Sweet!

Very cool!  I recall it from when you first showed pictures quite awhile ago.

Just starting the restoration and polishing of all of the exterior stainless steel. Fun!
Thanks

Looking great Pat! Nice and shiny.

The original Inland shifter had a mechanical reverse lockout which was disengaged with the T handle. The Tremec 6 speed also has an reverse lockout, but it is operated by a 12v solenoid. So I modified a door jam domelight switch to fit inside and added a top spring to hold tension on the T handle. This will either directly operate the negative side of the solenoid or a relay? I haven't quite decided how I will wire that in yet. I just need to add a slight dogleg bend to the shifter, weld on the 2x1x1/2" mount block and then send it out for Chrome;-)
Thanks

Looks good.

While not at your level of quality, I also used an original 4 speed shifter for my 67 charger when I had a T-56 installed.  Interior of the car looks original (is original) while the transmission, motor, etc. are modern

I'm using the American Autowire classic update series harness. Very nice harness as it uses all of the original connectors. None of the ends are installed so you can adjust the length of the wires as you see fit, along with having all of the additional wires needed for a modern car such as electric fan, electric fuel pump, door locks, power seats and power windows. It looks original with the same color code, but with one nice addition all of the wires are labeled every 4 inches. Instrument panel worked out great!
A few modifications along with a couple brackets I made to hold the new fuse box securely, with access from the glove box.
Need to paint the gray plastic face plate black to finish it off.
Thanks
Pat

Doing the American Autowire on my 70 and LOVE it!!! Good Crimpers are key, but love it..

Very nice. Are you adding wiper delay? Any changes like converting to volt gauge or extra capacity alternator?

American Autowire makes a great harness, this is the 2nd car I have used their classic upgrade series. 1st car was my Son's 68 Bullitt mustang. I like how all the connectors are factory type crimps with the right tool!

I did convert the amp gauge to volts, but no wiper delay as I'm sure the only rain I'll get caught in is a monsoon ;-)
Thanks

I knew I should have ordered that for my Brothers 67 Mustang Fastback.. Ordered a stock replacement from some guy in New York..

What Derwin said, but you should buy their crimp tools.
Thanks!

I had assumed the AAW box would hit the hinge and had thus planned to build a hinged, drop down bracket under the dash.

Might have to steal your setup instead...looks great!

[alfaitalia]

The plastic glove box helps make it work much better than the factory cardboard glove box.
Thanks

I'm sure if you're covering the first class airfare we could work something out ;-)

I keep reading and enjoying this thread even if I don't send thanks regularly - you should know I deeply appreciate it and really like the combination of quality work with clever engineering and fabricating solutions.
