    I'll be painting the interior this weekend as well as finishing up all bodywork for the front end. Whole front clip will be in gray primer for a while, until I go over the rest of the car.

    I also bought front and rear seats from a 96 mustang today for $35! Now I just need to make them fit...

    I would, but I don't want to have a leather or vynil interior. Just cloth. Thanks anyways though!

    Not really positive on the black gas but my guess is the inside of the tank is rusty.

    Most of the bright trim mouldings are stainless steel but some are aluminum like the headlight bezels and the front hood trim.

    In the last two weeks I've replaced the top and bottom radiator hoses, water pump, timing chain, all new gaskets.

    I also bought a Hot-Spark electronic ignition and ended up connecting it wrong, frying the coil and the module...:whistle:
    So today I went out and bought a Pertronix and a new coil and everything works!

    Now to Install my speakers and new head unit.:dance:
