[QUOTE="Recon, post: 16202080, member: 181287"] Little update. We’re starting o the car hot and heavy. The goal now is to have the car road worthy by August. [ATTACH=full]1574526[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1574527[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1574528[/ATTACH] We got the crank in and had a couple of issues. Issues arose during torque angle and were resolved with new parts ordered from ford. That went on for about 2 weeks, fast forward to yesterday.
