I missed a lot of your work and want to congratulate you on a nice looking car.
The driver seat foam in my hatch was so shot they had put layers of shag carpet and cardboard under it. The new foam buns are comfy, but taller. I’m going use another seat track and make the legs shorter for headroom with a sunroof. If you feel cramped after the new roof and seats, it should be easy to measure and cut the legs after all you did. Most welding shops will not charge much if you have things marked, lined up and clean.
I am keeping a stock height bracket set in case my shortest kid gets the car someday.

Wow. Only other time I've seen that beach empty before was when a hurricane was coming through.
I've blasted a boat through that pass countless times.

You should be making a phone call on those things, especially with the price they charge for them.

After reading about a certain feeling I have with my car . I think I need different spark plugs. The first thing I did to my car years ago was replace my plugs with I think Delco platinum . I want to go to copper , regular plugs. The old choice is the very recommended Motorcraft AGSF-32C .I Googled them and they barely make them anymore . Can one of you guys who know go on Autozone / Advanced , or what do you think?? Regular copper core Sorry to be stupid on this Need the # Motorcraft ASF32P ??? good?........Autolite #25..............AC Delco CR43TS

Thats what I was thinking , but wanted to be sure. Just checked what I have and its NGK V Power. I have the feeling its affecting acceleration. Doing them tomorrow AM for $16.00 on sale. I think copper might be the right way to go. Gap at .054

Just did the plugs , and that is a high stress job. Everything has to be perfect with the threads . I could not deal with the helicoil bs. The Autolite 25 plugs all needed to be gapped they were at 35. Any ideas on my plugs , very dry and light brown like rust. I started it up and it was a off for a minute or two. Going for a ride later. Yes I did anti sieze and I dont smoke the devils lettuce , but my daughter does . I like to garden. When they become bushes I might put a picture on.

I just ordered the billet brackets that hold the quarter windows right. Looks time consuming with all the adjustments....
