Thought I'd share
The D from the Rouge bridge
Early in the show. Maybe 40 cars
Cobra swapped. IRS, Cobra front end, blown Cobra mill
Pete's badass whip
Savage's Crown Vic
Larry got rear ended by some dumbass in the lot. Bent tail pipe and a paint chip but this car is concourse quality.
Charlie H's new 429 71 build by GlennZ
Chad's 735HP thumper
The Smurf took third in the 70-71 class. It was up against some stellar contenders.
Pretty Jazzed about it. M was too.

Decided to switch to a 1969 dash so it could be modernized a bit. We stripped off the old weatherend woodgrain, cleaned/polished everything up and added a carbon fiber accent to the dash. Came out better than I was expecting - not too over the top.
Instruement cluster design is basically complete - we ordered all the necessary parts and electrical pieces and are now ready to build everything up. This sure takes a lot more time than a person would think. Things like MIL lights, signal lights, backlighting should all make the cluster look like one from a brand new car when done. For the MIL lights, we found a harness than can be put in place of a std T5 dash bulb. By using another remote socket, we can put the light wherever we want.. in this case on the outer gauges. To mount everything, we are going to take 2 original clusters and merge them to get a setup with 4 gauges (originals had 3, and a 4th was screwed into the dash).
Heater controls are also a PITA - trying to convert linear motion to rotary motion so the original dash controls can operate the rotary dials from a new Mustang when done. Have ell the ratios figured out, ordered the parts and should have this done soon. With some rewiring, the original switch can be used to control the modern setup.

Sure is a nice tool to have around the garage! Unfortunately got carried away and forgot to drain the oil out of the diff. Now the garage has a wonderful 80/90 aroma.
Moved on to getting the brakes in order. After searching far and wide for Torino brake line kits with ABS, we just ended up bending our own. Got the Wilwood proportioning valve in place, and also bent and flared up both front lines. Started routing the rear lines. We bent all of the lines up with 3/16 aliminum tube first which was 10x easier. Kinda looks like it was supposed to be there. Also got in the adapters to convert the hydroboost to AN style fittings.

The silver 70 Torino GT - no grill badge?
Shouldn't 70 have a round one and 71 a rectangle between the grill halves?
Nice pics Phil - congrats on the trophy!
