so i think i just want your car:) it is coming together really nice!

what paint and color did you end up using? im needing a fresh coat and that looks exactly the shade and "depth" im looking for...
 
nice! that is my oem color, i had my front bumper sprayed last year and it looked darker than the original and similar to yours now... so i guess that is the way to go...

have you ever heard the legend where ford 'accidentally' sprayed a bunch of the med scarlet 89s in pickup scarlet that was a lighter shade.. if its true i got one... im thinking its just who mixed the paint and brand..

i like your med scarlet for sure!

no that's pretty cool but I have seen pics where they look lighter then mine when I was researching the color cuz I almost painted the car dark Cabernet red cuz I love the.color
 
so this is where I stopped for the night . Question about the tensioner is it normal for it to sit on the water pump pulley until there is a belt with tension on it ? I put my belt on and it was still rubbing right at the pulley also had a spare tensioner I swapped in same thing @84Ttop

Edit - thought I had a shot with the lower pulley on guess not
