Haha! Joe!! I feel like it's slower than a snail in molasses but I REALLY want to drive to PF next year so keep on pluggin' away man! Engine swap should be in the next 2-3 weeks, then it's getting everything back together!

Got the big ole ugly hole patched and the hole for the T5 shifter box cut. Need to clean up and seal underneath then paint. Next up is getting a few welds on the remaining trans mount pieces to reinforce them. Swapped the front driveshaft yoke and flywheel got resurfaced.
Hoping to get engine/ trans swap done before we head out on vacation in a couple weeks but may be early October!!

You need to get that installed so you can test it out and drive down to Arkansas on October 20-22, you would be driving right past my house if you needed an escort
See Ya,
Mike

Someday we will all have roadworthy Comets at the same time and we can show the rest of the car world what a bunch of cool Comets are
We may be all too old to drive by then
No tow truck but I do have a 16' flatbed trailer if needed
See Ya,
Mike

Finally got the 260/ T-10 out! I was waiting for the brother to get here that night & actually got it pulled by my lonesome before he got there!
Probably the fastest sale in CL history (for me anyway)...I listed the engine/ tranny & sold 'em in about 15-min!
Nice guy that's gonna use 'em in a 64.5 'Stang.
Got all the exhaust stuff ordered and a raft of other junk. I'm hoping to get the new motor in before it gets any kind of cold!!
