Update
Got some work done this weekend. The body is ready to come off the chassis, all we have to do is pull the 2 front bolts that are finger tight. We are working on finishing up up the quater windows and the door windows since we have to wait a little for the chassis. We fixed up the the original window chanels and put them in all 4 windows but the anti rattlers were gone so we had to buy new ones from dennis carpenter but they didnt make them for the 2dr post only the crown vic and the hard top, so we had to make them ourself.
Thunderbird emergency brake installed
newport engineering windshield wiper motor test fitted
Factory wheel tubs cut in half and spare tire holder cut out so when we recieve the art morrison chassis we can make final measurements on cutting out the rest of the truck floor. we will have to modify the truck brackets with the bigger tubs but shouldnt be too much work.
Good Floors
Anti rattlers installed.
heres our dash. The gauge pod panel will be layed out for our new gauges and we we cut some more card board templates with the idea of turning it into some engine turned aluminum pieces. I am most likely going to just go ahead and smooth out the radio, ashtray, and switch holes except for the lights, key and wipers so they will be easy to acess instead of in the console. i will be leaving the glove box to because it is still nice to put things in.
wheels were also ordered and will show up about the same time as the chassis which works out perfect
