Thanks for posting, Larry : D

I somewhat 'corrected' the instrument panel with period Falcon knobs, headlight switch, etc. I had the alternator light bezel, and washer switch bezel machined from brass, then chrome plated. After ditching the OE SPF Lucas-style switches, I reshuffled the gauges to the correct stack, added a proper ignition switch in the right location and rewired the turn indicator lamps and correct high beam lamp.

Speaking of wiring, a huge thanks to Blas Costagli. His schematic and factory insight on certain areas were a HUGE help. I wouldn't waste time working on any SPF electrical system without one of his masters.

Next pics are the install of Lucas washer jets and period pump..good for blasting off the oversize Arizona bugs.

Next pics are of 2 different types of motor mounts that can be used. First pic is the OE-type HiPo mounts and bracket from Cobra Restorers. Next pic is the SPF saddle and Mustang mount. These are about 3/8" taller than the HiPo type mount. I ran with the OE type mounts, which helped me later with air cleaner hood clearance.

Ross Henry was instrumental in getting Spax to do a run of 28-way adjustable shocks for these cars. Great upgrade from the previous supplied shock, and Koni orange to boot.

I wanted to switch the gas cap assembly over to the OE cap, but didn't want to give up the internal locking cap feature that came with the SPF cap. Nick Acton graciously machined up the nice aluminum neck for the Ceandress cap, and we welded in a small ring for the SPF locking cap to engage and seal.
