Paul has been busy, the hoods on the outside walls are new. I wonder who did the airbrushing, Paul or Gina? Paul is crazy talented!
 
said if he had rad he could start it in the K member..imagine end of march early april it should be running...most little stuff is done..engine tranny dash rear end...body panels being done now and when his neighbour is done paul will start finishing bodywork and assembley
 
Seriously, I just would not have the guts to even drive that car up and down the driveway.
I'm glad that curse falls upon someone else.
 
gee thanx...like l havent been dwelling on that point already...had the opp to see robs 70 Mustang last weekend...was the car Paul finished before he started mine...anyway gorgeous car...he was busy polishing it for World Of Wheels as it had been accepted to be shown there this month...thinkin l should just stuff GT in one big bottle....serriously..how did this go from a brake drum to sexy looking...
 
....serriously..how did this go from a brake drum to sexy looking...

Simple...clean,blast,paint and an incredible attention to every detail... There isnt even a single wrench scar that I have seen in Paul's work... which is doable if you take your time... but his progress doesnt seem at all a meandering pace.

She will be too beautiful to just let sit still and trailer everywhere... You HAVE to drive her.

When my Fury was finished, I drove it to Sandpoint, about 20mi, to the Lost in the 50's cruise. Two days later I drove about 400mi to Calgary with my wife following in the Jeep to watch for falling parts.:p The trip was interesting, high winds, torrential rain, construction zones and heavy traffic. Made it with few splattered bugs, no rock chips and very little dirt on the car. I think I aged about a year during that trip, but no way was my Fury going to become a trailer queen!
 
I would definitely drive it every chance possible during good weather.

Even a half dozen times down the 1/4 mile to figure out the ET and speed results.
 
... snip .... Even a half dozen times down the 1/4 mile to figure out the ET and speed results.

Don't know if I really want to know, besides that might break something and waste good sunny days in the garage while it's being repaired. Worse, I'd have to face Paul and explain myself!
 
Just a half dozen passes on a test and tune night at the track won't hurt anything. Mild burnout and floor it for 13 seconds....
