Still working on mine.

Got the Frame/suspension this fall, and am looking to get the body etc. next year.

Brand new (pretty much stock) 302 that I built last winter. Was planning to bore out a boneyard engine, but someone got there first and it was already shot. So I got a new block and crank from FMS and built it up myself. It was very satisfying to hear it come to life knowing I did the thing myself.

Right now I'm putting the suspension back together after painting the frame.

Specs: Planning on a T5 (don't have yet), 3.50 rear with posi, will go with the 15" tires - am leaning towards PS Engineering. I'm also leaning towards a deep red, kind of like the old Butler brochure photos - I'm going to have to do some research to find that color.

Am extremely satisfied with Midstates. They're great to work with and customization is the name of their game. I've heard nothing but good comments about them also.
