The body is really clean. The interior sure is ugly. Not real wild about the 4 lug wheels, that's a minor issue at present. Now to see how much of a headache it will be to get this thing to the Indy points meet in April?

Robert... When I seen this post,I thought the Mustang II was going to be a donor car for your Chevy II. Control arms, spindles, rack & pinion, carburetor and plug wires. How silly of me... MB.

Danny...Not to continue the highjack. The project is still progressing, although slow, I'm too fussy. My glass and interior guy lost his right arm to cancer in early September, but his desire to continue is amazing. I'm dealing with my own medical condition, that leaves me tired at the end of the day. Plans are to be completed for the New Year. I will be posting some pictures soon in the Build section...MB.

Sorry to hear of all the misfortune with you guys,, as a cancer survivor myself, I know its hard for us to go out of here with all the parts we came in with. Get healthy first,, that's the main thing,,, the build can come later. I'll look forward to it next year,, take care.

Spent Sunday tearing down a junkyard 302. Pretty much have a boat anchor, which didn't surprize me. All I really expected to yield from it was the intake anyway. That's the gamble with salvage stuff. Back to scrounging.

Maurice,

Nope, my Chevy II bracket car already has the R&P under it. We did that 30 some years ago. Regarding the carb on the M II, not sure it's a donor for anything but the spare parts or core pile, lol! Think we've declared the 79 Firebird as a dead project. Move it out of the garage. Probably start a "For Sale" ad, try to move some of parts.

Robert... I just thought you might be favouring the Chevy II, now that it is a roller again...MB.
