    Interior Changes '86 Notch

    I replaced my cluster, which became quite the job when I had to re-pin the connectors. I also changed the steering wheel and since I have the GT bumper, I added a new headlight switch with fog lights. Everything works!! I surprise myself sometimes.

    Found '86 Coupe

    After a month of misery since wrecking my '86 GT, I finally found another one. It's an '86 coupe with full 89-90 5.0 driveline including dash and other interior parts. The guy got tired of it. I guess he had a problem with the body guy doing work on it. Anyway, I'm happy. Now I can start to...

    How embarrassing is this???

    I've been cruising along with my H/C/I swap. I put my heads on yesterday. Today I threw in the lifters, pushrods and finished up with the roller rockers. I proudly take a few pics of my work. Then it finally hits me like a ton of bricks. The heads are on backwards!! :bang:
