.....I've since sat down with 'The Mrs' and we've now agreed that its time we got the project back into gear.........

Ah - after 8 pages of car-related updates, the other factor in this whole story comes to light.....

I have an idea some priorities were changed and life took a different path for our aspiring hero...

Doesn't it bloody always. I bought mine in 2002, started it in 2004 and I'm  :ouch: this close to finishing it....

What happens after the exhaust is on?

A bit more plumbing, then wiring for start up. Motor will have to come out for a quick strip and inspect...possible bore rust and valve springs etc... Then fire up...then strip it all down for paint....

Keep at it 6T9Rustang - you'll get there.
My bigblock in a 66 Fastback took me 13 years as it was a "with what ever spare time I had" project with family and 3 kids growing up around me. So i understand your situation.

I'd be interested in your 1/4 mile times once you get a run done, as it looks like you get more rubber in the rear than me.
But i also did want to keep the folding rear seat in there between my home made tubs, so this limited things.....

Anyway, you'll be wrapped once you get it on the street and registered. Mine is awesome to drive, yours will be too.
