Weird, I haven't been getting any email updates for these posts.. sorry guys.

Clint and I have been emailing back and forth, but figured I'd reply with the information here too. I also have to dig thru my paper notes/drawings to find the spring dimensions and rate I settled on for the reverse lockout solenoid.

Little long-overdue update... I haven't sold the car to fund the Fox body! Haha... not even a funny joke.

Truth is, my girlfriend and I bought and moved into a house this past May/June... so that has keeping me slammed on top of an unseasonably-busy work schedule too.... no complaints there, just no time to do anything pleasurable yet, really.

BUT... now I have my own driveway, and 20'x20' two car garage! I've alluded to it a bit on Instagram, but haven't really posted anything about it anywhere since it's been such a messy shitshow of moving and organizing the new house/property.

This is one of the first days of moving everything into the "unpacking zone"...

If I back in, there's a pretty good amount of room on every side of the car. Eventually the bins/rack behind the car will go in a separate storage room in the house, and nothing will be next door or leaned against any wall around the car..

Unpacking getting a little less crazy, but then starting to bring more tools over from my parents' garage...

I get a chuckle out of how shocked some IG people get when I show the car getting used as storage... apparently that's a faux-pas....

A little more re-arranging and storage room happening with the same style shelving/brackets that I've used at my parents' garage for over a decade...

The yard was a scene from Jumanji before we had a long whack at it with some gardening tools...

And some pics of her in her own driveway for the first time!..
