Only 9 months left! Better get to crackin' you have a long way to go!
Dale signed up on 460Ford.com and we've been talking about DW over there a little. I sure hope it's a little farther South this year!
Yeah I go in a day or so to pick up my tubing for
the chassis... been working on the body and still
cutting stuff out... I just talked to Turbo Action
about one of my converters I have and with the numbers
I gave Paul he said it should stall right at 5000
to 5200 so that will be about perfect... but he's not
real sure how how it will be in OD... but I'll find
out.... I have no clue where they plan on running
drag week this year

We need progress pics! Get something done everyday, cuz September will be here before you know it! 
I know this is jumping ahead, but.....who is doing the paint job, and what color will it be? I need to know, so I can get a visual of what it will look like when its done. 
I work on it just about every day.... I'll do the
paint myself...I'm not sure on the color yet but
have been thinking about a few choices... thought
about turbine bronze... I have to check my stash to
see what colors I have... pretty sure I have a gal
of flame red still, might have some silver metallic
or might have some black still.... I'm still up in
the air as to color... I want something that stands
out... I dont think I'll go black cause this wont have AC

Must be burning a lot of fire wood to work out in the garage at 23 degree's. 
Nope... gas powered radiant heat... I keep the shop

Looks like it's finally going together instead of apart. Look's like you might need a couple more jack stands. 
Yeah its FINALLY going in the other direction...
I screwed up on my dimensions(in my head) so its
not all that bad... like everything in a small car
things are close... but I did gain radiator clearance
