Old Geezer Starting His First T Bucket

[DonnyRay]

Hi ; My user name is donnyray. I am currently 70 years old. I am a retired county highway maintenance worker. I have a project on Miata.net which is a 2006 Mazda Miata with a 2007 Mustang 4.0L v6 engine & transmission with a 2004 RX8 independent rear end. The RX8 differential has RX7 gears. The project is 7 years & 5 months old. I have ordered a t bucket body ( big boy ) & i'm waiting for it's arrival. I also have a few parts which I am storing away. The big boy body includes a functional passenger door & windshield frame.
