I have been slacking. The realtime updates are on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SINISBuilt. So now I am just making sure to update the forums.

The t56 is buttoned up. 26 spline input, upgraded bearing retainer, modified reverse lockout and new output seal.

Fuel cell is ready to go in the car as a unit. Just need to plumb it.

Well, I finally got the 345s mounted. My buddy Kris made the road trip. Had to go almost 2 hours away to get them done because there are just way to many incompetent people and shops in this state. DON'T MOVE TO NY, WE HAVE TOO MANY A**HOLES HERE.

Money Shot!

When I get the car back from paint, I can't wait to take this shot with tires.

Master cylinder ready to go in the car. Not sure what I am doing with the lid, if anything yet.

Body work on the engine bay is done. Its in primer and blocked. Just waiting for paint. The paint shop (not my guy, but the guy he gets his paint from) mixed and delivered the wrong color. Otherwise it would have been done on Monday. (remember the incompetent NYers thing I was saying earlier, yeah, strikes again)

Received the last of the install kit ever from Sullivan Performance for the valve covers (nice to have that). And the 2 of the last 3 sets of plug wires.

And here is the money shot. Still a couple things to do or that I am waiting to get delivered, but overall this will be the look.

that motor reminds me of the 60's top fuel ford engines, but with a lot shorter blower on top.

Got the car back from the painter, and prepped the engine to go in.

Rear suspension and fuel cell is now bolted in place. I was just mocked up here but after some clearancing for the 345s everything is bolted in and ready to go.

after seeing this it makes me want to start my own build a on foxbody, I just have to wait a little bit longer before purchasing a project car.
