Well I got almost all of the engine bay welded up. I was welding for about 8 hours. I bet I welded up 100 holes in that car. I only left like 4 holes. The steering shaft, brake booster, oil line and throttle cable. Oh and one other large hole for the wiring harness for the stuff out front like lights. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need those lol.
Now I have about 4 hours of grinding ahead of me. I'm going to start on that tomorrow after I finish up a collision job. Between now and Friday I hope to have all the body work done on the engine bay and in primer.

I will post pics later, I left the camera at the shop.

I also got some work done on the engine I pulled out of the stang. I tore it down and got the T-Rex cam out and the Torquer V3 put in. I need to switch out the oil pans for the one that goes on the camaro and build the rest of the motor back up. I also painted the ls6 intake gloss black with bc/cc. It does not look as good as the fast 90 did but better than just a plain ol stock one. I hope to have the motor fully built by next week. I'm waiting on some gaskets to come in.

Scott, I'm not sure of the part # on the painless kit. I will confirm tomorrow. I will also lay out the ford harness I pulled out and take some pics of it. It was pretty heavy though.

Pictures of the progress. Here's the ford wiring gutted out of the car and the dash pulled.

Here is the welding and body work on the engine bay. I have about 8 hours in the welding, 4 hours of grinding and about 15 hours in mud work. I will be primering it tomorrow.
