7026 is finished - Graduate # 21 of 2012

Delivered in Aug of 2009 and finished, registered and driven yesterday. Complete kit with IRS, heater/defroster, s/s sidepipes (ceramic coated since I hated the inevitable discoloration), leather seats, wipers, windwings, sunvisors, 351W stroked to 393 with Dynatech stacked fuel injection, TKO600 for the basics. Pepper Gray (Eleanor) with Ford Shadow Gray stripes. Loved the project, love the results and can't say enough about the support received on this forum as the many, many issues associated with a build developed. In one case I received answers within minutes of posting! A truly great experience.

Oh, if your EFI ever goes missing, I swear I had nothing to do with it.
No need to look down my my.

I hope you enjoy the heck out of driving it.

Very nice!

Stacks always look good and I think I like the look of no rollbar.

Congratulations. Hope I'm not far behind you.
