Not unless walking by it and looking at it counts

Any updates of this project??? Or do you have any current photos you could post with a few different angles of this brilliant idea. This one just doesn't show us a clear picture.
I just looked at your concept photo again, and now I can't get my mind off of this car.
I hope you regain interest soon!!!

i was home for my brother's wedding but was just too darned busy to get a chance to go check out this project.
He lives just a few miles from where i was staying.
I did however see about 8 fieros driving around in my old hometown (Middletown), while i was there for the week, ... it was really exciting.

Well not a few miles anymore. I am moving as of right now. I bought a house on the street I grew up on in Cincy (Colerain twp). I am 500' from my parents and 400' from my grandpa. 3 bed, 2 bath brick ranch with full basement on 2.15 acres. It only has a 1 car garage but I plan on building a 4+ car garage for the projects. I sold my C-1500, the red CJB, and also Da Coupe this summer and the yellow car will be up for sale late spring of 2008.
I got a ton of projects going on now as always! First- I got a 1979 Checkmate enchanter. It is a 21' speed boat that is about 800 lbs with a 200hp outboard that I am painting right now. Stupid power on a fast light hull ! Realistic fire, skulls, and a few other paint graphics on it! Painting this and the truck to match each other. It will be done spring!
Second- I bought a 99 chevy crew cab dually. 4wd with every option. It is hit hard in the front frame and I am going to do a frame swap on it with a complete new dog house.
Third and back on subject- I plan to get the VERT running before spring time. I got all the powdercoated parts pulled from my storage bin this week and put into the basement. I still need to get the engine, trans, and subframe home but I will be doing that before this weekend. I would say I got a week of just creaning the dust off all the parts!------------------ Brian Blair

It is a vortec setup from RSM. The motor is fully built and I am running at 10psi max. I would guess it is somewhere in the 300hp area. Never dyno'd it. I am having problems with the auto trans slipping durring the shifts. It will all be coming out and the stock motor will be going back in so it can be sold. I will keep the motor and will be looking for a 88 5-speed car to drop it into after the yellow one is gone

No I go it in my grandpa's basement garage till I am ready to work on it this spring. I am tripping over the engine and trans in the new garage so I might get it out sooner so that I can bolt it all into the car for the extra room! My last house had a 2 1/2 car garage that was overstuffed. The new house only has a 1 car so I dont have the extra room.
