Very sad news for both of you. I can empathise fully. On the car side, that is going to be one awesome truck. Can't believe it's less work than the 69.

Looking good. Almost there?

I'm running a 351C 4V with 650 Holley, FMX and 3.25 diff. My first trip on the highway was yesterday over 600kms I averaged 12 of your MGP. Only 10 Australian MPG (17L/100km). About what I expected. Maybe I need to fit a bog block to save on fuel. At least that is what I can tell the Misses.

They look embarrassed

I need to get them shortened so they pull in tight when not in use. Easilly done. I ave a friend who repairs seatbelts. Just another job on the list.

My girl (Bimbo) is getting on. Not looking forward to that day.

Did a few more things on the weekend before I take it to the Engineer on Friday for final sign off. The steering universal was touching the exhaust when under heavy acceleration. Had to drop the rack and grind a little of the manifold. Now it has good clearence. Fitted new headlights with parkers incorporated. Fitted sound proofing (Resomat) under the rear seat. It was a bit drummy with the new exhaust. Made a big difference. Finished the installation of the inertia reel belts in the rear (Retro Belt USA). They work very well and managed to get the positioning right first time.

I just love how many people work on their cars inside the house.

That's great. Really love the cup holders. For a moment I thought you were working on the bed. That would cause some serious problems at my house.

My good friend in our media department put my photos together in a time lapse. (sound on) It's amazing how quick you forget the amount of work done once you're back on the road. MUSTANG_6.m4v

I like that black metalic. Looks great.

This looks great. Can't wait to see it finished.

What a great video. And a beautiful car.

That’s some real artistry. Wish I had those skills.

I would have guessed way more than that. Maybe when I look at how long something takes to do I think of how slow I am.

This is one spectacular car. Can't imagine what he would have paid.

I really like these mirrors. I am going to have to look at a pair of electric mirrors for mine. It's a real pain when they move each time you slam the door.

They look really good

Hi, this is how mine was located. The drain was cracked and leaked out the side onto the floor. As I was disassembling the unit to modify I drilled out the old drain and glassed in a new metal drain tube. I am not aware of a separate plug so possibly your drain is blocked.

Sounds like a plan.

I haven't been to the All American Day before so will have to go this year. I hope it doesn't happen while I'm away. I'd like to see your car there.

Not sure how the torque converter locks on a Mustang but vibration was a common problem in Australian Holden Commodores that were fitted with the Nissan in line 6. The cheap fix was to disconnect the lock up wires. It's been a while so my memory is scracthy but may be worth trying it either locked or unlocked and see if there is a difference. Of course this suggestion is no use if it's not electrically operated.

How long before it will be painted and on the road? Going for white?

Very nice. I’d like a Monte Carlo bar but ir won’t fit with the shaker. Must be close Now?

Forgive my ignorance but what is it. Cuda?
