70-DropTop 12 Report post Posted November 6, 2014 You know, what I need to do is post some new pics. There's been a lot of progress...body panels are back on, front spoiler is on, the suspension has been aligned, much of the trim is back on. Interior is still apart and I'm waiting on a few small pieces in the mail. One showed up today - single union wire cable connector to connect the Lokar rear parking brake cables to the single wire from the S197 center brake handle. Once the parking brake is done, the exhaust can be completed, and then mechanically, it'll be complete. All that's left is interior, convertible top, and engine tuning. I'm anxious to drive it, so the stereo and trimming/finishing the trunk interior will be a Christmas break project. It's been way too long, and I need to drive it!!

CobraMan 10 Report post Posted November 6, 2014 Please be certain to post some pictures of the completed dash. I to am investigating options for my gauges in my 70 convertible. The damn gas and temp are pure drama. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70-DropTop 12 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Little update...things are getting closer. HOPING, Hoping, hoping it'll be drivable in January. Some things off the top of my head...interior back together, convertible top, exhaust, AC lines completed, coolant overflow tank, panel fitment needs adjusted, and a bunch of little odds and ends...finish touch stuff. It can actually be driven down a drive or parking lot, but it sounds like a race car with the open headers :devil2: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

70-DropTop 12 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 Woo hoo! Got the exhaustt hung this week :) It's a 2.25" dual system, with H-pipe, Magnaflow mufflers, and some tips that fit the opening perfectly! On my '00 Mustang GT, I installed a Magnaflow cat-back, and it was really nice. So, I wanted Magnaflow again. As many here know, the '70 convertible cross brace pretty much makes kits worthless. So, this time I hired someone to install a custom system with Magnaflow mufflers...and they did a great job for not much more than the kit I put on the '70...very happy.

70-DropTop 12 Report post Posted April 26, 2016 FINALLY! I drove my car for the first time in over 9 years this past week!! What a great feeling :) It isn't perfect by any stretch yet...working out the gremlins, but it sure is fun. I (and my kids) love the attention it has gotten.

Grenadier116 24 Report post Posted April 29, 2016 This turned out to be a beautiful Mustang! The engine compartment is really sharp. Finally, you should be able to enjoy the pleasure of cruising with it. With the suspension and engine mods, it should be a great driver. Now have fun with it!
