Default Close to the "finish line"

Hey guys first I will say thanks. This forum has almost single handedly been my resource for the 01 gt vert.
I have learned a lot about my mustang in the last 2 years and I know I got a ton more to learn. I just wanted to post a list of things I have done. And what's about to be done next week. All with yall advice.

Cold air intake* (SR), 70MM throttle body (SR), 70mm plenum SR, Bama Diablo tuner , Stage 1 clutch EXEDY
, Throw out bearing ford racing.
New Fly wheel oem, Long tube headers MAC, Mid pipe MAC, Cat back MAC, UPR clutch quadrant , UPR fire wall adjuster , K member* UPR , front Coil over kit UPR, Tube A Arms UPR, Caster camber plates UPR, Bump steer kit UPR , Rear coil over viking, Nitrous Express proton plus system, new steering rack

What I did not actually install myself: Ford racing 3.73 rear diff. Gears and install kit.

What I'm installing next week
MMR long block with Trick Flow Heads, stage 2 Cam, 7 qt oil pan, new radiator, new timing cover, electric fan, thermostat, new water pump, new power steering pump.

Not so close to the finish line. I still have a huge list I want to get to, But this is a huge milestone.

Ran into a stripped bolt. On the top bolt in the bellhousing. Took my entire day to get it out. So i hope to have the engine out today or tomorrow.
