The weather has been really cold outside, so I opted for inside work this weekend. Got the dash holes cut and the gauges / lights mocked-up. 2 good things came from this - 1) everything looks how I wanted them to and 2) I was actually able to find all the dash pieces I’ve been hoarding for a couple of years. I need to black out the headlight and fan knobs, touch up the paint on a couple of bezels, cover the dash, etc., but its a good start before wiring begins.

Is that the harness that's currently available made by Alloy Metal Products? Looks like you stripped all the loom off, any concerns with it? |

My harness is actually starting life as 1963 Galaxie underdash, front lighting, and engine harnesses. It has a similar fuse box and firewall plugs as the Cobra. I have 64 Falcon wiring bits for the heater / defroster. I’m harvesting wire ends from other scrap 1965 Mustang harnesses that I have. The rest is wiring and bullets from British Wiring to tie the Ford wiring into the Lucas lights and switches. It’s a lot of splicing and fabricating, but it will fit my car and should (with the help of the Lord and lots of continuity checks) get power from the battery to it’s intended target.

Hey Glen! Your saddle looks great, about all it needs is to be beat up a little for that cast look. Then again, once it's against the bulkhead no one will be able to tell the difference! Cheers, Dennis

Thanks Dennis, but it's not mine. It's Stacy's (Ivygreen65), and yes, he has done a great job on the Shelley jack.
Cheers!
Glen

Got my 289 block and crank back from the machine shop after 6 months. Not the shop’s fault (they’re a great shop) - they have been dealing with manpower issues like everyone else. I told them when I dropped my parts that I was in no rush and to get to them as they could. I have the short block buttoned up and am waiting to get my heads back (had to have 6 cc taken out of them) so I can move on with getting the rest of the engine assembled.

Stacy, you've either got the most wonderful wife, or you're divorced. that is your kitchen?

I do have a very understanding wife. However, I do most of the cooking at home, and with that comes certain "concessions" as to how the kitchen is used. |

Stacy,
I do all of the cooking in my household, but that still wouldn't fly with my wife having a transmission on the kitchen counter! Good luck with the rebuild.

Says the guy who makes fresh pasta at the track at Watkins. After he brings homemade gravy and braciole! How many did we feed? 50 plus? All I did was cook the fresh pasta and sauce it. You need to try Jim's food. And soon wine from his micro winery.

Stacy, surely the actual situation is that your wife is visiting family on the other side of the country, and she has no idea that you're rebuilding a cast iron gearbox on her kitchen counter top? 
Cheers! .... and good luck!
