Not another Mustang restoration thread.

Just be happy you have some to take, most of my battery problem at Green Lake was removing the seat---

Tim, that floor project turned out great! Haven't seen the finished product until now.

There is so much want in that photo. It's like a time capsule from my formative years. You guys with color. I"m afraid I have a vanilla boat for my vanilla life.

yea I never had them for the drivers seat,just the passenger side. For as much as I use it I'll let the next guy worry about it

As I recall the bucket seats sport original vinyl, for 46 years!

I polished the spare set of valve covers last night. I'm really not liking the look of the original bolts on them. Probably won't notice them once it's together but they make some nice plated and SS ones but they are allen heads. I'm trying to decide if I should have the machine shop build my spare H/M and offer it for sale. I really don't need a spare hanging around. It may be just the thing for someone who wants to re-power.

John check out what ARP makes, I used their black ones for my cast covers, they are 12 point ones

John,
If you are going after the chrome look and get SS, it needs to be buffed. The SS comes out almost looking like chrome but to tell the difference, you need to look at it real hard. I've been forced to use lot's of buffed SS fasteners on restorations because the availability of chrome platted brass is limited. A loose (unsewn) wheel on the pedestal or bench grinder and "cut" and "color" compounds works best. It's real hard to do by hand!!

John how did the guage panel work out?

Good lord John. Is that engine for the truck that will pull the mustang?




Wow

Nice John. Is that light we see the end of the tunnel?

Like that color.

That's a big engine is what I meant.

Looks like I have some work to do. Want to start over John?

What's wrong with it? that thing should be out making smiles.

I seem to remember using Champion F9Y's but not 100% sure. With the P heads and their smaller plugs I use something completely different now. Here is something I found when I googled Autolite BF32-
