Brought it home today. This weekend the trans gets mounted and then I do some final tweaking of the motor mounts before I finish mounting both in the frame. It's starting to come together again after some time off.


I'll post, in the original build thread, more of the details of the strange odyssey that has transpired over the summer to bring me to this point.

Great sounding 289! That should get you to the F100 Supernationals.
