Unfortunately Bobby it’s got a long way to go before it sees the street under it’s own power. I bought it several years ago and went thru the mock up stage, pulled the engine and transmission out to rebuild then set it aside to get some other stuff done and it kind of languished in the back shed.
I sat entirely too long (as Uncle Bob would annually remind me) but I did get the engine rebuilt and running and collected some more parts for it.
Because of some the parts I’m now going to use most of the engine compartment, steering, firewall/floor mockup I did will need to be redone.
On the bright side I did save it from getting a 2.8 V6 / C3 / 8” rear end with 3.00 gears from a Mustang II. I think my plans going to be a lot more fun.
I did get a chance to start making a pattern for the floor today (didn’t get real far, but it’s a start.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
