[Options for More Seat to Steering Wheel Clearance?]

I installed an IDIDIT tilt column, moved my seat pans back 6" and installed MTF seats (2" lower than competitor seats). I am 6'7" and now fit. Additionally, the inner qtr panel interior pieces was sectioned by 2 inches and wrapped in leather to allow the seat to recline further (can recline all the way though it is not needed). The back seat is eliminated with a custom fold down that stays down at all times. When your 6'7" people can't sit behind you regardless of the car

Stripes and lettering painted and cleared. Ready for cut and buff then back to the the mechanical 

[Meet QUEENIE.... 69 Gulfstream Aqua Build]

I completed the majority of the body work ( shock tower removal, both quarters, jams and rocker) myself. The shop I went to insisted on media blasting the car or they wouldn't warranty the paint. Said they need to verify the work was done correctly and if it was, would only be a small price to get it back to where it was. I was hesitant as I put lots of hours leveling out the areas and blending. Needless to say I gave the go ahead and allowed the blasting. The cost from a blasted car to finished paint along with a few extras was approx $20k. That included gapping the panels, tucking the bumbers, front and rear glass, custom painted stripes, and blacking out all the chrome. You get what you pay for. The shop warranted the paint for the life of the car while I own it. You could see the paint on my progress forum

Mach1, doors only

[Power Window Options]

Looking at converting to power windows, heard about the glue in versus bolt in glass options. I need to get new glass all the way around so now is the time. What product did ya'll use for the power unit?

[Fitech vs Sniper vs ?]

I went with the Holley Sniper with Holley EFI fuel tank and the Holley Dual-Sync Distributor, all is controlled via the integrated ECU and touch screen. I have it connected to a performance built 4R70W AOD trans, which sync's to the ECU as well as the trans ECU (adjustable shift points). Engine is a 408 Stroker Windsor.

Did  your  painter color  sand the clear then re clear  again  ?

Yes, he says it makes the c!ear much smoother and if any trash is in the first layers it comes out. His paint jobs are amazing so no questions here.

Getting closer.....

[Auto to TKO 600 Conversion]

I have a similar set-up, went with a Wilwood manual booster as the vacuum was insufficient for a stroked 408. Removing the booster also provided more clearance

In the paint booth. House of Color Candy Brandy Wine over base coat black. Looking forward to the end of the week!!

MTF - Are those the same seats you sell on your website?

More gap alignments

 

[69 Mach 1 / 408W]

My pics all went bye-bye awhile ago, unsure if I'll keep dropping pics, but this the latest. Final stages prior to paint. Shaved the rear bumper and tightened up the body gaps. Hopefully paint in a month or so, waiting on Mustang To Fear seats. Removed the seat pans, moved back 4" (I'm 6'7"), need the seats prior to burning in the risers in new location.

[Transmission coolers]

B&M. Moved AC to pass side to clean up AC lines which run between the fender and engine bay

[2013 Mustang seats in a 69 Sportroof]

CG in Texas, do you have pics of the reinforcement plates you used? I am 6'8" and needing lower seats. Was on the impression the seat platforms are vital to the structural integrity of the car.

[67/68 tail light panel fitment]

Not a big fan of the bulky, protruding tail lights on the 69. Does anyone know if the curvature of the panel matches between 67/8 and 9? My thought was to get a 67/8 tail panel, cut out the light area and weld it place of the 69 tail light area. Then I purchase the items necessary for a 67/8 and I have flush mounted tail lights....thoughts?

[Fuel filler neck mod]

Want to relocate the filler neck to the drivers side sail panel, I saw a picture of this mod a while back but can't find it anymore. Anyone see this before??

 

[Fuel Filler Relocate]

Anyone have info on relocating the fuel fill neck from the rear to the drivers side sail panel (upper qtr) with a cobra style flip cap? I saw pics a few months ago on the web where a mod was done to a '69, it looked pretty cool. I can't for the life of me find the pics anymore :(

[Rear Axle Question]

I went with a Currie crate 9", you can choose spline, gears, and add brakes. I had them weld my four-link brackets prior to powder coat, they did at no charge, just had to mail them. https://www.currieenterprises.com/67-70-mustang-crate-rearends

[1970 Convertible Restoration]

Way to go Vic....I pulled mine back and out, going to the original color scheme of Ford Chrome Yellow, lots of sanding in the engine bay to remove the new/old paint.
