Thanks everyone. Should have the headlights in tonight. Vert trim has all been painted and put back on. As soon as we finish the outside, we get to put the inside back together. :)

I have a set of ford racing fr500's that are pretty messed up. We will be creating something out of those. Haven't started on them yet.

I hate people. I've been spending the last three days fixing radio wires only to find that they also cut two amp wires on each side in order to put an aftermarket amp and stuff in the car. Now I have to fix that. :cuss:

Yep. From the pics you sent they PO had no idea how the Mach system worked.

The front door speakers were replaced with aftermarket Pioneers, but the factory in the rear were left alone. The bad thing is the ohm loads for those aftermarkets are too low for the factory amps. Plus having to deal with the cut wires, etc. is a pain.

Ren, as I mentioned, if you need any help getting it straight, let me know. I will come down and help get it working right.

Awesome restoration! Looks great. Was a little skeptical when I saw the first pics, but you did a lot of work in a short time.

Couldn't do any of it without the awesome people around me. I've had a lot of help.

Thanks for the kind words.

Sam, I might need your help tomorrow. I'm taking tonight off for the cruise but will be up bright and early if you want to hang/work. :)

Some updated pics...still no hood. :rolleyes: Also need to get the wheels switched out, get rid of the 4x4 stance, and put all of the emblems on.
