Still Waiting!!!

Factory Five promised me that the rims would ship by today.  I'll believe it when I see it.  Well in the lack of being able to get the kit to a roller status,  I have been tearing out some of the parts off of my Mustang.  Some to use on the kit and some to sell.  I will be using the transmission... only 10K on a new TKO 600.  I was planning to us the rearend as well, but when I tore into it, there was more wear than I wanted and the ring and pinion were a 4:11 a little much for such a light car.  I opted to buy a new Moser 8.8 rearend with 3.31ring and pinion.  I think this will be a much better match for the car, and being new I shouldn't have to worry about it.  Also it is larger that the stock Mustang rearend and can handle a boatload more torque.  That should be here by the end of the week.  (along with my rims, right.)  That's it for now,  I will be posting pics of the Mustang tear down and parts after this weekend.   Things should start to move in a couple of weeks.
