Muletman

I had to replace the floor pan, drivers torque box and rear frame rails. I added global west sub frame connectors to strengthen the chassis. I replaced the doors and installed 1970 bolt in glass. All of the interior was replaced with either new or used parts, what is in the pictures is what I received the day I bought her.

I never liked the red inserts or the red stripe on the seats...here are a few shots of the car the day I bought it.

Installed the center console and drivers seat. I am running regular incandescent bulbs in the instrument cluster the clock has LED bulbs, I like the regular bulbs...

I ran into clearance issues with my shaker assembly, I came up with this as a fix.. It is a K&N filter top with an offset base to clear the distributor and a 1/4 inch spacer below the base. I think it looks better than the original shaker set-up, what do you think?

Getting closer. I think I finally have the timing right, had a problem with backfiring through the carb. It turns out that the MSD ready to run distributors vacuum advance was causing too much advance, so I capped it off. It is now set at 11 degrees initial and 21 degrees mechanical, all in at 3000rpm. I may bump the initial timing up a degree or two... 20170406_194444.mp4

Making more progress, this is the first time these lights have been on in twenty years. It's coming to life.

Check out Opentracker Racing, I went with the Mid-eye setup.

Machspeed, the valve covers were produced by Ford Racing, check on Ebay. The AAW kit is their Classic Update series, the crimpers are available to rent from AAW, I ended up buying them'

test

Making progress, I am fitting the front end. What should the gaps between the panels be? I am trying to figure out what the gap between the fenders and cowl should be.

Could be a dealer installed parking brake light.

Looking good Fantastic! What intake are you using and are you using a spacer under the carb?

Engine is finally in, all down hill from here...

Tgriffin91 The power steering pump came with my Randall's rack & Pinion steering kit. Getting all of the pulleys to line up has been a challenge.

Almost ready to install engine... 351w Performer heads and intake Howards street strip retro roller cam/lifters Holley 680 vac. secondary electric choke MSD ready to Run Distributer, Hedman full length...

390 mach1, the wheels are American Racing Nova Series 701 17x8 4.5" backspacing, tires are BF Goodrich KDW2's 245-50-17. I am running Mid eye leaf springs.

I don't think I will put the side stripes on, I do have the stainless rocker moldings that I will install.

Engine ready to go in.

Interior at 90%, wiring complete from the firewall back.

Ready for engine

I used weather strip adhesive and then put Dynamat over the cover, they aren't going anywhere.

Okay, ran into an unexpected delay. If you are going to use the American Auto Wire kit, you will need to rent two pairs of crimpers for the GM style connectors. AAW will rent them to you for $25.00 per month each, you pay for them up front $190.00 but if you return them you get 140.00 back. Here is a pic of my trunk wired with my 6.5" powered sub in the trunk.

70Nightmare, my seat belts did not come with any instructions, although I remember seeing a picture of an install and the manufacturer claiming that the stock mounting points would be used. You cant see it in the picture I posted but there is a lever that holds the end of the belt and it is bolted to the car with the retractor using the same hole. I also ordered the correct bolts for the upper mounting location that allow the assembly to swivel freely.
