The mad scramble has finished....

Post by mert »

... kind of....

.... the transmission decided to play up, so will need to pull it. Later. Goes on a truck to the Melbourne MotorClassica tomorrow, which is ok as they don't let you run the engines in the building anyway. So only the workers the day before an after will see it pushed in and out... disappointing, but what you get taking a rebuild and letting it sit a few years before installing and hoping for the best...

Overall very happy with the build. The engine bay needs tweaking the after market Ford Racing cover look great, but are so tall as to make fit of other things tough, so they will go. Will get a proper snorkel and heat shield setup to fit once I figure out what I need for the 428PI and ram air.

Hope you enjoy the happy snaps, flash white-out and blur are complimentary of phone cams!! Will post a few from the show in a week or two...

Hard to get the metal backed veneer onto the curved surface, and as it does match the black radio bezel and console figured it could stay until I figure out a process to get the matching Jarrah on it...
