    I also did a little work to the interior, new Grant steering wheel and am working on installing bucket seats out of a 98 Ranger. The drivers seat is installed.

    I have a ’76 4 doors Mav and I also change the front seat for a ‘84 Ford Taurus.
    I also install three odometers in my car, but I put them below the stereo section. I like what you did to put them into the dashboard… I’ll do the same, thanks for the idea.

    Thanks guys, I am looking forward to getting it finished, I have big plans for it. Maverick Man, the car does have the metal trim down the side, LDO?, and it did have the LDO buckets in it. What other things came with that option? I have had the car for only about 7 months. The car originally was a 3 on-the-tree, now converted to a floor shift. I will be putting a toploader in it. The rear bumper I believe is off of a pre-73 comet, it had those style (shorter) brackets on it, I just used the 73 style brackets with it.

    Gauges

    Thanks for all the comments on the gauges, but those were in the dash like that when I got the car. They are pretty crappy gauges and not a very nice install up close, I plan on getting some auto meter gauges and doing something similar. I could get a close up picture of them if you want, might be a couple of weeks though.
