| Gary, Thanks for the recommendation. I will pick up a copy and see if it is something that should be done. I'll keep you informed about that. Mr. Ketter, You have a sharp eye. Those 16" Lincoln wheels are so light it's unbelievable. They would make super front runners for a drag car. However, for me, they are just being used to set the ride height. The landspeed tires on order are 15".

| Bill, this one is for you.............. With all the race car building and reporting this winter, I thought should hold back on sharing what little I managed to complete. With other cars finishing up, I guess now would be a good time for an update. The stock Mustang II crossmember is in and the frame rails are reinforced. Driver side. 
Passenger side.

Something a little different for the rear.

| That crossmember looks right at home Charlie. Once you fill in the holes left from the stru towers it will loook factory, except to those who'd really know any better... Nice...

| Charlie, after watching you climb into the brick, and the way this one will like shape up, I've got to ask... Were you a gymnast? I've got to start doing yoga or something...

They don't call you "Big"redtodd for nothing. I'm over 6 foot and 220 lbs and I feel small standing beside you. Actually, with the brick there is a method of ingress and egress or I don't get in. Riding the bike a few thousand miles per year helps too. Except now after our crash, I have difficulty getting in and out of our van. The Comet should actually be easier because I will be setting about even with the "B" pillar.
