Sad to say vacation has come to an end. Got alot accomplished..... My son (Joseph - 7 yrs) hit the ball twice in baseball to assist his team win in a 18 - 4 victory. My daughter Chey (5 yrs.) just a "tumbling master"! My daughter Caty - made cheerleading - it's big stuff.... My oldest Cass - I think she finally found the "right" guy - Eric's a good guy..... My wife & I worked on everything together from our relationship to the mustang. Candace (CeeCee) even updated my site. The mustang: well lets say this has been a build. Had some questions about the lakewood bell housing, called lakewood and got an attitude, so I purchased a McCloud and solved the question issue. Then adapting the custom step-hedders required fabrication of exhaust plates. Installed the hedders and engine all at once, found the steering linkage needs to be dropped. The TKO 600 - however beautiful was another challenge, appearently there isn't a clutch alignment tool made for 26 spline with ford big input pilot bearing - I made one... the bigger shock got it right first time !!! Engine, transmission installed and a questionable situation about the cam bearings on the back of the engine forced a tear down for a peace of mind. (it was resolved) Re-installed everything making for a long night.. All that's left is measuring for the drive shaft and all the minor things and then cosmetics. I need to take time to acknowledge my wife Candace (CeeCee) for her learning "curve" and staying "power" through the entire time, she was the greatest asset and friend a guy could have (plus the best wife too !!) Well in 4 days I'll be in Iraq making ice for the troops... see you soon !!
