I may have asked earlier, but please refresh my memory. Will there be any motor mods for this one?

Jeeesh. That last picture makes me think it might be cheaper to buy another Mach 1 and keep this one for "parts" I've thought that several times. Why this car? I can see the work and expense if it holds sentimental value but otherwise it doesn't seem worth it.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

LH side went much nicer. Inside of the frame wasn't rusted like the RH. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/69%20mach%201/IMG_20150604_164322392_HDR_zpsavmps75c.jpg) I'm so excited! Its finally strong enough to mount on a rotisserie!

Looking at all this work makes me wish I had bought that 69 Mach I I had a chance to buy about 6-7 years ago for $13K. Body was pretty straight and no rust in the body and very little in the frame and floors- certainly could have cleaned them up without replacing. Interior needed work and dash was rough, dash pad faded badly and cracked. All original from what I could tell. Mostly the result of the fact we don't use salt on the roads here.
Just wish I had the cash at the moment, but I was tied up with the hot rod I'm just finishing up now so it wasn't in the cards.
Really looking forward to seeing this one finished. These are great cars when they are done right.

Dave, you've built a car skeleton. Now you have something you can connect limbs and organs to.
As a Mustang fan I'm looking forward to your next post.

Being a bodywork man in the land of the perpetually salted roads looks like a demanding profession.

Stop asking! Lol! Or else we'll "build it" as in "its built", and we'll say things like " three quarter cam" and we'll use words like "balanced and blueprinted" And we'll say "MSD" a lot and have no idea what it means... Then we'll have an episode where we will randomly blurt out "double pumpers!" And "three angle valve job!" Then we'll add up the horsepower on a calculator... "Carry the 4 barrel, multiply by long tube headers, 3/4, cubic inches... I'm getting 725 HP, does that sound right?" Lmao!  It will be a healthy and reliable 351W.

Make that a 5 angle valve job and add a h pipe for just a little torque boost.
I just have to say that you have done a whale of a job.
