Nice work.

I/we (my buddy) have done every bit of the work except paint... The actual work we have into it is about a month...its been a project now for about a year...9 months at the bodyshop waiting for paint, and a couple months just sittin there.

Just got it runnin...waiting to install the drivers seat and bleed the brakes and its driving...all the way back to the bodyshop for final paint

Yup, It's hard to find time for classic Mustangs these days while building a 56 F100. I'll be more active when I get rid of this old truck and get the wiring sorted out on the fastback. :)
