    Checked online to see where mine is. Sitting on a car hauler in Macon, GA at the moment. Should be able to pick it up next week. Now I just need to find a house with a garage to put it in. Whats up with South Carolina and their love of carports?

    Tore down one of the 2 carbs I found in a junkyard. Right away two of the bowl bolts broke off. Moved on to the next one....tore it down completely and have it soaking in carb soak. Then took off the vertical bumber guards. I know they cost more, it was an option but I don't personally like the look of them. I have them for sale in the classified section.

    Installed the fuel line to the fuel pump, next was the PS pump, set # 1 piston TDC on compression stroke, installed Mallory Unilite distributor, bottom radiator hose, then fan assembly, top radiator hose, and.....of all things had to stop and look up what this darn silver radio antistatic bullet looking gismo is as I broke the wire on it. I wasn't sure but after the looking up the part number (D2AA-18832-AA) it was for the radio. But anyway, if anyone knows of a replacement I can buy without digging one out of the junk yard I would appreciate it. The wire going inside the unit broke so easy then I imagine the junk yard's will give me like quality.

    Put new roof rail weatherstrip in. Old ones were about 12yrs old and getting a bit dry and worn. Looks and sounds a lot better...no wind noise now.

    Cut passenger radiator support out, and spliced in a better one from my donor car. Trimmed up the Mustang passenger front fender apron to splice in. Not Fun:mad:
