Since Dude said its ok to hijack his thread with camero pic. its my turn.. Some of you have probably seen it but its the 69 that I recently finished up... The owner is wanting to do a 70-71 but I'm not sure I am up for another build just yet... Besides its getting awful close to warm weather.... I'm like dude not as much personal boat work going on as I would like... I have been swamped with regular shop work latley.

Lets see some pics of the Saleen!
They were some fun rides in the day. I had the 69 from '86-90 and the 70 from '90-95. The 70 was 12 second car with 12" slicks and mini tubs. I've had the 87 Saleen since about '97. Its the #10 car that year, 99% original and has 43k on it.

Enough car pics after this. You got that engine done yet???

For some reason I always pictured the Mustang in white. Very nice!

Rumor has it that Matt is picking up the block at the machine shop today. Apparently the ceramic guys haven't done anything in the past two weeks though. I swear...

That '69 came out really nice! And I dig that look on the 70. I actually just picked up a set of weld drag lites for the Camaro with 9" slicks and 3.5" pizza cutter for the front... Things may get silly quickly!

Just talked to Matt. The machine shop guys shet the bed and F'd up the line boring of the new rear main cap... So, another week to get a new rear main cap plus boring and clean up...

I'm going to start taking side action on how long it will be before I say "F this" on this motor and buy another one instead...
