I'd say that's tight! How do you close the door on the garage?

Glad you're making progress, Marc. It's nice to see these builds come along.

Thanks guys yeah it's great to be moving along. I hope to be at 100% drivability soon (relative).  ::)
Kinda fun today, I was cleaning out my garage and had all my junk in the driveway and street. Not quite in the area code of a Jay Brown collection or even close to a Pond setup but it's mine and I love 'em all.
Also a side shot of the mustang so you can get an idea how she sits. Motor not in yet  :o lots of adjust room and 650 lb springs. Man they're stiff.

Mustang looks badass, but I must admit I'm enamored with that pickup...

LALA land Heo. Los Angeles.
There's a bunch of kooks and everything else here but those of us that were born here still love it even if we long for the old days. The weather is pretty darn good.
Jay that truck is a cream puff. I'm about to install a five speed in it. Been getting along on a granny first gear four speed for years. Having an overdrive will be awesome.

Marc, nice pics and +1 on the collection!  My no. 1 would probly be the wagon; able to haul lots of stuff and take some nice road trips.  How does the Cal DMV treat the old cars as far as inspections, emissions, etc?  Is there a year cutoff to be exempt like we have in TX?  We still have to get a yearly safety inspection but the emissions side is exempt.

Very cool livestock.
Are your cattle Lowlines?
Yeah the weather down here is a bit different. Gonna be 80 today then hopefully more rain this weekend.
Gotta do some maintenance on the F350 this weekend. Time to replace belts and tensioners. Hope it doesn't rain to much. Usually doesn't.
I don't mind waiting for the engine, to much, even though I whine. I have a builder friend that worked for my brother in the early days of SCE. He's one of these engine savant kids that has been building engines since he was hatched. He has a big race engine business so he has to service his high paying regular customers. My engines are projects, which he loves to do, but really I take a back seat to his paying the bills. I understand that. Still, I'd love to do my own and will work toward that. Space is my problem so I'll have to address that somehow.
Hi Bruce, thanks, yes '75 and older is exempt. Yet another reason to drive old stuff.

Having a fun day in the garage finishing up some niggly little bits in the electrics like finally going to buy a dimmer switch. Did some cleaning up and route sanitizing and came to the conclusion there was no reason not to fire it up and check connections and so forth.
It's alive.
No heart yet but the surrounding systems are working and no smoke anywhere. Whew :)
Crossed one more marker.

Cut the center ac vents into the top of the console.
Having the console is allowing me to not have to use plastic housing/bracket parts for the ac. I prolly would've looked for or made some metal stuff anyway but this is pretty clean and saves me some dough. Not having the engine yet is making me think of things to do, so, I'm spinning that as good. ;)
Yeah I keep looking at the radio opening also but I'm waiting to see what I can fit in there before I decide.
