It's coming along nicely. It's almost time to start going back together.

I have to say that Corey has been a real pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend him to anyone considering a project like this. He is keeping a very close eye on the cost and time involved and they are flying along. I know where I will bring all of my future work to.
That boy don't do any half azzed work. Either it's going to get done right or you can take it somewhere else.Seen him fire folks over the words ,"that's good enough".

True story!:rotfl: Unless you're working on your own vehicle, it's not "good enough." It's right or, it's wrong!

The week coming should begin to see some big advances coming on the car! We discovered that it's been hit in the rear pretty good so, it's gonna hit the frame machine for a little while to pull it back around to square. After that, we'll be doing some bracing and, cutting quarters off and, doing the mini-tub for the rear section.:smokin: The build is about to get exciting!

Also, there has been a change in direction for the motor. Let's just say...It's BIGGER!:D

Mini Tubs going in. This is going to be a BAD car! Joe told me the engine will put out over 450HP.

Here's a quick peek at what's been happening on the Stang. This is really the hardest part, and most time consuming of body work. I'd bet both quarters have been on and, off the car no less than 2 dozen times EACH! It's a LOT of measuring and, fitting up but, it'snow got both quarters welded on!

I can't believe Corey hasn't posted any updates in a while. Since he likes teasers so much I think I'll just leave this pic here....:D

The front suspension is now in. It has a TCI IFS installed with Shockwave air suspention by Ridetech on the front. The rear will be a 4 link also with shockwaves on the rear. Controlling the Air suspenstion will be the Ridetech digital ride control. The neat thing about this control system is it works off of actual level sensors and pressure. It also has a App that can control the system via your cell phone. Pretty trick. The brakes are Wilwood.
