New Gallery update

I added a few pix for Christmas to the gallery, since year end is closing and I know I will be graded on this...

Lookin GOOD Mike

Got a good start going. Firewall's looking pretty clean, along with frame.

I'm trying to NOT see that Hav-a-lunch parked next to it

(that's your neighbors, right

)

Mike, it's looking good. Very nice progress. Put some info in the gallery about your 390 build-up. I can't remember what you're building.

I wish I had picture of mine when there was nothing but a frame and axles in my shop. I guess I never took any.

That would be the wife's ride, but it does have Ford torsion bar keys on it

Greg, I'll add some details, it is taking quite a while to complete so pictures are pretty easy to sit still for. I plan on mounting the engine/tranny to the GTex inspired engine test stand betwix Christmas and NewYear. My son just picked up a new mud toy (1988 Cheep with 36" Swampers and 4:36 gears) so I will need to devote a little time and garage space to him too....

Thanks Guys

Your motor looks great! You know what really sucks though? All that paint will never last unless you are maticulous about keeping it clean. I had everything painted right up, and now everything looks terrible! From oil stains to rust, after the metals exposed. Mind you I had to keep mine outside full time so the elements really got to it.

Keep up the good work!
