yeah minor updates, had to get a new gastank. put one from a 66 mustang in there cause it was $125 shipped with a sending unit, the fairlane one was $350 not shipped without a sending unit.
the trunk had a little more rust then we thought, but it's an easy fix, just a little swiss cheese. i'll try to get pics of what it looks like now and what it looks like after we finish it.
the exterior got a quick coat of rustoleum flat black, we had to cover the blue quick and didn't feel like doing a good job. looks good from far/far from good
got new tires for it and painted the stock rims red. she has started working on the interior, but i don't have any pics of that yet.
we are installing a radio in it this weekend
our long term goals is to drop a 302 in it and a nice automatic tranny with overdrive and make it a super reliable daily driver
we might go with a fuel injected 5.0 motor for added MPG.

Re: wife got a new car
well still don't have the radio in, but i did fix the gauges.
since we bought the car none of the gauges worked, pretty much the only thing that did work on the gauge cluster was the speedo and the generator light. sometimes the blinker lights worked, but most of the time nothing.
the lights that lite up the gauge cluster didn't work. nothing worked.
THE ------- THING WASN'T GROUNDED
Dammit, now everything works great except for one bulb that needs to be replaced.
also i fixed the turn signal cancel thing. it was in the wrong place.
steering wheel is now centered while driving straight.
that's all i got for this update.
