AusTex70

Welcome to 69stang.com. Looks like you definitely picked up a good looking project.  Looking forward to seeing it as you progress along on it.  Keep us posted on it.

Now that the car is cooling well, we decided to address a leak on the valve cover. The PO had told me that the guy he bought the car from had "Refreshed" the engine. Not sure what he his version of "refreshed" is, but to my surprise the heads are 2V, and not original to the car, but look good, and run well. 

Iam in North Austin. As for the "Problem Areas", the entire car is a bit of a basket case. It was obvious that the past owner did not know anything about Mustangs, first thing I did was rework the cooling system. 
It would not heat up past 160,  I found crud stuck in the T-stat, and no restrictor plate and incorrect T-stat for a Cleveland. So, I flushed the block, had the radiator boiled and tested, all new hoses and correct T-stat set up. I also bought the correct fan shroud for the car, installed a 7 blade fan and fan clutch used on the cobra Jet engine. Now that the car is warming up and cooling properly, I can focus on reworking the Holley Sniper and Fuel system. 
I had a hard time tracking down the proper fan clutch to use with the 7 blade fan I ordered the fan off of NPD. 
8600-12 FAN BLADE ASSY, 7 BLADE
8146-5 FAN SHROUD

Here is what I found when I went to purchase the car. ;) 
I was able to drive it home, and it took two more trips to his house to pick up all the parts. The good news is that all the parts I needed where there. In talking to him, I think he was over his head on the project and just wanted to get out from under it. 
 

I went to pick up my power window kit for my '70 convertible.  These come highly recommended from local restoration shops.   I have no affiliation with the supplier, had never been there before, but as it was driving distance, I decided to go over and pick up my window kit.
What I found was a small family run business in a small town called East Bend, NC, population 620.   It is located on the East Bend of the Yadkin River, near Winston Salem.
The owner personally hooked me up with the right regulators, motors, and switch combination.  I went back in the shop, and all of the steel parts are laser cut right there.  All of the hardware was very high quality.  I chose the billet switch option, which uses a chrome plated billet base for the 4-switch option I chose for my console.   The kit uses brand new GM switches and harness connectors.   
So, if you are looking for an honest to god Made in the USA power window kit, check these guys out.   
 
 

I've been following your build. I have family and work in Houston, so Iam there often. Iam a Vintage Air dealer.. A/C is on the list! 

Finally off to the paint shop after 5 years of working on the car!   Will take around 60 days,  I have use the shop before, they’re not really fast but they do very high-quality work
I will need a recommendation on hood stripes, I’m not sure if I even want to use them, but if I do, looking for best possible quality product that you all have used.

Not quite related to the mustang, but sort of. Getting my car trailer ready for some car show future events, installed the second battery and some charging and lighting hardware, also lighting control panel, LED lights all the way around the outside of the trailer and inside. A way to keep my wiring skills up to date. 
 

Oh, here is a picture of the Nu-Relic power window kit.
 

A few updated pictures. Hoping to get it painted this summer.
