This past Sunday (October 14 2018) I said goodbye to Christine. The 1300hp redhead from hell.

It's not a sad goodbye, but it is one nonetheless. I picked up another shell back in 2017 with the plans to put most of Christine's guts into it. With the help of a couple of friends (StangID and Taillights) we got the running gear out of the car and ready to go into the new shell.

It's been a long road, with lots of fun dabbled along the way. Many of you forum members were a part of Christine's revival and enjoyment, and I'm truly grateful for all the help I have received with it over the years. The amazing community we have will never cease to humble me, as so many have given their time, effort, knuckle skin and parts in order to get this car mobile and keep it that way.

The journey has been amazing, and now the heart of the car will live on in a much more stable car, and continue to improve.

Here's to all of you, and to Christine. The last picture with her.

And just a little before and during I suppose.

tell me that at least once you didn't stand in front of Christine and say: "Show me"

I hope so too! All I have to do is freshen up some small things on the motor and button up all the brakes plus get motor mounts. Got all winter to do it so I should be able to get it ready!

I did that once, and it decided to show me that it refused to do what I want.
