...

so new the heart is out of it for a full EFI conversion swap....w/ 302, GT40 heads, E303 cam, Shorty headers, custom exhaust w/ O/R H-pipe..

then on to cut the springs up front, drop blocks out back and disc brake conversion....

she's been down for about 8 months...

1969 Ford Fairlane 500 Sedan
302, C4 trans, Ford 8" rear end (i think--the bullet proof one)

Wimbledon White, Blue interior

needs a small repair on the p/s fender by the door & o the PS front door but over all the car is SOLID w/ very little rust or Surface rust

should be a fun cruiser when done. i'm looking at a 'surfer' look w/ bamboo floor mats, Tiki Shifter, surfboard rearview mirror, and wood steeringwheel w/ potentially baby moons on stock wheels and whitewalls...
