey Thompson early run non-logo valve covers.

      Modified them to have an o-ring seal fill cap and AN connections over baffles for the oil separator / breather.

      Powder coated valve covers and intake.

      Bought drive pulley setup, water pump pulley, power steering pulley, and alternator pulley from Jones racing.

      Water pump is Meziere belt driven remote. PS pump
      is Corvette large bearing style with bypass pressure set to match needs of the PS box.

      Tensioner for V6 Ford; alternator from a V8 Dodge pickup; belt for a 2023 Corvette.

      Still have some prototype work to finish for the water pump and PS pump brackets.
