Yes, you are correct that was really the best part of the road trip, getting to meet two members face to face. It was fun to meet you and CWalker in person and hang out and talk cars. Especially the part where you busted my chops about picking up parts for my Mustang in a foreign car, LOL. In my...

Hi Bob I don't know if you have a tilt or standard column, but I have had both in this one car. I purchased both of my turn signal switches from Rock Auto also, so I assume they were the same brand as you have. I rebuilt and refinished my standard column first and installed all new switches...

I can't remember for sure, maybe you can help me remember, I don't think they looked exactly like they do now when I bought them from you, haha. After I got them home, I disassembled the column and cleaned and painted it all black and then reassembled. I checked everything for proper...

Thanks it is coming along, hopefully will be driving it by end of June. It may not have an interior or be fully assembled, but I have driven more incomplete cars as daily drivers back in the day, so nothing new to me, haha. Once I paint the body I will install the headliner and then the...

My friend's daughter's boyfriend was just in a wreck with his Mustang. He spun out and a truck ran the vehicle over. It is a shame about the car but thank God he is alive and not too badly injured. Fortunately, no one else was in the car, anyone in the passenger seat or rear seat probably...

BTW, sweet looking orange 5.0 Mustang to the right of the prep station in for repair. I guess they replaced the front end, the young guy who owns it forgot the "they go better than they stop" rule.

LOL, I did mention that I drove it out of the prep station and over to the body shop across the street, right? I think I might have but just in case. The only issue I had is that it doesn't look like my back lights and brake lights are working, LOL. 🤣 It is almost like driving my Jeep with...

I got back to the body shop yesterday morning for the first time in a bit, and my friend Mike and I block sanded the quarters one last time. We used 180 to eliminate any sand scratches and smoothen the panels out nice and sharpen the lines a bit. Mike inspected all of the body panels and felt...

I agree, unfortunately the tanks are expensive, but it should be more in line with what Sheriff said for the gas.

I agree that the seat fabric looks cooler both visually and comfort wise, it appears to be a little later to me. My older brother had a '77 Pinto cruising wagon when it was brand new and he had upholstery that looked somewhat like that. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of his actual car...

Welcome from Chicago! Nice looking vert!

It looks like your PO just ran the speaker wires from the kick panel to behind the door panels. On my current car, I drilled the factory holes out in the doors and cowl and found some original Ford boots on eBay that keep the speaker wires as well as power window wires (if equipped) safe. Of...

Welcome from Chicago! Like the others have said we would love to see some pictures on your new ride. Hopefully it will be an easy rebuild considering it was just done recently.

Welcome from Chicago! Nice looking car! I was happy that you were able to confirm that it is a Cleveland engine with the help of the Gurus. There are a lot of really knowledgeable people on this sight and as you can see they are all willing to assist. I have learned a lot from them and continue...

Welcome from Chicago! Congrats on the new addition to the family, looks like a nice car.
