ford has a better idea…
i spent this weekend at my parents’ house in illinois helping my dad work on the cars. we dropped the engine and transmission into the racecar to mock everything up so dad can start fabricating the clutch linkage, motor mounts and some other miscellaneous things.
for those of you who haven’t heard about the car yet, it’s a 66 fairlane being built with a real 427 wedge and a 4 speed toploader to race nostolgia super stock. it’s a replica of a car that was raced in super stock during the 60s and 70s called the going thing.
i believe the saying went, “ford has a better idea, it’s the going thing.” we also did a little routine maintenance on the mustang.
all in all, i think we made some pretty good progress. now i’m off to get cleaned up and take a nap before i head back to nashville.
