Nearly there!
 
New time poster long time builder - Having purchased a body chassis kit from Robnell in 1990 I have nearly finished (there are some thing you should not rush). The engine will be started and tuned next week and I expect to have it to the engineer in about 3 weeks. I have not joined the "darkside" I am running a 302 Windsor EFI '92 with a 4 speed top loader (none of these whoosey auto's) withy the mandatory Jag rear end. The paint is 2 pack red and I will post some pics soon.

way to go Flip, sure you pushed the right keys when you punched in 1990 (thats 14years ago) some of these guys were still learning to drive. That sure takes patience to hang in there that long. If its taken 14yrs so far there's still time to move to "the darkside" Welcome and look forward to your pic's.

Flip,

Its not how quick you get there, its the fact that you do get there.

Good engine choice, but hold on about the auto......

Whilst your busy changing up and down, I'm changing the CD and adjusting the seat;)

If I had the choice again, I'd choose manual - only because when an auto plays up its down to the tranny shop!

Ah well, beggars can't be choosers;)

Aloha Flip,

Looks like you took your time, used the
right stuff, and I'm sure, did it right.
I can guarantee you that you will be glad
you didn't take 17 years!
Welcome to the club.
