    Thanks.
    Down in Virginia Beach. Building it for my son. But of course I will have to drive it to get all the bugs out of it first. It'll be a pretty good 20 ft. car, when it's done.

    I'm in Lynchburg. I plan on having another MCCI Mini Meet sometime later this year. Just checking to see if you would be close enough to consider joining us.

    Painted the mirrors and quarter panel extensions. Then picked up a set of 95 Mustang GT seats at pick and pull. Looks like I'll be selling the high back buckets.

    I received my new back up, tail light, running, and marker light sockets from Melvin's. So I started wiring. The front went great. The back not so much. The sockets for the rear tail/turn and back up lights didn't fit. I was a little puzzled, so I went to the shed and grabbed the two spare sets of tail light housings, thinking it might be a year problem. They didn't fit any of them. So they don't fit a 71 or 75. I'm not sure what year the other set came from. So I spent 2 hours breaking apart my old and new sockets to swap the contacts. What a pain. But now I have working lights all the way around.

    Remove the dash tray, radio, steering column, master cyl, steering ram and power valve, getting ready for my new Borgeson steering upgrade. Actually, been working on this for 7 days. Today, I plan to cleanup both sides of the firewall and remove old steering box. Got of other small thing to do while I got all this stuff out.
