Had some wiring issues, so we re-thought then re-wired. Now they will be NO drain on the batteries. We will label and tag all wires for identification.

Decided to change battery hold down / caseing...as well as TYPE of battery.

Her is the BEAST. We will make all new spark plug wires to "wrap " around the valve covers to not go OVER the top.

Check the Video of her being tuned to hear her.

I got Rob from Ford Speed (a leader in computer setups and diagnostics to set up the software and tune and time the engine so we could finish all other mechanical issues I have.

Got her timed almost to perfection. So close a "photo finish" would not  be able to tell.

Eleanor "dialed" in well. She SOUNDS just AWESOME!!!! She has a sound like I have never heard before. At an idle, she sounds as BADDD as any muscle car you have ever had the pleasure to her. However, when you "get on her" she sounds like a Formula 1 car coming down the straight away.

Final-Wheel-Design. Decided Eleanor needed some Extreme Wheels. The Gt 40 wheels were not quite "doing it".

(June 22, 07)  Dash and Gauges are in. All gauges light up LED Blue. When finished, all interior lights will be a blue LED bulb. Had to find someone who makes direct replacemeent LED's , but the power of the internet has prevailed again.

Front seats are in and have been (again) repositioned in the car towards the rear seats more to increase leg and head room. After drilling and cutting and welding (again) the driving positionis simply "awesome". However, we did not take in consideration the door panel may hit the door when closed. and quess what, it hits.
So you know the drill, pull out the seats, cut, drill, weld......
