    still have to do the headers though... :(

    trans lines, shifter, fuel pump, water pump, get the brackets and pullies together, fuel lines, finish the suspension... blah blah blah. we're gonna be rolling very shortly thought :)

    Looks good. You needed the shock tower braces left in place, so you would have somewhere to store your hardware. :D

    Looks great, Tony! :thumbs2: Once you get the headers on, the rest is fun. I really like the valve covers, a totally different look to them in a Mav!

    yea, those braces make excelent shelving lol

    as far as the valve covers i wanted black with silver fins but i didnt want the cobra ones everyone else has and i didnt want anything with brand names or logos on it. plain or "powered by ford" was really the only way to go :)

    Awseome!!! Put a rag over the top of the carb, just so something doesn't fall in there by accident.
