Just a quick update -
We got the T-5 transmission rebuilt last week, and went ahead and had a RAM HDX clutch put in at the same time. Although we planned to yank the trans out ourselves and have it rebuilt by the shop I ended up using, I decided to grab a pen (for my checkbook) instead of a wrench. We just have too many projects going on right now. So the transmission is now fixed. The car goes in Thursday for dual exhaust. The shop who installed the exhaust on my SSP will be called into duty again. The plan is to cut into the factory y-pipe after the cats, and run true duals with an H-pipe crossover and Thrush Welded series mufflers, with both pipes exiting at the rear bumper. Future plans call for a "split-port swap", which is basically changing over from the single port heads to the better flowing heads and intake from the 1999-2004 3.8L's. Porting, roller rockers, and a new cam will be done too, and that will be handled by us in our garage. This combination should be good for about 240rwhp, which should be MORE than enough for this car.

Great-looking car, Bill. Nice color, too!! I like what you've done.
Gee, I had a 6-cyl 4-dr 1975 Ford Maverick at that age. It was green (ext), green (int) and more green (vinyl roof)! Replaced it with my first Mustang, a brand new 1989 4-cyl hatchback. Both got me through college. I would love to have the Maverick back now just for kicks.

Sounds like fun for dad and son. My first car was a 1966 Mustang (no I'm not that old LOL as it was a used one) and I have lots of fond memories.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. It is fun getting greasy with the kid on a project like this. We're both learning new things!

Jack and I got the new headlights, Cervini's Cobra R hood, and Cobra bumper installed. Here it sits at the body shop awaiting paint -
Since the paint is starting to fail on the roof and quarters, the whole car will be repainted back to factory paint code #FU - Dark Green Satin Metallic. I'm using the same shop that painted my SSP. Here are a couple of pictures from Friday - |

That car is going to look sharp! It's nice to see a father/son project coming along.
