That is the first pic I have seen of it outside, I thought it was afraid of the sun,,,,,great lookin rig. Like those doors, but it would make my AC work too hard and everyone knows us old folks have to be careful with heat.

Projects, Projects, Projects......Man I got a million of em.

Lets see.. The B2 Project is languishing. I have been collecting parts it seems like forever and have a set of 4:10's front and rear, limited slip in the rear and a Lock-rite up front. I have both front and rear Axles rebuilt with new bearings,seals,and U joints. The front also has a nice set a warn hubs. The motor I got from you is back from the machine shop and needs final cleaning before assy. I got a set of ported World heads and a special cam that camcraft made for me to use with the Supercharger. I am on draft 3 on the new intake to bolt the blower onto and last time I worked on it I was having one of them mental blocks stuck on the top end there.

There is still tons of stuff that needs to be done. I still have to do the trans so I am going to stick with the newer explorer A4LD and do all the trick stuff to it. There is a ton of mods you can do to improve it tremendously.
Electrical has to be completely re-done, the split bench mounted, and Oh one of the most important things is to remove the rodents that chewed up everything under the dash... Rotten Rats!!

I sold the airplane to a friend up in North Pole Alaska.. I only lost about 1/2 of a fortune on it. Paid some bills and bought the wife a 90 Must Vert 5.0 auto. I am just finishing up a rebuild on it from front to rear. Went through it and freshened it up and am finishing the Interior on Monday.......maybe..

Oh another major project is the T Coupe. A 23 Ford 2dr Doctors Coupe! I am Building an all steel all Ford powered streetrod. 351W FMX Auto with a 9 out back. Got a set of 285/70/15 rear and 195/70/14 fronts.. Gonna be a bitching ride.... My avatar is a picture of the car before... That is next after the stang and then back to the B2.

Keepin to damn busy and not getting any better physically... I am surprised I have got this far......I gotta use the chair 99% of the time now but I can get out and crawl under around over and inside the cars without using the legs if I am careful.. Ha Ha Ha Ha...

Ok I ramble on.....I better quit for now.. Again nice ride ya got there man
