Only thing I can see is the piece of wood under the hood is upside down, and in the third picture, your beer bottle installation has been removed........Bad bottle (empty?)!

Everything else is looking great!

You are supposed to use a Ford assembly manual, not one from Chebbie!

Even with the frosty, you can't overcome that mistake.

I think you put your motor in front of the wrong wall, isnt it suppose to go in front of the firewall and not the garage wall? Hey maybe thats why chebbies suck so much...

When you have a rear that nice, you just have to show it off.

Y'all are really observant and I appreciate all your "help" to correct my mistakes.
Julie...noticed more lumber used for the project and the missing Shiner in picture #3...needed more aiming fluid for the camera.

Yes, the pinion angle is off.

Yes, we get Shiner out here in NM...and New Mexico is part of the US...It says so right on our license plates!

Yes, that is a Ch**y motor, actually a fuel injected motor out of a Vette.

Use an assembly manual? Isn't that like asking for directions?

Yes, it is a very good looking rear end...why thank you!

Jack
