I'm disappointed you don't have vette wheels on it yet.

I am thinking about it...
It needs tires and I have three sets of Vette wheels. But they don't really fit. But I also have spacers for at least two wheels.

Nice!

I've still got several misc trim items from an '86 if you end up needing something.

I might need some. Will keep you in mind.

So far only had a short drive in it. Steering is shot, brakes have partial presence on some corners and constant presence on one of the corners. Transmission is crusty, especially 2nd gear. Power windows are non op, tach not working, fuel gauge not working. But otherwise it's great

I used to own a ford once. But those are not mine. Even the step side is not mine anymore, but I still work on it/drive it occasionally.
Which reminds me that I need to get my motorcycle closer to my house as it's current stashing spot is about to close up.

Edit: I lied, i still own the 2006 e350 van. Completely forgot about that one for a moment

The whole car is crusty, but workable.

That thing is really cool! Someone back in '81 knew what options to check off.
