    Pulled an all-nighter, got the engine in and running by 5:00 AM this morning. Drove to Carlisle for the All Ford Nationals, got rained out after just 3 hours...:mad:

    Tried to fix the heater hoses AGAIN, left me sitting last night 1/4 mile from home, not happy with the ones I got from Summit, they are the Spectre stainless steel flex heater hose kits Summit part #SPE-39698, the hose inside the SS covers are really thin and keep leaking at the connection on my intake, going back to regular thicker walled hoses!:thumbs2:

    Got my 11 inch Granada rotors and small GM metric brake calipers mounted on the Mustang II spindles. Hooked up my 18 inch stainless brake lines with aftermarket banjo fittings on the calipers. All of these unrelated parts fit together perfectly :clap:

    Also laid my fuel cell and it's steel can somewhat in place, now I have to decide how much of it will stick through the bottom of the floor like the stock gas tank did. The 9 inch rear is also in place on 2 jack stands, now to start on the 4 link brackets :)

    Radiator Overflow

    Last thing it needed before taking a run on the 1/8 mile was a radiator overflow bottle. Picked one up at my favorite junk yard yesterday and installed it today. Came off a very small ford wagon.

    Plan on T&T on 6/30.
