I sold my turn signal hood on craigslist last summer, turns out the guy that bought it lived less than a block from me bought it for his '67. Needless to say I found myself s new friend.

 

Bought mine from a guy that lived about a mile or two from my house. He had to go with a cowl hood for his, so he had to sell his original hood.

 

Sounds like a plan, I hope you plan on keeping ner now. I know I've gone through different thoughts about selling it or trading for a newer Mustang with a lot less work involved.

 

Here's the damage, it doesn't look bad in the pic. But the headlight buckets are cracked through, the drivers fender is bent down, the latch was bent, grille was torn up, and the fenders were pushed back. It wouldn't have been real bad, but the tow hitch is what hit the car.

 

OUCH!

 

The turn signal hood is going off to get soda blasted tomorrow.

 

ouch, so much for those cracks in the paint.

 

Is it a place locally who does the soda blasting? I have some stuff I may need done.

 

I'm not real sure actually. The guy does the stuff for where my dad works. So we just find out when he goes out there to pick up parts and ask if he can do one for us. He did my dads truck, but that was about 4 years ago.

 

Thanks, I'll just check around, I'm sure there are several places around that does that and media blasting also.

 

Bought the following so far for my V8 swap.

Frame mounts
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
AN fittings

All I need now are a few more fittings, fuel regulator, and the hose, and that will complete my fuel system. Then I will order my clutch stuff, and cooling parts.

 

Which engine are you putting in?

 

Efi 5.0

 

Donor car or getting a crate motor?

 

Sorry about all the questions, I'm thinking ahead on what I'm gonna do. Right now I leaning toward a crate motor.

 

I'm just going to buy one off of craigslist or ebay. Ford crate engines are way too much money.

 

It's going to be one of the last things I do, so I'm going to save and I saw some crate engines going for around 3K.

 

Frame mounts came in today, fuel stuff yesterday, and more on the way. Also just bought a pair of 2011 5.0 emblems

 

That's a good start!

 

Yeah, found out I don't need to swap radiators too. So that saves me a few hundred too
