    I guess the cat is out of the bag.

    I am indeed dropping a 4.6 into it as well as swapping a modern interior in.

    Pulled the dash so far.

                    That's one thing I plan to avoid installing.

                        +1 on that, I was thinking the same thing. The rest on that list I can see working, but the door panels... well nothing is impossible but the door panels would have to be something very original to be aero or whale-like.
                        This will definitely be interesting to see.

                          It will be a mix and match of parts and a lot of custom fab.

                            I've got to see this... you're fabricating a two door door panel from a four door interior? Not that I don't think you can, I just don't understand how (or why lol) but I love the old interiors too.

                              would probably be easier with some lincoln coupe door panels, but yes, this will get watched closely.

                                Do you guys know where I can get a replacement rubber strip for the front bumper as well as one of the rubber supports? This car must've been in a small accident and both of those are missing from the front bumper.
