RPM 1,190 Report post Posted May 25, 2022 Drove to Canyon Lake TX to pick up my first love from a buddy. My first vehicle was a 56 F100, which I foolishly sold circa 1980. 3 Mach1 Driver, EastYorkStang and Grabber70Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs these parts installed, which were included in the purchase: The wiring kit, Vintage air kit, Seats, Steering column swapped, Exhaust, Chrome grill, Front frame horns welded back on to use front bumper, Exhaust, Brake pedal, master cylinder and booster, Baumann 4R70W control box, New oak bed floor with new stainless strips, Leather bucket seats. I need to make a tranny cover to fit the 4R70W. Holes need filled in the firewall and dash face. The cosmetic stuff can be done when it's drivable.

Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted May 30, 2022 My father-in-law was a building contractor, and built every house on his street. He became friends with one of the neighbors, and whenever something went wrong at his house (even 40 years later) he always jokingly claimed that he still had a warranty from the builder. I think you should evoke such a warranty from Mustang Steve :) 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
