Couple of videos [update]

[TheJ]

The past few days have been nice so I took my Mach 1 for a couple of drives.

This one was a few days ago with no mufflers or driver's seat, but boy was it fun. I couldn't find reverse for some reason (brain fart), you'll see...



Thanks for looking.

Looking good. What did you use to video the ride? I want to post some video of my 71 just as soon as I get it back from the shop.

My sister took it with her iphone, pretty good quality for a phone.

Your car is a tough looking beast in it's current state!

I'm going to follow your cue and remove my rear seat and tail-lights for increased reversing visibility

It is amazing how much more you can see out the back this way, also cut out the passenger side quarter panel which is great for that pesky blind spot. The funniest part is the rear window is filthy dirty but it's not like you can see out of it anyway. I find that sticking my head out the window works good as well.

I thought the baling twine was a nice touch. Wheels look great!

J,

I will need to stop by when I come up to K-town after Christmas. I will be staying at my folks house out in Somers.

Thanks guys it was a blast. As for the twine that's custom right there. First order of business is weld up some seat brackets for my budget Recaros, which ought to be interesting.

Haha, maybe but I didn't see any cops roaming around all day so I think I'm good. I took my uncle for a ride in it and he was adding up all the tickets I would get if I was pulled over, I think the final tally was 6 or 7. Waving at people in a "junky" car is pretty funny.

Yeah sorry about that. It is an accurate representation of the volume level in the car though...
