Finally got my Mach. Only waited 17 years.

Very nice looking car - nice progress report. I could not open the pictures of the new interior but will come back later to check them out. Evidently you replaced the windshield pillar trim, where did you find them?

I love the black/silver combo. My 2 cents opinion is to paint the bottom argent/silver like the factory did. For some reason w/o the contrasting color it looks like just another sportsroof and not a Mach1.

StevenHarris: I bought the windshield pillars off ebay. $150 for the pair but they were in showroom condition - no rot.

vamach: I totally agree with you. It's on the to-do list.

Speaking of which,

Is the argent striping on the bottom typically a sticker or paint?

Car's been running poopy lately. Took a close look under the hood. Holy crap.

1. Stupid Holley carb has blown AGAIN. I finally said forget it and switched to an Edelbrock 650. MUCH better now.

2. In the Spring when I tried to jump the car and it started smoking - yeah, it turns out I fused two of my distributor wires together. Whoops.

3. The dude before me who installed this ignition system was either lazy or stupid. There are bare wires hanging around, connected to nothing, that if ever given the chance to touch metal would arc in a heartbeat... which you know, should be fun.


Well, I guess I have a new project. It's OK. I didn't really want those Mag 500s anyway. Angry

Yeah man, work's been crazy busy. Barely enough time to check my own email. But I'm back! I don't know what happened to the youtube vid. That was put up by the seller, not me. I'd like to get something up there once I get this thing up to spec again though.
