do you ever sweep the floor?

the shop is 35x40 but only a small section that used to be a 1 1/2 stall garage is cement .,. so I do sweep the section that is cement alot .. the rest of the shop is dirt floor witch SUCKs a$$ but I dont have the time, money or storage to clear out the shop and pour a complete floor.. someday i will get to it but for now I just deal with it ..

looks really good with that front bumper! are you going to put something under the lower grill part were there's a gap? like mesh or something? good progress so far keep it up

Ya I am still getting the bumper mounts exactly like i want them once its on were i want it im going to make a filler piece ..

It's soon, where is the update?

 

[Toomanycars]

So heres as much of an update as i can give.. I have decided that the 4.0 just isent my style .. So i'm puting a 5.0 in it I will be continuing the body mods I have in mind just not going to paint it till the motor and drive train is in .I already have a complete 92 mercury grand marquis .. car runs like a top but the tranny is shot so thats the first thing i need to figure out .,.. convert to a 5 speed or stay with the auto and keep it simple ... .
well off to search the web for some tips and tricks to getting this all done..

Just completely ditch the transmission (they kill power) bolt the driveshaft directly to the flywheel.

ok that will make things less complicated as long as reverse is not needed
