      That sounds cheap. How is the work? Long lasting results?

        Actually I spoke with the guy that painting my car and he has a guy that does rechroming. I'll probably just use his guy.

          Suspension is complete. Standard rate springs in the front with KYB shocks. Cargo coils in the rear with a set of KYB's. I really like the cargo coils, they give the car a nice rake in the back but not too much like the air shocks did. Car rides a lot smoother not as harsh. Also put new sway bar end links up front.

          Putting on the rear bumper I got today then off to the paint shop for a month.

              Nice. I liked my NOS mirrors. They looks like night and day compared to the old ones. Mine were electric, looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you to fish that wire over under the dash.

                    Well that is good. I figured Ford would make a project out of it.

                            Been a while since I updated this thread. The car is at my buddy's shop finally and body work is under way. I'm done with the half soft top, hard top conversion here on out. A few pics below.
