No I didn't sell it. If you remember awhile back the engine popped a headgasket or something (oil in coolant) but I couldn't get the head off so the engine had to be replaced. I found out a possible reason why the engine wouldn't but any boost and pretty much ran like . The hose on the fuel pump itself was half way off! It did have a Walbro already installed and a new hanger assembly. But Herb Jr did the engine swap and pretty much everything else, lol. He's really quick! Also found out that the cat was clogged so Herb Jr cut that out and welded it a straight pipe. So now I have no lers and no cat with stock sized pipes.
 
The suspension is pretty much all new minus control arms and bushings. The springs are Tbird specific Motorsport Springs that Herb Sr had on Project Eliminator. Along with Bullitt shocks and struts, MM C/C Plates, Flaming River Steering Shaft, MM Solid Rack Bushings, New Balljoints, Tierod ends, Chuck's Rear Shock Brackets and I believe that is it.
 
The engine also has a RR installed as well. All it's waiting for now is an alignment and tags and it's ready to hit the road. :D
 
The Bird would never be this far along right now if it was n'tfor Herb and his dad and I just want to say thanks again for all of your help guys.

DANG! Every time I think I have the wheel combo that i want for my 88, I see something else that looks sick! I HATE tribar wheels on cars, but I have completely just changed my mind after seeing those pictures!! Looks great, and has an awsome stance to it as well! I have the same springs in the rear of my 83 adn I did not get that much drop with them! The front is not lowered yet, and I am beginning to wonder that this is possibly causing the ride hight difference? Maybee...? But yours looks great non-the less!!

Me too, I can't figure out why I like these wheels. Seems like most SN-95 Stang owners hate em so you can pick them up for pretty cheap. I want to ge them widened (deep dish in the rear) and powercoated... just not sure what color yet.

Because I don't have the patience. I remember this one time... at band camp... uh... wrong story. :grinno:  I started polishing my intake manifold, and quit polishing it two minutes later. :disappoin I get the lips polished and paint the centers.
