Brake who needs a brake lol

Didnt have time to go shopping for one and I have to finish this front end sheet work by monday so I busted it out the old fashion way. Not bad for a concrete guy haha. Just want to get this stuff up to butchy so he can start on it.

Thanks steve, Trust me I didnt want to have to resort to prehistoric methods but time was of the essence with the sheetmetal fabrication on the front end. While a brake would have made short work of it, I didnt have the time to go out price shopping for one as these parts had to be ready to go out for paint pronto. Besides I have the upmost confidence in my painter and once he gets them preped any blemishes in the fabrication will be null.

Oh and both of you need to stop making me want to shave my engine bay. If I open that can of worms, my car will never see the road again! lol

All it takes is one phone call. We got one of the best in the country on our team. Just make the call kid, and all of your dreams will come true.

Haha when the time comes, I will do my best to enlist Butch's expertise, he has to know shaving mustang engine bays like the back of his hand by now.

Far too much work to tackle that this year though...sigh

Where's that updates?

Your always ahead of the updates before they even happen lol

From Facebook the past few days, it looks like he's been spending his time at your garage Tom, lol.

Lol two weekends in a row at Sinis headquaters has slowed me down haha.

With that said physical work has slowed over the past two weeks but I did get a few things done. More importantly I have made my final wheel choice for this build but youll have to wait for the unvailing to see them. I also got everything down to butchy for paint and also ordered a ton of parts to finish up most of the build. A few things still need some researching before I can order them up, but thats what rainy days like today are for.

Fuel cell mocked up and ready to go out to get the sump cut in and a few other modifications.
