    :dance:
    I bought my first Ford since High School when I found a 70 V8 car. It ran,well it moved under it's own power. But I have performed a total disassembly. I have rebuilt a 351 W for it, rebuilt the C4, converted it to a 9" with spool and 4:11. It will be painted red with black interior. I added the grabber hood form Unlimited and purchased a stencil kit to put the 70 stripes on the side and 71 pattern on the hood. Rebuilt the front end, brakes and rear suspension,

    I also welded in the comp eng sub frame connectors that are for a 1st gen camaro and added a drive shaft safety loop.

    Now I am completing the body work and will hopefully have color on it before end of March. I am dying to start putting this thing back together!! All of the completed assemblies are crying out to be handled.

    I am trying to figure out how to upload some pics??

    project pics

    I acually picked it up on a Tuesday if I remember correctly...mid August of last year

    Then that weekend a buddy of mine and myself started tearing it apart, with the intention of media blasting the body the next week.

    I attached some pics of the media blasting (80 grit garnet inside and bottom with walnut outside skins)
