Well, first things first, time to clean er' up.
My son loves helping me out so he got a spray bottle and got right to work. Missed a bit of daylight so I set her back down on the ground,
And pushed her out of the garage. Not hard.. but not easy with two flat rears either.
Still nice for some fresh air. Neighbour came over, we talked red neck for a bit and then pulled out the chains.
Would you look at that?
Sitting pretty waiting for an LS.
Dropped by the local shop and talked with them about parts, they're putting together a quote for me right now. I'm neither rich nor famous, my mom thinks I'm cool, but I still don't have a massive bank account. With that said.. I'd rather have it spend another year in the garage and do it right rather than do it twice.
Narrowed a few parts down and will start with the suspension. I'll need a Mig welder so looking for a Mig 250, 251 or 252 in the mean time. After that I'll be starting up on the TCI Mustang II front suspension and TCI 4 link rear.
Decided on a 4th gen 5.3L LS, 4L80 mated to a Ford 8.8" rear end. Getting a Holley Terminator standalone and a full new body wiring harness from America Auto Wiring. The future will hold a supercharger, unsure of which yet, but the overall goal is to lay down 600-750whp.
Honestly scared to even see the quote - even more scared to show the wife, but thankful she's supporting me on this and understanding that it's going to be a long project. I'd love to have it on the road by next summer but realistically I'm looking closer to 2-3 years.
