It's been quite hectic around here but here's a quick post on the progress of my project Stang for those who read my posts in the past.
I bought a universal lock and tumbler and installed it without a hitch.
For the aftermarket gauge panel, I decided to go with the Haneline panel with the gauge set. I wired that sucker up and installed it. I still need to hook up the speedo cable and install and hookup the oil pressure sending unit, but other then that, everything works like a charm.
As for the suspension and the rear send, I've decided to keep the I6 parts for now and just go with the front disc conversion kit. The reason being is that both the front end and the rear seem to be in a good shape. I believe the reason being is that a V-8 with an auto (C4) at the mile high elevation (Denver, CO area) probably doesn’t put much more power to the ground than the I6 with manual at the sea level. If I ever put in something wild in the engine bay, that's when I go with hi-po front and read end and save the front disc kit for an I6 restomod.
I will be receiving the front disc brake kit this week and when that’s done, it’s time for the body work and a paint job!
