Great looking car! At least when you're done you'll know the engine is right.

You are indeed blessed. You are at a completely different level than me, I was always the kid that drove the heck out of my cars until they broke, and then not having anyplace to do the required repairs or any other type of work, I 'd get rid of the broken car and move on to the next. I've had...

I hear you, cars are a passion. My wife doesn't understand that passion, so that makes things dicey at times

Location is western Wisconsin, Luck. It's a little over an hour northeast of St. Paul, Mn.

Stupid question alert - How do I pm you on this blog?

That price seems to be fair. It covers what I have in to it.

I didn't do the restoration but I think they must've used the fenders as well as the bumper mounts. It appears everything was done right, no cobbling.

I used Duplicolor Old Ford Blue, I like the look.

Welcome from northwestern Wisconsin! Also have a 73 Mach 1.

Okay, now go stand in the corner for an hour.

All arguing on these sites are like commercials on TV, I forget what the actual topic (show) was that I was reading about (watching).

I bought a 12" fan from American Volt thru Amazon. It can be used for pulling or pushing (I went with pushing) and fits very nicely between the latch support and fan. I mounted the thermostat to the left as shown in picture.

Welcome from Luck, Wisconsin! I also owned an 1983 Eagle SX/4 before 4 we heel drive cars were common, blast to drive in the snow. Always nice to see someone else not sitting around retired waiting for death to come for them! Keep moving forward always. Again, welcome.

Mine should be a bargain at $125k then (lol).

I tested my cluster lights on the bench using a 9-volt after installing led bulbs as you outline. It worked great and kept me from having to r&r the cluster several times.

This is what I do to keep the suspension from stretching out when lifting the car. It's a piece of 1" square steel tubing cut to 7". I brace it between the upper control arm bolt and the inner fender rail. Works great (don't forget to remove it after lowering, all I have to do is push on each...

Have done mine using new dash center piece and 2" electronic gauges. I had to use a Dremel tool to round out the oblong holes, but it went pretty slick. Much better than gauges under the dash.

Here's a pic of the tool I made after trying the vice grip method and damn near taking a finger or two off. It really worked to move the spring rod to the max position (most rearward).

I believe you would need to change the mounting brackets too, but I'm not sure because it was done by the previous owner about 8 years ago. I can try to add a picture of the mounts tomorrow.
