Do you have your current wheels sold yet?

Not that it's my business, I'm broke now, but I think those would look good on my 4 eye car..

Not sold yet. There's a local Stang guy who wants them. We'll see what happens. I may stack them in the garage until I'm sure I like the new ones. I have the springs here, and a whole trunk of parts......Hopefully swapping the TFS-1 cam for the H.O cam and 1.7 roller rockers. I traded the TFS-1 cam for the rockers last week. The rockers will come soon, then after I install them and remove the cam, I'll ship the TFS-1 to it's new home.

The new wheels may sit in the garage until after the new paint is on. I'm not in a hurry to install them yet. Just getting them was the ordeal. Now, that's one step closer to getting this car back in top shape again.

I installed the rear SN-95 vert springs and the new lines for the air shocks, and the minimum required 25 psi in the shocks, the car sits level. It will take some time to get used to not having the rake any more. LOL.

I also installed the H.O cam last Thursday as well, and still using the Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers. The 1.7 Cobra rockers should be here late this week or early next week.

.........and now to find out my electric fan motor is ping out. !!! Ordering a new one today.

I will install the struts later this week, and the new wheels are here. The plan was to go with 17x9 all around, but up front, they are too wide, so, I'm sending 2 of them back and getting 17x8 for the front. The new hood will go on soon, then if all the stars align, paint in July.

After the cam swap I installed the OEM Turbo Coupe header panel. Gold nose on a green car. Here we go again.

Once I get this thing back together, and I'm as happy with it as I was when it was painted 3 years ago, I'm going to do a few final bits to it, then get a py car to daily drive and park the Sport.

My friend Jerry did the work. That's the simple version. The story of this hood, as he and I have spoken, could make up whole book.
