Hello y'all!
Recently I got my dream car: a 1971 Mach 1 in white. It's a car I'd been pining after for a long while. The car (of course) has some issues and I've been slowly trying to work through them. Some are major, some are minor and some are TBD! The car itself is rather high milage. I'm guessing 105k and is a respray (it originally was red). If i know what I know now after having it a little, perhaps I would have gotten a different one and just painted it myself, but I'm sure any car that was in my budget would have a few gremlins. Overall I'm really excited about the car still. The fact that it isn't perfect I see as an attribute, not a failing. I plan to make some perhaps heretical additions to the car, and if it was a real beauty I would feel bad.
I've decided to use my thread here to help document this build and hopefully any issues I square away will help other people with their issues. If anyone has suggestions as to what I'm working on, I'm all ears!
(Also the name is a play off my last name, Reina and the 90s dance craze the Macarena)
