hsean's project "resto mod"

[Ozz]

Thanks John welcome to stangnet
Hey Ozz I will be upholstering the rear inner quarters as well soon it will complete the look I'm after

Awesome, doing the whole thing like that is going to make it 10x better. BTW that yard by me just got a 4-eye 5.0 in a couple days ago. Most the engine is still there, I just saw it today

by the way it is running i started her up last saturday still looking for a return line for my power steering rack.i have the hose but the rack i bought didn't have the fitting i don't want to run it like this and burn the pump out.

 

[Ozz]

Do you need the hose or a fitting all the way to the rack? I have some PS stuff laying around but not sure how much/what.

Do you happen to have an extra pressure line? I need a new one as mine is leaking.

no problem thanks for looking there is a guy in belleville that has one that i will pick up tomorrow hopefully that and the harness to the 5 speed trans.i have to move my car into my neighbors garage this week so that the kitchen cabinet guys have somewhere to place the mess that they are going to create.

well not much progress because of other projects, i had made an agreement with the wife that i would finally update the kitchen as long as i got to spend money on my car this past summer.

here is the final result of one month of work i took 2 weeks off from work the cabinets and granite i hired out but the rest i did.

it took me close to two months to finish painting the garage and appliances i painted the freezer and and fridge with automotive paint.i finally got back to working on the car

i finished all the electrical routing and hiding under the dash for my ambient lighting and routed in installed all the switches for my custom center console.
