thanks everybody !!! One more update 2day. I GOT A TAG 2DAY. But i got a feeling the transmission guy is going to hold up things. I can't help but worry. The trans. is the only thing that ain't new. It came out of a crown vic. that belonged to the FHP. I bought a TCI valvebody to up date it abit. WISH ME LUCK. I GOT A TAG !!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO

I took 11 month and toured the U.S. What a blast in my 62 Uni and a few other classic's. Believe me it is well worth it. Most of all enjoy the ride. Don't get in a hurry. And be ready for all the attention you will get. Build them to drive or why build them at all.
