 Made it down to the shop today for some quality time with the race car. (I'm 12 days on, 2 off at work) Got the 727specialists trans in and all hooked up. Made cooler lines and all that. Had moral support from my friends Bill Hoft and Wayne Venables. All in all, a good day. Hopefully next trip down I can get the motor in.

Does this car have a rack?
Can you post more pics of the front suspension?

Yes, the rack is inside the K member. It's still torsion bar with stock lower arms and tubular uppers. I may have a pic somewhere.

Limiter is a cable from the lower arm to the down tube. Mike pulled them all the way up when he put the car in storage. I have not let them down yet.  Here's what the front suspension looks like. Mike and Blaine made this themselves about 15 years ago. We are going to make new tie rods and steering arms, other than that I will probably leave it alone. My buddy Patrick wants to build a coil-over front end based on Mustang II stuff.

 Got my Monocoque fronts on from the Daytona.  Got the motor in and turned it over on the starter. Made 50 psi oil pressure and no puddles underneath. Progress is being made little by little. Since I am only off every other weekend I need to get it home so I can button it up. The wiring is horrid. Mike built great motors but by his own admission his wiring skills were lacking. At least there was no smoke released when I turned on the main.

Thank you! Mike and Blaine spent a lot of time, effort, and money on this thing when they built/raced it.
