    Today I learned that a Comet hood from P&P will fit in a 1st gen xb. Will 4 door bucket seat tracks fit a 2dr? I assumed they would.....from a '74.

    I am still looking forward to a first run. I did a lot of work on an estate property (7 weeks), and will get paid out of escrow.....so until then, or I get caught up without it, I only get to wish.....but I had a little stash for a Comet hood lol....and a cam change got kicked a few dollars more down the road. So I am one step closer to a Mexican shelby clone now. Gotta keep my priorities crooked.

    Nice little haul! The tracks will work if your car is 74+. They have the adaptor for the cat hump. You can make it work for an earlier car though.

    I replaced the antenna for my stereo...….got a telescoping one with the original base and cover. I did find out that I have a bad Sirius antenna (cable is knicked) and I'll have to take the car apart (interior) to put the new one in. Glad I have a spare!!!

    I bought a pair of junkyard gt40 heads about 2 years ago. I have read a bunch about bowl blending and such, so one got torn down and ground on. I will take pictures on the second head, as the learning curve will not be so steep on that one. Gonna swap upper end when I get all the parts stored up.
