I have bunch of parts waiting to go into the Coupe when it gets a tad bit warmer I will continue progress on that car also. I have my hands full this year forsure.

Those definitely belong in there! I like white cars with black interiors.

OK great, thats what I wanted to hear.

Hey Joe, I don't know how you can concentrate on just one car when you have three others....The Cobra looks to be in really good condition. I have a hard enough time deciding on what to do with my 82 GT. Recaros will look AWSOME in their. and a nice 5 liter EFI motor too.

I don't know either Joe,aleast my 84Gt is done and my 82 just needs a couple small changes to be done. So for now I will alternate between working on the Cobra and Coupe. Recaros and EFI is in the plans

Had off today so I made some more progress on the car,


I hope to have the interior done first as I'm tired of looking at all the black interior panels all over my house. I pulled the sunroof out today for the first time and I was surprised at how clean it was under there,so far things are moving along well.

Nice work partner. It's gonna look GREAT with a black interior.

[tORMENtOR]

Had sometime to work on the car today so I cleaned and painted all around the inside of the sunroof,then started installing the Black hatch panels & black seatbelts. Carpet and headliner should arrive sometime this week.
Qiuck pic of some nice black panels.

[escogt]

I too got some things accomplished this weekend.

Well, spill the beans bro. What did you get done?
I too got something I wanted for some time now. Picked them up today... near Philly.

[K PONY]

Looking good Joe.. today was a very nice day to here in southern Ontario but snow coming tomorrow and looks like most of the up coming week... those quarter trim panel original black pieces or did you have to dye them black?

Thanks Marshall,when will this snow just go away huh? They are OEM 83 Black 1/4 panels but were alittle faded so I ended up respraying them with some SEM Semi Gloss Black interior paint. Thoose panels are so hard to find in black. I've been collecting 79-83 Black interior parts for the past 3+ years with hopes of doing a interior conversion one day. My basement will be empty when this car is done

Man, that is looking slick!!! She's going to be a pavement pounder in no time.

[tORMENtOR]

Man it felt like Spring this weekend here in NY,I got alittle bit of work done on the Cobra,not much as my Coupe was getting jealous and my 82GT wanted some attention too
Here is a pic of some of the interior progress


I need to pick the lock on the glovebox door as its locked and I don't have the key During the week I might put the door panels on and maybe my seats will go in. I might even vac the carpet

[tORMENtOR]

Does anybody sell the Chrome heater control,knobs? Mine have seen better days.

[Hissing Cobra]

That's a tough one on the chrome heater control knobs. I know that a lot of other Fords used the same ones, so if you know of any junkyards that have old '80's era Fords like Escorts, Lincoln town cars, Rangers, etc.... you may be able to source those from one of those cars. I love the Black interior.

Thanks for the tip,I will be going to a yard nextweek so I will keep my eyes peeled for them.

So, what seats did you decide on? Where did you get the carpet from? Looks real good.

The seats are a suprise. The carpet is ACC,the fit is ok.

Damn Joe, that looks awesome! You are going to have it done in no time at this rate.
