It will never be done.
Hi
Any more info on the car? Surely you've racked up a good few miles by now and ironed out the gremlins - although I'm sure there weren't (m)any.
Cheers from the UK ...

Surprise thread resurrection of the day!
The car isn't finished and I'm still working on those gremlins but it is driveable. I think the interior turned out nice but the exterior isn't quite where I want it. The Webers still need to be tuned but that should be taken care of in the next couple of months.
I changed from hydraulic to cable clutch. I changed from JMC dual master cylinders to SVO Mustang MC. I had to relocate the seat pan down and back. I changed to a Flaming River tilt steering column so I could drive without hitting my legs (I'm 6'4").
The good: Aluminum 347 with Webers. Very powerfull and responsive.
Heidt's IRS. Rides nice, tracks true over bumps (even under power) and hooks better than I expected.
Interior turned out really nice. I like the modern seats.
Chassis is very stiff and the car handles well.
About 2900 lbs. Heavier than expected but still very light.
The bad: Fiberglass and repo panels fit like crap. Between the fiberglass fenders, repro doors and repro quarter panels I couldn't get any two features to line up. Gaps are horrible. I wasn't looking for show car quality but I'm dissapointed.
Webers are a pain to tune. It's time for professional help.
TKO-500 grinds going into 3rd. I may have damaged it by missing the shift too many times with the hydraulic setup.
My painting abilities. I'm seriously considering having at least the clear reshot. I've kind of stopped working on it until I decide what to do about the paint.
Also, I really don't like the hood I chose. I may end up going with a Shelby style hood.
I don't have a good picture with the car clean but here it is with polishing compound all over it:
Interior:
And engine bay:
Hope your fastback project is going well.
