Started this project two years ago. Thus far I have the underbody and engine bay completed now and fitted with 351W engine, fresh C4 transmission and new suspension steering and brakes.

Just got this email from Rich at Lucore. Looks like Greeny is going under major surgery. Ouch. But all good. He’s gonna be GREAT come spring. Will post videos. $$$$
Welcome to all the fun and expense! “While you are in there…” sure gets expensive. Oh well, the roads are too salty now to drive anyway. Since Greeny will be down for awhile, I would have them send the power steering control valve out to Chockostang for a rebuild:
Classic Mustang Disc Brake Conversions and Power Steering
Oh, and you should have them get pics of the engine block casting numbers while the starter is off, and the transmission VIN stamp if they pull the transmission. If you can show it’s the original drivetrain, you’ll feel better putting more money into it.

Hi!
Good luck with Greeny!
For me it was less expensive to restore my Italian car (purchase cost plus parts) than restoring my 67 Cougar (again purchase cost plus parts). I do everything myself so it’s helpful!
Hope you will enjoy the car for a long time.
Your car is gorgeous.

Thanks, the 47 is a nice looking ride. The 46 is all my own work. It’s been difficult and frustrating through most of the work. I have done my own work before I was old enough to drive and now over 60 years old. I have never had that much trouble on any of my builds in the past. I hope to get it out to the 1st show this spring.
I can imagine it’s harder for the builder than the ‘next’ owner.
The builder gets to wear the badge of honor, though.
The Man and his friend that built this ‘47 were nothing short of amazing and the car is a testament to their abilities.
Here they are being held captive until I find the water leak. Losing 2.5 gpm, I found it after 7 holes.
