1969Fstback 58 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 Got my tags renewed, put the back wheels on, put the front seats, rear seats in, got it fired up after 20 months if being in the garage. Made 4 passes down the drive to make sure the 2007 gt brake swap would hold. The took of on a short drive. Need exhaust. Long tube headers with 1980's glass packs or cherries, no tail pipes. Sounds like a freaking Monster truck. But it was fun to drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prayers1 153 Report post Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Drove it for the first time after installing the 351C and AOD trans. Still more engine wiring to sort out. It felt weird driving the car with an automatic. Edited June 12, 2014 by prayers1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prm2770 11 Report post Posted June 12, 2014 Got my new dash pad and the speakers for the doors and dash. Radio and package tray speakers should ship in about a week. Also started organizing my tool box after trading boxes with my dad. Not directly for my 69 mach but it is still an important and enjoyable task. Haven't really worked on her in years, hopefully this is a step in the right direction. Next is sorting out some oil leaks and cleaning up the wiring in the engine bay.

sportsroof69 13 Report post Posted June 12, 2014 I started mine, pulled it out of the garage (it's still weird saying garage after moving and leaving my shop behind) swept the floor, and backed the car back in. City life sucks and I can't wait to get back to the country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prm2770 11 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 Put in the new dash with speaker. Adjusted the steering column and lower dash brackets to see if I could get more leg room under the steering wheel and had my dad help. We haven't worked on her together in years. Happy Father's day to my best friend, role model and hero. Love you dad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10yearsgone 15 Report post Posted June 21, 2014 Silent Running sound deadener and thermal coating applied to the floor and roof. Have some quarter panel and trunk work to do before applying in those areas. Next steps - Fuel/Brake lines, Suspension, then off the rotisserie.
