    Thanks , I need to credit Member Fred Carello for making the awesome seat covers. Several members here have them and every one is very satisfied with them. My seats are actually 1971 Mustang seats (same frame as Maverick/Comet) I ordered new seat foams also and then had a local upholstery guy do the modifications for the seatbelt harness slots and then install the covers and foam. The carpet is from Auto Custom Carpets. Everything is done in Black (except the roll cage is Charcoal Gray) I wanted to clarify that because my wife said in the pictures the lighting in my shop makes the interior look dark gray.

    I like the size of the Grant wheel in proportion to the dash. Is it a 15 inch wheel? Thanks.

    Picked up a very nice Grabber hood still sporting the original paint, this thing is beautiful, just the one little dent and no sign of rust. That's the perks of living in a desert, cars don't rust out here.

    Closer inspection under good light says it's mostly original paint. Where the damage is has had an earlier repair. There is a thin layer of filler but for what I paid, who cares?!

    made my wiring harness for the fuel pump, I want a disconnect so I don't have to deal with wiring while trying to drop a tank again. I also painted my fuel filter, modified my bracket, cleaned out my fuel tank, getting it ready to seal on Friday.

    installed my aeromotive phantom 200 pump in my tank, filled up the tank and let'er rip. works great. highly recommend it.

    making a recess in the tank is a must. i wish i cut the back trunk mounted square tubing that is located between the tank and the rear end thats mounted on the bottom of the trunk floor, but i got it to work, did a couple spacers on top of the tank to make sure my lines didn't get crushed.
