Thanks guys!

Sorry, no pics... yet. Hopefully the car will be released from Paint Shop Prison soon and I'll take some with my new digital camera.

Meanwhile, some basic info: 69 Mach 1, originally Silver Jade H-code, Metuchen car. Power steering, factory front disk brakes.

When I got the car it had some crappy copper paint and faded Boss 302 stripes. No engine, no transmission, no hood. The radiator was in the trunk, along with the mandatory paper bag full of nuts, bolts, etc.

Until pretty recently, I thought it was 'just' a base sportsroof which a PO had installed deluxe interior in. Got a little surprise when the Marti report arrived!

Car will be black/red stripes. I strongly considered the original Silver Jade, but could not resist the power of the dark side. Standard black Mach 1 fare on the interior, Ok for a driver, for now, but will eventually need redone.

Engine is a fresh 351C:
+.030"
stock crank, rods
forged flat-top TRW pistons
Aussie 2-v heads
one-piece SS valves
Comp Cams 282S cam
Weiand Excelerator (will be swapping in an Edelbrock RPM)
Speed Demon 750

Probably would have looked around for a Windsor if the Clevo wouldn't have fallen into my lap. I must admit it has really grown on me though. Sounds great (IMHO). Running a TKO 500 - the 600 wasn't out when I bought mine. Has a 3.00:1 Single Tire Fryer rear (which will soon be rectified).

Anyway, them's the highlights. Like I said, I'll post some pics when she gets back home from paint.
