I installed the firewall mount and installed 1/2 inch spacers on the body and now the hood clears the distributor. I have ordered rear axles from the drive shaft shop that should be in next week and a carbon fiber drive shaft that will be in in February. Coilovers will be ordered this week from Ridetech as soon as I decide whether or not to go with the adjusters on the coilover or the version that allows you to adjust them from inside the car.
I wonder how many more times I will have to lift the body up. I believe the roll bar will be next on my list so I can finish the rear wheel wells.

Looks awesome… any updates?

Update
Hey everybody I am still here. We had a fire at our house in Feb. and it took me till last month to get everything back together. I have only been able to move the car into the sun to let the body do its moving around before paint (and to look at it I can't lie). I have told my brother that before getting back on my car I will help him get his 33 ford street rod on the road. He has helped me with every car I have owned ( labor and LOTS of parts) and his car is closer to being done than mine. I will include some pics of his car.
I did receive my drive shaft after 9 months (I told them I was not in a big hurry,my mistake). The drive shaft shop built me a 2.25" carbon fiber drive shaft with 1350 joints so hopefully I will not have to modify the tunnel.
Just purchased a Bend pak 4 post lift to store my car at my house until I resume work on it. I am also going to disable the power to make it harder to steal. I had a few issues setting it up because of to many springs on the release mechanism installed at the factory (6 hours of banging my head on the wall). After removing them it works great.

My brothers car
Here are a few pics of my brothers car. That is an all aluminum rear end and if you look close you will see we ground all the casting off of the block and heads.
