Thanks for the welcome Barb, Hardhat..
Bob,
I found this car on Craigslist just outside of Atlanta and took a leap of faith and pulled a trailer down there with my son-in-law and was prepared to look or buy. It was an older 70's build and was still pretty solid. Needs a bit of TLC to freshen it up. The dashboard was a fabricated one and looked old school, but when I saw what it replaced I just had to convert it back. I found another guy selling a rotten coupe with quite a few usable parts and we struck up a deal. He delivered right to my door from St.Louis.
I got all the side beltline brightware, dash, fenders (don't need) both doors (don't need) hood and trunk lid which are mint. I'm putting those back on with all the brightware. Both front and rear bumpers. No taillights (darnit). 41 taillights are very rare and sought after by more than Stude fans. I'm going to repaint the car a pearl yellow when all said and done. I hope to get it back on the road before June and make the Good Guys show at the Titans Stadium this year.
I used to be into Mustangs (owned quite a few over the years), but when I saw this car I had to have it. I love the body style. I recently took the vintage gauge cluster and put VDO gauges in it and it's looks factory. Fabbed all the plates and it turned out great. Vintage look but now worked with modern sending units. I got a ton of ideas in my head giving me a headache.
No there are not many 41's on the forums because I've searched for them for ideas.. I'm sure you guys and girls will help me out when I need it and I'll offer my two cents as well. Thanks for the welcome.
