New member...new project.....302 powered "78" Midget.
Year 2 of a estimated 3 year project of a 302/C4 Ford powered "78" 40,000 mile Arizona Midget absolutely rust free..! Chassis is completely finished ready for paint with a 4 link 8.8 Ford rear with a 3.75 gear. Mustang II front with P/R&P and 4 wheel disc brakes. 350Z cut down nose piece front and just starting the rear panel with a wing. 70 years old so I hope I live long enough to finish...! lol!

Nice work Ronnie!
And welcome to the "nut farm", looks like you will be right at home here. Are those blower pulleys? Or do you just want to make sure that the water pump doesn't slip. Live like you mean it. Fred |

Ronnie, Like what I see. The 4 link build looks impressive.
Like to talk you into doing EPS (electric power steering). On this site under "steering and other stuff" it's cool. charles |

70 is the new 40, just turned 70 myself earlier this year. It took me 15 years but I finally got my MGB running last year, looks like you are quite a way along on yours. You should start a journal.
