yeah that zephyr is sick.

 

Here is a much needed update on the car. These pics are over probably the last month and a half to two months.

Rearend in, rear wheels on to see what they look like:




Steering column, dash, heater a/c box out:

 

This pretty much brings us up to date. Kmember is in the car, need to put the front springs in and reassemble the suspension/etc and the car will finally be holding itself up again.

 

Wow, that's alota work!! Your neighbors must be loving you!

Haha yeah. Luckily I don't have too many neighbors, I think they all got forclosed on. I live with a roomate though and it is actually his house so he as a project (car that will never be finished) sitting in the garage. Then we both have sport bikes to keep in there, and my tools and the engine/trans for the stang are in there. No room for another project. I really wanted to build the coupe so I said fuck it and went to work in the driveway. I keep everthing picked/cleaned up whenever I'm not working on it. And I'm trying to get rid of the GT, so I will only have the coupe and hopefully it will be running within a couple of weeks.

 

Tight work!

 

Well after a couple months it is finally down off the jackstands and holding its own weight. Here are a couple quick pictures of it on the ground. I know the springs will set some when it is running, but I'm definitely going to either have to buy springs or cut a coil or so out of the rear springs because it sits waaay too high.

 

your doing a great job man keep it up.
