do you work on it all day too, or just not sleep?

My poor wife thinks she is a widow,I am working in the garage after work until about 11 PM,my ass is dragging though.I have to go out of town for a couple of days for work,it going to be a much needed break.Probably be spraying primer on it as I load it on the trailer to leave for Tenn.LOL,no really.Ron

[Ron S]

Kind of made me a little sick to my stomach to cut on new fenders but at $108 a peice,it makes Camaro parts seem expensive LOL.The body sets so low on the chassis I don't think a flat hood will fit over the LS1 intake.That is the first time I've seen hood clearance issues with a LS1 engine.My original fears have come true,tires are so deep into fenders,I'm not going to have much room to transition flares,its a good thing this is a piece of crap.LOL .Ron http://mysite.verizon.net/ls6ron/

108 ? you got robed i can get new fenders for 89 bucks hell i can buy WHOLE QUARTERS for 69 bucks

[Ron S]

Wrenching time is getting hard to come by,Overhaulin crew where are you.Got most of the floors and firewall fabbed,tried to leave a fair amount of room just in case I one day convert back to ford power.It will be a miracle if I make it.Ron

[69LT1Nova]

We're all rootin' for ya! Now get back in the shop!

[67.5vette]

I found this pic with the new style mustang fenders. Cannot wait to see yours.

Just got back,UPS delivered my mufflers back from the coaters.Performance Coatings out of Georgia,did and excellent job for less then half the price of Jet Hot.Ron

Awesome, those are the guys that powdercoated my frame back in '01!!

[Ron S]

Just set the body on the chassis for the last time today.That gives me seven days to put the car the rest of the way together.If I were a betting man I'd say there is no way in hell this car is going to make it to RTTH.There is still so much to do,but I'm going to continue to thrash on it,and hope that I make it.Should be a real zip tie special though,and not much to look at,but I'll bring it anyway.Ron

[55chevyman]

Any updates???? Did you make the deadline????

[Chad-1stGen]

Yeah, updates!

[Ron S]

Sorry guys,no the car didn't make it to RTTH.My c5 calipers hit my wheels,my windsheild wouldn't have gotten put in until friday,so I just gave up on tuesday.The car wouldn't have looked to nice anyway.I did go to RTTH and it was alot of fun,and a much needed break.Ron

[Ron S]

Finally getting back to this car,the interior kind of looks like the inside of a battleship.I'm debating on putting carpet in it or not,looks more racecar without.Ron
