I have a repop door that the original handle wouldn't fit. There was a brace inside the handle opening that was in the way. I drove it up a little with a punch, then the handle went fine. Ken

I think the best way to install the headliner is with both front and rear glass out. My front glass was busted, and I removed the rear glass cause I want to paint the car with it out. So, hopefully a new headliner will look great when I'm done. Ken

Need a headliner for my 70 fastback and just wondered which ones fit best and were of the best quality. Ken

Well I'm certainly no expert but if your ever up in Commerce I'd be happy to show you my setup and what I know about running a mig welder. Ken

Chris, Believe me, I appreciate all the advise I can get. Just ran across the chunk with 3:70s already installed so I was thinking I could try it. I am so ready to get to the running gear. I've spent my day so far welding in passenger side outer wheel well. I was hoping to get the quarter in also, but I don't think its going to happen today. After welding in toe boards, floor pans, whole trunk , and taillight panel, I'm about tired of welding. Ken

Thanks for the info, I actually ran across an entire 9" equa-lock chunk with 3:70 gears the other day. I was thinking it was a traction lock when I responded to the advertisement. However, when I got there and looked it over I felt like it was an equa-lock. I went ahead and bought it and then confirmed it was an equa lock when I got it home. I'm either gonna try to run it with the 3:70 gears or sell it and look for a traction lock with at least 3:70 or lower gears. Ken

Thanks for the info on the rear. As far as my car goes, I bought some new floorpans. I decided to start with the passenger side.

Bill, What gear rear did the 03 mach have in the rear end? Not sure what I need to run behind my setup. Ken

There was no motor or trans with the car and it's not a Mach 1 so, I'm going to change things up a little. I have a tremec 5 speed out of an 05 mustang thats going in the car. I'm driving a 98 Mark viii which I have upgraded with the 98 cobra cams and cobra intake. I plan on mating this to the tremec and installing it in the mustang. I think I forgot to say the shock towers are in terrible shape so they won't be any big loss. Ken

Here are a couple of more pics of the pans. The rear floor pans were just as bad. The entire trunk looked like this also although I don't have a picture of the trunk before I started working on it. Someone had already cut out the battery apron and just stopped. The cowl is totally rusted out. The quarters are rusted out at the bottom and full of bondo at the top. As I write this I'm thinking, I must have been stupid to take this on. With that being sad, I really have enjoyed working on it and I guess thats all that matters.

Hello, I've been a long time reader and thought it was time to post a pic of my project. This is when I brought it home two years ago. You could throw a cat through it about anywhere it is so rusty. I've made some headway since this photo but I have a long way to go. Ken
