Looks great Bill. That goes to show that you don't have to do an in service resto to have a very nice SSP.

No new pictures worth posting, but I have made some more progress on the car.
  • A new steering rack went in, so now the car doesn't gush power steering fluid when I turn right! A new PS pump and lines were installed too.
  • The badly cracked dash pad was replaced with an aftermarket piece from Fox Mustang Resto. Generally speaking, I am very happy with it, but the lip does curl up slightly at the middle of the dash. But it looks 10x better than the cracked and faded pad.
  • A new exhaust is going on the car today. According to the previous owner, the car had a "CARB-legal" non-85 exhaust system consisting of 4 catalytic converters, cross-over H-pipe ahead of Flowmaster mufflers, going back into pitted stainless tips (now with rusted, broken pipes). [post #74 shows the driver's side tip hanging loose] I will be replacing the exhaust in pretty much the same fashion, except that two of the cats will fall off the car.


Some members may consider the aftermarket exhaust to be a cardinal sin, but after painting my drip rails black I figure there's no reason keep her stock now! New 8.8" gears and LSD are next on my To-Do List.

This series of pictures show the new aftermarket dash pad, as well as the "more-correct" seats -







The dashpad peaks at the center around the bezel, but it's not too bad.

No "cardinal" sin Bill. As long as you don't try to stuff an LS1 under the hood you should be OK.
