Finally decided to make one of these. Car has came along way since I brought it home a couple years ago. Interior was pretty shitty when I got it missing panels and what not. The paint was in ok condition but needed a really good wet sand and buff all over so I took car of that for about 5-6 hours one day. Added some gauges cause dash isn't really working to well and the tach and other ordinal gauges would get stuck as certain points. Anyway here's some progress of the car.

This is the car after I painted the hood you can tell how dull the paint was compared to the freshly painted hood.

This was after the complete buff and polish.

Added a rear seat delete since I wasn't gonna put a back seat back in.

Next was the cowl gauge pod along with the dash gauge pod. Was going to do a pillar pod but not much a fan of them on these cars. Also added the Scott rod radio/hvac panel delete.

Wash also able to find a armrest that needed to be cleaned up and reassembled. Also the Scott rod plate to close off the e brake since there wasn't one also.

About a couple weeks ago. I picked up a 351 block that has bore and stroked to a 408. Gonna do a turbo on it eventually one day once I gather all the parts for it.

Awesome man! Cleveland or Windsor 351? Props to keeping the motor Ford! Looking forward to the updates on this.

Windsor 69 block. Thanks man. Yeah I didn't wanna do a ls swap even tho knowing I could make a ton more power with it. I wanted to keep ford with ford and have fun with it. Although I do have a th400 that I'm gonna mate up with it lol.
