Outstanding.. It is no wonder why you got enthusiast of the year.. I actually look forward everyday to see if there are updates. Now we get to see a stang go through the process.. Just need to do a GM muscle car to round out the big 3..

Ha! Thanks Darrell. Ya know, I had a 67 GTO way back when and would love another. But I think I'd want a 65 or a 69/70 Judge this time around. I think if a cool project GTO came around I'd jump on it. Three threads at once? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

H-Pipe installed and I'm just about ready to wheel this whole assembly into place! Meanwhile, started working on the window regulators. Pics to follow!

zzzzzzzzsnnnnug, HUH? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sleep.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sleep.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sleep.gif[/img] Who? Man, I had this horrible dream I was working on vacuum powered pumpkin that was sucking my bank account dry! Oh, wait.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Window regulator on the passenger side done, cleaned, detailed, rollers rebuilt, and everything greased. We like greased rollers! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Just three more set of door/quarter internals to go!



Headlights installed.....



And now I'm strategerally placing the engine/trans in place for the final lift! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]





So freakin' cool!!!!![img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Fresh paint....4 bolts....&quot;iffy&quot; engine hoist....what could go wrong??? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]





Luckily....nothing! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]



All that's left is to take out the engine dolly I had everything mounted on!

Cheers

Removing the engine cradle for the last time! So what's one to do on a day like this after such a momentous occasion? Well, if the song &quot;Vogue&quot; or &quot;Stayin' Alive&quot; has taught me anything, it's strike a pose and strut! Many don't know this, but I was a professional bodybuilder at 18 growing up in NJ. So, in props to my old skool muskle shows, it's only natural to make the crowds cheer!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]




Oh yeah, they went nuts when I hit these poses!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] Don't let the size of those guns fool you!!!! I rocked it back in the day! Fortunately I got out of bodybuilding about a week after I got into it, since the girl I was going for met some dork at the shore that year, but still!







What's one to do after a day like this? Simple....kick back and enjoy the progress! And just to appease Mikey, I had to use my GM cup!
