1970 Stage 1 Diplomat Blue- with commentary from the original owner

The seat backs are NOT ATTACHED to the bench... It's just to check alignment and appearance.. I have some adjustments and some shaping to do... And, I have to throw a top coat of pearl on the seat base to have it match the backs... I have to get a few pieces of hardware and clean/ polish the trim, and the interior can just about be checked off as "ready for summer"..

 

Still have to get the slide clips….

 

Slowly making progress.

 

Sad to hear. It's a great car, with a great story.

 

just to put it out there, this car ran great on only 6 cylinders... after sitting 30+ years, never had to pump the throttle, nothing,

 

very very VERY healthy and stout engine, paint looks better in person

 

There have been a few people that have reached out… Feel free to message me with any questions about the car. I’m thinking I’m gonna take a week off of work to get this running, and to get the mustang back together…

 

Was out there today.... Damn thing has the original battery cables! They cut the spring rings off!!!

 

My '70 is the same way, original cables are in place, but the spring rings have been cut off and replaced by a bolt-on cable end.

 

KB head is back on and torqued down.. Header is on- just need to get the lower center bolt and the rear lower bolt tightened up. Once the carb is back from the rebuilder, the intake and carb will be going back on.. Then it should be running!!!!! Will post pics soon!

 

You did a nice job, stitching your seat up.

 

Nice work george....

 

Some random pictures in my phone…

 

The rebuilt 246 carb should be back soon…. So, spent a little time getting it ready to run…
There’s NO goop or dirty oil caked on the heads!!!

 

Can’t find Jason cooks post about the power steering brackets…

 

Took Dylan out for lunch… And help me put in the front bench seat…

 

Actually, with the PS upper seat completely cleaned/ restored out, new carpet, new sound deadening, and new package tray, there is little to ANY smell!!!!

 

seat was perfect! header is another story, one bolt away
