Before:

It was super easy. The only snag I hit was the shipping pallet from Coast was too big to fit the engine hoist around. Whipped out the sawzall...problem fixed!

Did it all by myself.
Work has been a little nuts so I was way, way late on getting any invites out.

Bill-
Pics look great!
Is that your hoist, or a rental? How much are they?
How many hours do you have in the project so far??
Hopefully I'll be taking pics like that in the next few years! ( 3 more years to go w/ my daughter's college education, along w/ 4 w/ my son after next year, and then I'll have some spare cash!!! )
I am so envious!!

Borrowed the hoist from a friend.
They're about $200.00. It's usually not too hard to find someone to borrow one from, they're only used every once in a while.
I haven't logged my time into the build so it's a little hard to say.
I have only worked on it on the weekends - period.
I started on July 28th, 2002. I had a little bit of a wait for the engine 'cause of the Sportsman Block. It was delivered in December.
It's very straight forward and ffcobra.com is a hell of a resource.

Doing a nice job
the engine looks sweet and your sheet metal in the engine bay looks great. Nice tires too.
Keep up the good work
