How about this whole car full of bird seed bags and bird sees stuffed in vents. I dont know why people do that stuff.

 

Console is all back together and we just got back from a victory lap around town. The hood mounted turn signal indicators are way cool. Here are some more photos.

 

Ye i loved havein em in my car.

 

Update: engine & trans are out, part of the suspension is in.

 

Oh cool. Glad to see I'm not the only one who rips out the old suspension and replaces it with a new modern one. Are you doing the work yourself? What kind of kit did you buy? How much did the kit cost? I finished my front suspension last summer. You can check out my build, I got a ton of pics up... I'm currently installing a heidts 4 link rear suspension, with pan hard bar.

 

Looking good! You hit the lottery?! Get that differential leak stopped or all the other work will be in vain when it locks up.

 

Lenor, I'm having this phase of the work done by a hot rod and custom shop. They installed a Mustang II suspension.

Kennyg, thanks! The differential is on the to-do list.

Tuesday, we test fit a wheel and ordered wheels/tires. Sorry, crappy cell phone pic is all I have.

 

Cool let me know how it handles.
