Hey Bryce,
Where is the trunk release from? I am going with a fiberglass decklid myself and hadn't thought about a cable release. I'm doing an electric release but it would seem wise to have a backup.

I bought it from C&G ford. They are actually about 15 minutes away from me so I was able to stop in and confirm the quality before I bought it. I paid 60 out the door.

The quality is great and work great. The lever is not modern more original.

McMaster has a bunch under control cables.

I autocrossed my falcon today! WooHoo.

It was my first time on an autocross I ran a 77.569. I ran X but they said I was SM class.
Corvettes were running 75-80 a 63 BP corvette ran a 69.xx a super modified sprite ran 64.xx.

I will post up a video after I upload it.

I had a blast, the car is driver limited, of course... I need a quicker ratio steering setup, that is my next big project. I was chasing the steering.....I think my tires rubbed a little. Brakes were great. The rear shocks seemed to get softer as teh warmed up. I think I need to something a little different with my oil pan baffleing. I think I was getting some slosh as my dad noticed that i was burning some oil after a hard turn. Motor was warming up in the staging lanes, so I an electric water pump to keep things circulating while the motor is shut off would be helpful. The automatic held up fine, I started in first and ran second the rest of the course. The trans temps were climbing at the end of my 3rd run I was seeing 200*F. I would like to keep that a little cooler. I really could have pushed the car harder. But that is a respectable time I think. The detroit locker was awesome. My tires were doing their job. The announcer said "that car is very flat through the turns for such a big car" He was talking about me, HAHA. I guess when you see miatas and S2000s all day my car is big.

Thanks, I guess my 11.75" brakes in the front can lock up the tire, HAHA!
