Aside, I love your car bud. It's going to be so nice once you're finished with it. I think we deserve several videos once it's completed.

I love the lift... My 1st house I built a 30x40 shop and i had a 10,000 pound lift in it and when I sold the house the new owner made a big deal to keep the house. since he paid 35k more than what i would have sold the house for I just went ahead and let him keep it. The new house I bought already had the shop and every time I went to buy a lift something else more important came up... when I started this build I told the wife I was not going to build this car on the ground.

Here is all the pictures I have of the car since the day I brought it home and started the build. I bought the car in the beginning of September.

Up-date, I got the car back Christmas Eve from paint, I blew up the motor in my other car so all time time has been focused on getting the motor out and to the shop to be re-built. Maybe I will get some time this weekend to start getting the car put back together, I will post some pictures of the paint here shortly.

Like NemeSS said, 4-5 hours....

More than likly I will sell this car when it is completed. For the right amount of money I will sell it rolling, I'm wanting to build a 31 Model A Ford truck and put this twin turbo motor in it. I already have 2 F-Bodys for daily drivers so Now i'm really wanting an old school rat rod project.

I spun a rod bearing so I'm having HKE build me a forged 370
