Mikelly Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Well Last night I managed to get the storage boxes removed from the street Z without further severing any arteries... I also trimmed the sheet metal for the new 16 Gallon Summit fuel cell. I need to get it on the lift so I can weld in the structural support for the cell. I also found a guy in my neck of the woods who does cromoly steel cages and I'm waiting on a call back from him with a price for the 8 point cage. I'm gonna go ahead and start prepping the chassis for paint. On the Track Z front a major decision was made this week. We're gonna build a 347 stroker ford motor for the Mustang (I"m gonna forego the Vette for the moment!) and I'm gonna take the motor and trans from the Mustang and use them in the track Z with a cam and aluminum heads after a freshening. Got a price from my engine builder, dave, that I simply could NOT refuse. Not for aluminum heads and forged bits... So, We're making some progress. I need to get some more stuff home related finished off before I can throw serious money at the Zs, but I'm feeling pretty good that I'm atleast making progress of some sort. Finding someone locally who does cromoly is a BIG plus. I was happy as a pig in poop. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
