New to Mach1 forum. Nice!!

Looks like you have a nice place here so I thought I join in. Hopefully I can pass on some of my learning (of what not to do, Duh) to others.

Just a short intro. Bought my Mach 1 (original Black Jade 351W/auto car) back in 1988 as a shell (but with drivetrain) from the 2nd owner, and pieced most of it together with a friends Mach he was parting at the time. Drove it and won a lot of trophies at the local 1/8th mile drags. Fast forward to 4 years ago, we stripped the car bare and did the full on rotisserie resto-mod, and still have some things to do (Mach stripe and window trim and some insignificant wiring...power antenna, AFR gauge).

To whet your whistle, a couple of the "mods" to the car: Unisteer power rack, Street or Track front coilover setup, 08' GT front discs, rear discs, TKO600, and a soon to be done 408.

The picture is of the car right before we rolled it into the trailer to take it to Vegas for the 50th, and yes, we had a blast.

Looking forward to reading posts and sharing what knowledge I might have! SCo_hmmthink

Welcome to the site!

Very beautiful car you have there and the liscense plate is pretty nifty too. Is the deal on the hood for a turbo or is that something else?

Very nicely done.

So, what ended up being your favorite modification?

Welcome, glad you joined us here! The car looks great and I like the mods you did to it. Looking forward to hearing some of your "what not to do's". After all, they are the best learning experiences.
