I finaly got the time to pick up my new 73 Mach-1
The car was born in october of 1972 and was an original 351 2V car with Fmx and Medium Copper Metallic.
The car now has a 400M from a LTD from 76, the trans, a C6 is from that same car. The color now is Kawasaki green. But it will get a new Mustang red color with the Mach-1 stripes and some Cragar wheels. The deluxe interior is painted white but im going to change it into black. It features a deluxe interior with folddown seat, and the instrument group. A long console with clock with more. The car was an AC car, but the system is gone, the same about the electric windows :(

I have now taken of the grile and all of the interior. Im going to post pics from the resto her. Im hoping to get this, my other Mach-1 and some other americans ready for the road in april

The last owner bought them NOS in 1990 he said. The same with the backlight !
Most of the work is sanding and painting, i`ll post pics when i do something more with it :nice:

The other is almost finished. I have turned that car to a 71-72 looks. And the grille is under resto by a company in my hometown. I havent started it up yet. But mainly the part thats not finished is: Dasbord - starting it up - mount grille and hood lock and hood.

I also have to adjust the suspension
 
A little update on the Greeny.
I havent done anything to it since the last post :notnice:

It has been standing outside my brothers workplace under a cover. We took of the cover last night because we are taking the car to the barn we have (turned it into a big garage) We actually are going to take that car and my new 79 Mustang to that place today, but it has been snowing all night :notnice: :( :bang: I just hate snow !!
It turned out that some punks have stolen the gas cap that looked like new :bang:

Now im going to use the christmas on my three Stangs :D
The other project is now getting a new engine...... :nice:
