April 19, 2011 - Everything's here.
It's time to start the build. And just in time - the car's supposed to be in Atlanta for the Mitty vintage races. It has to be on the trailer in a week. Can it be done?
Maybe. Between the long period of disassembly, the fact that it's a built engine from a different source than FM's usual crate motor and the different transmission, I've found a lot of little items that have been overlooked. Some are simple to fix, such as the missing motor mount bolts. Some are a bit more complex, such as the remote oil filter mount that was forgotten. Still, if all goes according to plan the engine will be in the car tomorrow.
