    Halle, with the winters you guys have you should have a correspondingly long garage season, so we're all waiting for some progress on that beastie...soon.:D

    I'm tempted, I wanted to take it to the Billetproof drags at Lakeland but I'm afraid I'd have to pick up the saginaw tranny with a broom and dustpan after a power shift.
     
  4. I see. U are a little to carefull now? Maybe you will try for real next year? U have any burnout clips or pics then??
     


  5. That was a cool one Kev.

    You are a little bit missinformed there Hasse;), we passed 3 feet last snowstorm:mad:, Looks like the spring and the summer is way long away from our country.
     
  13. super cool build! can't wait to see the finished product!
     
  14. Hello everybody!

    Maybe it's time to drag out the old Escort from its tarp and get to work again? It have been so much other things to do with, jobs, houses, family and other cars. But now maybe it's time to get serious with the Escort.

    What u all say out there?

    I have a 57-58 100e that is getting restored. loved the pics of the reframing.My motor is behind the driver seat,no drive shaft issues. I am going through the same things tearing it apart. I dropped the drivetrain,stripped the paint (7 layers),removed the 1-1/2" thick bondo , and now I'm going to start cutting metal.The car was in
    CarCraft mag. august 1974. 350 chevy ,chrysler 727 and '62 tempest differential.
    www.thebeastfromtheeast.com so many things in common , so different.
    please post more pics
