    How
    How much space do you need to store the rest of your car? Just curious. That is a big job.

    I have parts all over the place! My attic has a lot of room and has two sets of fenders, a couple trunk lids, seats, trim and suspension pieces. I have overhead storage (23') across the back of the garage full of miscellaneous pieces and the doors and hoods are hanging on the garage wall.

    Pulled off the last remaining dry rotted tire on the 14" steel wheels ( 2x4 and a 2005 Chevy Avalanche ), sprayed bolts to remove the rear bumper & brackets so it can be sanded, primed, painted, and bought some steel stick JB Weld to see if I can temporarily seal my tank pin hole leak. Contemplating putting some roller tires on the '05 Mustang GT 16" wheels so I can at least convert the 4 lug front end to 5 :huh:

    Continuing to tune and data log my EFI. To get some different data, I decided to give the TCP suspension, Wilwoods and the Michelins a good workout up Geiger Grade to Virginia City. Not only is it a long winding steep climb up through the mountains, but you have to watch out for wild horses. This is why my Sport Lamps are actually driving lights.

    The first time I have driven this since the restoration. She handled it extremely well.

    Making great tuning progress.

    Changed the old broken grill to a new one and added small chrome bumpers on the front and back.
    Next step, change the radiator!

    There's a glitch in the matrix, posts are acting like they aren't going in and you end up posting more than once.
