So as most of you may have figured out by now this project just can to a screeching halt. My BIL has a history of get DEEP into a project and then letting it go, this was no exception. I spent endless hours trying to make this project safe and streetable only to have a Rollback show up and haul it away. I did contact the new owner and updated him on all the issues I had encountered, along with all the modifications I had done. His plans were to swap the chassis out and update the drivetrain, he was leaning towards an LS.
Death Trap was replaced with a '68 Mustang, so go figure. I drew the line at that, he will need to look elsewhere for someone to complete that project.
