Ben,

YOu need to update post#2 to say that the cage is complete. Way to go Ron!!!!!:drink::thumbs_up::D

Ben, I still meet you if you want to go. If you do want to go I'll meet you at your house and we can carpool down to Long Beach.

Let's do this thing. What time?

Done. Sorry Ron. I just updated the log.

How about I meet you at your house at 6am?

Oki doki. I'm not a morning person so you'll have to ignore my goofiness. :)

... and don't laugh at his hair either.

That really pisses me off. :)

Once I was at Home Depot and a nice young African American girl said ,"I like your hair". I was in full Jew-fro mode. No, I'm not making this up. When my wife (Japanese) gives me a hard time about my fro, I say, "black chicks dig it."

Picked up the blower from Joe on Friday. Uh, yeah, we'll be needing to find or buy a new bearing plate at least, being split in half and all. The snout *might* be able to be welded. :huh:

Joe forgot the pan on Friday, but dropped it off at my house today. Later this morning I went to pick up the crossmember and trans mount for SBC and TKO for reference or possibly using. My pal threw in a balanced drive shaft for that trans and a TII diff. Probably won't work, but who knows. Oh yeah, he also gave me an unopened Wilwood Clutch MC. I'll probably go with a hydraulic throwout instead of mechanical linkage for the Toploader.

Ben brought the crossmembers and the oil pan to me today. We installed the engine crossmember and it looks like it will be close for the SBF. It at least gives me a good starting point to fab from. Here are a couple pictures of it installed.




We also mounted one of my racing tires for my Cobra on Rx-Snake to see how they would fit. The rims are stock Mustang rims (I think from a 98) that are 17x8 and the tires are M/T ET Streets that are 26x11.5x17. The tires are about 27 inches tall and about 9.5 inches wide when mounted on an 8 inch rim and they fit Rx-Snake perfectly. I bounced the suspension and the tire just clears the wheel well without touching. So it looks like the stock backspacing for a Mustang will work well on Rx-Snake. If we install flares we should be able to run a 28x10.5 tire. Here's a picture.
