I have one of these sitting in my basement, needs a good home.

Looks like the ashtray light/shifter light combo.

Shoot, I'm driving mine almost 900 miles each way from NH. A 500 mile drive through the mountains?, seems like a time! ASAIK there will be nothing formal in Michigan, the official parties are in Charlotte & Vegas.

Can these be installed without removing the pillar trim? Will they work okay with the factory pillar trim? Thanks Rick.

Looking good. I'm a no wing no slats guy myself, these cars need a front spoiler however.

The front is height adjustable coil-over (Ron Morris). The rear is Global West 1 1/4" lowering 5 leafs with a 1" block. Wheel specs: Front 17X8 245/45 4.5"BS Rear 17X9 275/40 5.5"BS

Your car is flawless Buck, I hope that doesn't mean you won't be flogging it occasionally!

Real good point Bob. I bought my RM kit back in 2007 and it actually came with QA1 12-400 springs. I have never weighed my car but using the charts on the Ride-Tech site I was able to make a guesstimate that the front of my car probably weighs in around 1900 lbs. I then went to the AFCO site and using their calculator I'm in the ball park with the 400's. The chart recommends 375's but seeing that my front end weight is a bit of a guess I decided to leave them be. I'm just cruising this old girl all over hell's creation and the ride is firm but forgiving.

I'm using the Ron Morris Tubular Coil-Over Front Suspension and it is a HUGE improvement over stock and am very pleased with it. If I were shopping for a coil-over conversion I would want a kit that moves the coil to the lower control arm. I really like the Street or Track coil-over kit and would be my choice for my next project. http://www.streetortrack.com/Street-or-Track-Front-Coilover-System-pr-24491.html

Great find, the car looks fantastic!

That's the original color of my car! Looks like a great original survivor, congrats!

I like the idea of black seats for obvious reasons (dirt). The interior of your car will still have tons of white, along with the white exterior.

The Maverick master was a 74. Spring for the adjustable length rod and eliminate any trouble with using the wrong length rod. I sourced the stuff for the swap from Dan Chock @ Chockostang. He is an expert with vintage Ford braking systems. The toughest part was swapping the pedal, something you won't have to worry about. Give him a call, he's a good guy.

I LOVE the feel of my manual disc brakes. Not having the booster in the engine compartment is also very sweet. My setup is factory front manual disc with the maverick master. My car was a power setup and I'm having ZERO regrets.

Often times that damage occurs when the hood flies up. Looks like a great project, keep posting the progress!!

I have never seen a real Boss 302 with a turn signal hood scoop (notice the oval cut outs). An impressive cache of barn find cars none the less.

I have one for sale if you're looking for one.

The car is stunning, you have much to be proud of there!

I have the Terminator and highly recommend it. The ability to fine tune it with a laptop sets it far apart from the competition in the aftermarket TBI EFI world.

No offense but I think these cars would look RIDICULOUS with those mirrors. :blink:

What do you want the car to be? We need some background on how you will be using the car before we can help you blow the 7K!

Yes to everything. Looks great!

It ties in with this piece: It mounts behind the cluster. The cluster screws above the column attach to this bracket. The plastic tabs on the repro trim were metal tangs on the original, these tucked into the tangs on the metal bracket, securing it at the top.

Most if not all racks bolt in place of the original cross member I believe. I love the simplicity and road feel of the TCP manual rack. I never have to worry about it leaking, guaranteed!! It's high effort in parking lots but going down the road it is delightful.

+1 There is nothing wrong with the factory discs for a street car, perhaps if you had planned on autocrossing it an upgrade would be in order. Myself, I couldn't wait to ditch the sloppy power steering!
