'71 RestoMod

[Panch]

Hey guys, finally got to join the club this summer! Here's the progress so far:

Courtesy of the PO before me: 2in Suspension Lift, new tires, new wheels, replaced clutch, replaced master cylinder heads, new head gaskets valves and painted engine ford blue. Plus odds and ends

Raptor lined the floor
Painted the exterior, dash, inside of both doors
Upgraded headlights from stock, including amber DRL Halo's hooked up to a 2 prong switch.

In the chute:
Replace both main and auxiliary fuel sending units

Future projects:
Front disc brake conversion
Power steering
OD transmission swap (thinking a ZF5)

Great job! Lots of work to do yet but it Looks like you’ve got a good plan ahead of you! Does it have a cage in it or are you planning putting one in?

What color are you thinking about for final paint? I know that’s a long way out but cool to have it in your head or my head Ha!

So I actually already painted it the final color! Went with Ford's Pearl Gem Green. Still have a bit of wet sanding and buffing to go and finish it up but love the color.

Decided to go with a copperish color for the grill and tailgate instead of white, but trying to find a shade that wasn't too orange was rough. Just picked up some vinyl wrap in anodized bronze metallic and did a test run and I think that's the winner!

Well been a busy few months! Got the front discs, power steering, and hydroboost all installed. Finished swapping the 3speed for a NV3550 5speed. Traded the hard top for a soft top and roll bar cage.

Finishing up an EFI conversion this week, then just have to throw the top on and we're back on the road!

The copper color in the grill really looks good, very original idea.
