Default Ball is rolling

Hi everybody.
Some of you have seen all my posts recently asking tons of questions before starting a project.
Well the ball is now rolling, I took the decision to go with a scratchbuilt chassis from Chuck Dalquist drawings.
For reasons given by experienced owner I have decide to go with fiberglass body.
My plan is to probably make all openings in alloy. Doors, hood and maybe trunk lid too.

I've already purchased a 1964 289 engine to star with. It will be built as close as possible to stock 289 HIPO with cast iron intake. And a generator.

I also purchased a Ford 8.8 IRS diff from a explorer which I prefer the front bushings compared to the Mustang unit.

Also purchasing a fully rebuilt T5.

I will post pics as the project move.
But a LOT MORE questions to come.
I don't know how SLOW the project will be but I know slower than I think 😁
