    The way the hole car has come together is what I a'm most proud of BUT the best things are the hand fabricated parts I made and /or with the help of one very talented person ( THACK ) .

    My Parts
    Tower Braces
    Cold Air Kit (thack welded )
    Trans Mount
    Shift Linkage ( Column to AOD )
    Power Windows ( thack mods to regulators)
    Rear disc brakes hardware for under 14'' wheels

    My ideas Thack made them possible.
    Billit aluminum cup holder for Granada console
    ''MAVERICK'' EFI manifold id plate
    Horn's on gas cap

    I say my seats. My old plaid bench was in pretty sad shape so I trashed it and bought some 71 Mustang buckets. I ordered new 71 Mustang seat covers and then had the rear seat covered to match the frt seats. They look stock and if I ever mess up the frt covers...they will be avail. through Mustang sites.

    I just cant answer. Each mod has made mine what it is to me. Maybe my favorite mod is my next mod, whatever that may be? Interesting... I like reading what you all have done.
