    Made this center switch/gauge panel for my new updated air ride setup. It now has 4 corner independence which is nice for full adjustability. 2 way manual gauges and wrapped in black vinyl

    Completely rewiring the car using a Painless Performance integrated wire harness. Its the chassis and LS engine harness combined. More pics to come. Lots of little odds and ends for the engine bay are now installed.

    Decided to go with a Tanks EFI tank setup. 255lph pump. This car was modified to fit a 64-66 mustang/falcon tank so that makes finding efi setups easy. Tanks INC is a quality product.

    I am with Devon on this one, I just saw this thread for the first time and really dig the build. Looks great to me.

    So what's the story behind the hideaway lights? Looks real good. Or were the headlights just eliminated and grilled over and relocated? Can't tell 100% from the pics.

    Well I wish I could answer your question but unfortunately I myself do not have the details as it was completed prior to buying the car. If I somehow do find out I will post the info. From owning the car for almost two years now it looks as if someone made a completely new grill eliminating the headlight buckets.

    Cleaning up the weather stripping channel and surrounding area for paint before I install my new trunk seal and install the trunk lid. Giant pain in the ass
