Thanks for doing a thread I'll be watching.

Thanks! Now that I've disassembled the Fairlane, I'm seeing a lot of stuff I missed when I bought it. In all fairness though, it was 8 degrees and the car was sitting on a dirt floor. So, I wasn't too keen on crawling around under it.
Time for a project update. I've been keeping at it pretty steady in order to get a slot at Pro-Strip Indy. They said they could accept it the first week of November, so I need to finish removing everything that doesn't go in the stripping tank. The gas tank, some brake lines and brackets are all that are left to remove. Plus I have to weld up a cart to transport it on. I have a reservation with an outfit that will haul it to and from Indy in an enclosed trailer.
The big news, though, is that the Coyote & six speed has arrived. Took a couple of weeks from California, but everything made it safe and sound. I paid a few bucks extra to get the headers and cats. The ECU and pedal assemblies were included with the auction. The engine came out of a 2017 Mustang GT with a bit over 10K miles. It's a MASSIVE engine! Even with the shock towers removed, it will fill up the available space completely.
