Worked today, just not on the car. I snagged a few pics on my way out though. I fully plan to work on it today though.
 
Halo's in. They really make my seats look worse. They arn't dyed to match the seats as I'm giving up on the white leather idea. I'm perfectly fine with a raven leather set. So they stay grey

 
Trunk after being cleaned and all the tar paper ola removed

And a front shot, miss colored ( I don't think it's original to the car) and freshly repainted headlight buckets.
P.S. the hood just isn't closed all the way, thats why there's a uber big gap there

Eventualy, when it gets paint. I'm not sure if it's too bad to save the door or not really. Anything is worth a shot I guess

i'm not digging the halo's on the seats.  the headlight bezels look great though.  the car is definitely coming along.  it may take a while, but someday it will be what you want it to be.

Keep chugging at it, at least yours is mechanically closer to being able to drive then mine.

I'm figuring out the fuel pump away from done. I don't know how much longer I wana fight with it. I've been trying to dodge the bullet of a nice Holley or carter E pump from day one, and I've about had it. I pulled it and there is nothing that mechanicaly apeares to be wrong. It has good pump action out of the car, yet in the car all the thing does is click/knock. I duno.

It looks fine. The Fuel Pump Ecentric is on tight, pump only goes in one way. I duno. I got LOTS of other work I can be doing but I kinda liked having a running car

I just got an Email to someone who saw my craigslist post about a set of ford heads. $100 for a set of P heads. Now before I just on these, I know they will "work" but I'm not sure about the headers. Anyone think mine will work with the swap?

I'd ask a lot of questios.That's pretty cheap for a set of heads.I'd use the headers for the P heads.Those heads have a different plug angle.You may need new plug wires as well.

I have a correct set of lug wires. The only question is will the Mac's work. And if now what will. I'd rather have a set of GT40's as I KNOW they will work with what I got. I'll just take the hit in power

The *P* heads need specific headers. MAC and Ford Racing make some (I use the Ford Racing ones). If you use *P* headers you will NOT need new plug wires. I run the standard Ford Racing 9mm wires with no interference problems. The headers you have will not work as the plugs stick pretty much straight out instead of being angled back. I'd be a little leary of a set of *P* heads for $100 though.......

Well, it's $100 and a Holley carb I gots layin around.
How much were the P speicfic heades? Is it really worth it to put them on over GT40's?
