I'm going to get it so It can run and track ready. and then I will detail and finish it later if and when some $$$$$ come my way. so it won't be a fast or finished as I would like, but at least it will let me have some fun with it.

I now have most of the firewall finished, and the master cyl and brake peddle done as well, as is the trans tunnel. I have the dzus clips all on now for holding the front fenders and nose section in place. I am working on making and mounting hood hold downs today. Oh and fed ex just showed up with my Tubular upper and lower "A" arms I am staying with the mustang II front end now, I don't have the $$$$$ to put an axle under it. so it will be a slammed on the ground Gasser and not a nose high Gasser...

Is that because of hood clearance issues with the rocker covers at the front of motor? How far back are you having to move the firewall?

I cut that 3" off and I also put a bow in the new firewall of about 2" to clear the engine. I wanted the engine set back as far as I could without getting to intrusive into the cab. I left the 1" lip that the hood sets on the cab. the engine is still in the same place as it was in the earlier pictures
