As soon as it's roadworthy (next few weeks) she will have it. I should have all the parts I need today to get it there. Disc brake kit, the fuel elbow and screen, and the new brake lines.

-New ignition system with electronic ignition

-Completely new brakes to include lines, master cylinder, and disc brakes for the front.

-All new fuel system minus carb (rebuild kit enroute)

Lots of work to happen tomorrow and as soon as it's done it's time to plan the surprise.

Are you putting some 6x9’s in the back?

Nah, it's not a Camaro and I'm not a Chiefs fan.

Work on hold, new AC to be installed tomorrow on my planned work date.

I know a guy who has some fosgates that fell off the back of a truck. Pm me.

I didn't snap any photos today but I did finish the disc brake install and put the new brake lines and master cylinder on. I'll knock out the rear brakes sometime this week, hopefully before the weekend. After that I think I'm just waiting on the fuel pump and carb

Davii, has she been asking questions about what you’ve been doing for the last month?

Nah, she thinks I’m working on the Mustang whenever I go “work on the car”.

How is she doing health wise?

Getting better and stronger everyday. She’s working hard, she’s put 13 of the 23 pounds she lost back on, and exercises daily. She has a lot of muscle and joint pain, one of the tests her hematologist ordered shows that she probably also has rheumatoid arthritis. So, good news, they said her bone marrow is working completely normal. It is creating white blood cells normally, they’re just not living long. She has no genetic disorder causing her neutropenia, but her WBC count is still low. She was going to take a work trip to San Fran with me but her doctor advised against her flying until they get her white count sorted.

So, in short, she’s doing great. Still a work in progress, good days and bad days, but on the right path. Just hoping they find what is causing her neutropenia so she can stay healthy into the future.

Finished up the brakes and fuel system. Runs pretty damn good, took a nice little ride. I'm looking at surprising her on the 22nd at a BBQ she's having at the house for all her friends.
