Last picture is my "Cat 5 Condom".   I cover these connectors by cutting off the fingers on my Nitrile work gloves, and putting them over the connector to keep dirt, etc out of them.  I am sure I will get some comments on this.....

Looks like you're exaggerating on the size that you really need to use ;)  Things are coming along very nicely Vic !

Did you give a slitter look a thought ? Great fab work !

Your hood sure turned out good

Things looking great ! Curious on what you're running for a spare tire ? 

[Lower Dash Color]

It's should be done with an acrylic lacquer w/out using any clear coat.

Is this the same color as the steering column?

Yes, the upper parts anyway.

Ok I thought they were going on the speaker cover. 

['70 Grabber Orange Mach 1 Resto]

The turned out spectacular ! This was one of my favorite threads to follow. Great job Jason. 

[Converting my 69 Mach 1 to Right Hand Drive - Australia]

Looks amazing !

[Options for leaky radiator during long trip]

Yes very fun to flush it out of block and cooling system...

Would a lapel pin work Ok ? Just epoxy or glue gun one on. JAT

[How are you wrapping your wiring?]

I hate the look of vinyl/electricians tape, makes things look like they've been repaired. I use hockey stick tape where appropriate. It tears/rips easy instead of pull and stretching or having to cut, comes in different colors and looks like factory fabric tape. Also doesn't turn hard and brittle.    

[Thanks for accepting me.]

Welcome ! Yes pic's indeed 

[Mach 1 resto in Australia]

Was it the computer or the beers ? hehe ;)  The front is coming along nicely  

[Mach 1 resto in Australia]

That's funny, what beer do you boy's like to drink ? I like the atmosphere of your garage with all the brick work.

Nice looking list of goodies, the louver looks great ! Who's rear spoiler did you get and how does it look. Some of the repops I've seen lately look pretty cheap. 

[69 mach 408w build]

Looks like they did a nice job, car is looking pretty sweet ! 

[69 fastback roof medallions]

After doing this I realized that you probably have your boomerang moulding on.

[Wideband sensor and gauge]

You will need a gauge that is capable of reading/displaying dual readings as each sensor will never have identical readings. Did a quick search and found this for you :  http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/dlg1.php . I still don't believe that these are well suited for carbureted applications.    

[Original flat black Mach 1 hood paint???]

Hopefully Brain Conway will chime in, if not send him a PM.

[69 Fastback Wiring Woes]

Welcome ! Good to see you make it over :)  Do you think you have everything ? Did you start this project ? Manuals can be somewhat helpful, but if you don't think you have everything maybe consider something from Painless or American Autowire. Lots of help here also to maybe help figure out connectors and what not. 

[The Bitch is Back!]

Looks good Bob ! Are you keeping the deluxe wood inserts ?
