I'll take the advice and build it. Actually have been looking forward to it for years and do have ideas. Shaving the door handles was one of the ideas I had too. Thanks for the input. Pushed me off the fence! As far as color, the new Mustang green was my first choice. Little more silver than the original Mav color... something different. Interior needs to go mostly black though. Just can't handle the electric avacado vinyl interior. The engine should be pretty easy. Low miles, no real wear on the internals. Cam, intake, carb, headers. Ran out to the local pick and pull this afternoon. Found Explorer rear discs but no luck on the front. Only Granada they had was already stripped of the front brake parts. I know I'll be spending a lot of time here and look forward to it. Thanks guys.
