    I've never seen a pastel blue Boss 302. The rolled car that the Boss 302 driveline came out of was white. I have the vin and title but scraped the body. Thought I might do a re-body, but that is a sticky situation these days.

    I got one piece today that was a relief. I got a partial lt quarter from a Washington state 77 Maverick that includes part of the wheel housing and trunk floor drop to replace where the mouse nest rusted mine out so bad. I hope it's as rust free as the auction said it was. Then again I guess something is better than nothing!

    The exhaust for the 250 so far. A 68 Mustang tailpipe and a Thrush Turbo.

    Very nice blue on that carpet. Reminds me a ton of the color of the interior of my white Comet.

    Move it outside so I could clean up the garage a little. I think I'm sold on the hood scoop but not the chin spoiler.

    I'm sure you'll love the exhaust!

    Got a Cherrybomb Turbo II on the 200ci and it sounds awesome :)

    The partial lt quarter came in today. It is as nice as they said it was. This will make fixing the lower rear quarter much easier.

    Finally turning wrenches on the Maverick again. I had to swap the 72 Maverick parking cables I got from NAPA from one side to the other then they hooked up fine. Works great.

    Next is going to be installing the fuel cell.

    I just removed all the stock E-brake stuff from my 70, didn't cut anything, if you need any parts of it just pay the shipping and they are yours.

    I quit on the exhaust today since it wasn't cooperating but I did get the fuel cell installed. I'm going the fuel cell route in case I ever find a nos 70 tank or they reproduce them. This is all a bolt in where the original tank went so it can be easily replaced if needed.
