Well, it's not so much what I did today, but what I did over the last 9 days.
 
Picture 1 shows my cleaned and painted 9 qt Moroso oil pan (the color is much darker than the picture shows -- Dark Ford Blue).
 
Picture 2 shows my engine bay cleaned and painted. My father came out during the Thanksgiving week and helped me nearly every day. This was one of his accomplishments of the week.
 
Picture 3 shows me and my father actually pulling the engine from the 1994 donor car. My brother (the professional mechanic of the family, and the one who sped us up when he arrived on Wednesday) took the picture.
 
Picture 4 shows the 1993 Cobra iron heads and new Crane 1.7 rockers installed. I've had both those for over 8 years just waiting to use them.
 
Picture 5 shows the oil dipstick hole plugged with a 3/8" freeze plug. We just tapped the dipstick out, put a little silicon on the plug and tapped it in.
 
(to be continued...)

I've been buying parts to (HOPEFULLY) move the engine from the 94 donor chassis to the 69 over the Thanksgiving week.
 
I have received the Ron Morris fully adjustable engine mounts (bought the set with both stock and 1/2" lowered so I don't get in and find out I should have gotten the *other* set), NE Performance Mustang's T5 crossmember and a bunch of gaskets from AutoZone. Ordered today was a replacement oil pump pickup tube for my Moroso 9qt pan ("misplaced" my old one) and a replacement dip stick (probably with the old pickup tube).
 
To be ordered either Friday or Monday will be complete stainless brake lines so I can swap out the lines in the engine bay before dropping in the engine.
 
Also on Monday, I will drop off my oil pan, timing cover and intake manifold for a good cleaning.

PS: Forgot to mention acquiring an old MSD 6A (6200) box for $75. Once the car is running again, I plan to wire that in.

Went for a drive after installing the new windshield trim and air cleaners.

My boy in the back seat with our GPS tells me how fast I'm going and when I'm speeding almost every mile we drive down the road.
