    You're good, it was Wayyyy low:)

    Driveshaft is in and I Z'd the ladder bars today. I'm so close I can taste it! And yes I will be aligning the grill shell better and moving it back up against the crossmember.

    And how come Paris sounds like she's sayin "hooch"? :D

    The radiator is a 66 mustang 3 row. The bottom outlet goes straight into the crossmember so I had it turned up so I can have the hose pop up and over the xmember and into the pump.

    Looks great man!! Keep at it
     
  23. Radiator shop? What did you pay to have that done? I have a Mustang radiator as well, I am afraid to modify it, I like the fact that I can get a replacement overnight at O'Reilly's if a piece of road debris punctures it in the middle of nowhere.

    There's a little progress, we got the body back off and we're gonna power through the frame and finish up all the little things..
