So ... how's the progress? No doubt you have had a busy summer and here we are with fall harvest (what little Iowa will have) close on us.

Have you been able to progress on the Mach 1?

Well Steve with the drought looks like fall is coming early this year crops don't look good around here.But I did get radiator in yesterday an aluminum 3 core haven't taken any pics yet shops a mess and cant shoot photos that way.cant find the fan so need to clean to find and need dash put back in along with passenger seat.Thanks again Don at Ohio mustang for the interior.

Thought you all might have wondered about the 69 I injured myself at work 2 weeks ago and they said I had a concusion and stitches in my elbw and broken nose.All is fine now and we are busy at work so who knows how long till I get back to it.I did get the radiator in and found the fan now not long.

Injuries are never good and never come at a good time.

Be careful out there. Glad your "okay".

Get-R-Done when you can. Biggrin

Glad to hear your all right, being hurt sucks! Being "Really Hurt" makes it hard to pay the bills. As Steven said be careful. You only get one shot at this life, and as far as I know they haven't allowed Mach1's in Heaven - yet! JTS 71 Mach1

Well not much progress since tornado in June of 14 but I have bought different wheels and tires and disc brakes for the Mach. Then just ordered new exhaust it will be here next Friday. Also purchased a new car trailer for it was cheaper than building another garage.
