So we gutted the old girl in preparation of the new pans and toe panels... engine compartment is detailed out, new brake lines, Shelby modded front suspension and power disk brakes are installed... Holding off on the motor and trans until the pans are done.

The current plan is to get her running with the original 289 and then transfer in the 5.0 HO and EFI from the 68 after the car is a driver... I just had hand surgery on the 31st so things are slow going with the boys working and back in school...

I keep having to remind myself that its a driver for my sons and I cant go hog wild on this one...
