Resto mod

It's been torn apart almost as far as I dare go. Time for some rust preventing, rewiring, touching up, customizing, and re-assembly. Adding AC, heat, gauges, seats, stereo, fuel injection, overdrive, electric fan, "posi" rearend, and new windshield. Trying to complete this build in 4 weeks. Here goes!

How about some pic?

First pic. quite a pile of parts.

Putting them back together is the best part to me

I agree. I decided to start posting when I was almost done with the "teardown" phase. Just welded in my first custom bracket for a front speaker.

This is gonna be fun.

Is that an A-Team van in the background?

I like the color too...keep the pics coming, I want to watch it come together

Guilty! I built an A-team van about two years ago. Posted the build on another forum. I'll post a link if anyone wants to check it out.


Awesome video Luxstang! Your car has the perfect stance. I originally stuffed a 5.0 from a junkyard into my mustang for a music video a couple of years back. I'm just now getting around to cleaning it up and making a reliable daily driver out of it.

Ok, some things are awesome stock, but the sound of a single paper speaker that is over 40 years old is not one of them. Some nice quality speakers I got on the open box table at best buy. 40 bucks.

Four weeks, four weeks! keep us posted.

Four weeks sounds like a great goal, keep the updates coming.

Time for another update. Made a few modifications to the dash. Decided to make a new access for the computer and fuse box.

Ok, compartment created, computer in place. now to make some brackets to hold the computer, and then some for the fuse panel.

Got the computer mounting figured out, and test fitted it with the speaker and new air duct in place. Now to fab some kind of fuse panel mount.

Looks great !

Just too cool! Great fab work... too good to be true?

Looking forward to following this saga. Pics are great!!

Approximate location of the fuse panel. Looking forward to a long weekend of interior prep, and dash wiring.


Now I won't have to be a yoga instructor in order to see the fuses. Whoever designed the original fuse panel must have been a tiny flexible sadist.

Just... WOW!!
