Restoration Complete - Pixs
700 man hours. 9 months. 310 horusepower. And a budget that was shot to hell by month three.
There was a great deal of attention given to every system, every nut and bolt.
Th only change left will be the wheels - going to non-year correct 14x7 steel style.
I will be enter the car in next week's Mustang show - I'll be able to take some decent pixs there, which I shall post.
Thanks to all - especially Soaring - for the technical help.

Forgot to mention the reason for upgrading to wider wheels is spin. The Supercharger has a great deal of thrust - neck snapping, wicked fast.

Gotta love it. It's very nicely done.
Were the budget overruns acceptable to management?
Did you have to sleep on the couch?
As a word of caution, I recently started looking for a true performance 14 inch tire and haven't found one yet. Everything I've seen has an "all season" aspect to it and the tread pattern of a snow tire. I may be forced to switch to 15inch styled steel wheels as decent tires can still be had. At least for now.
