Default 74 Formula 455 Project Begins

Quick update. Got the interior cleaned really well - decided to keep the carpet that came with the car - after a good cleaning, most of the bad spots were where you are not going to be able to see them anyway and it was still in good shape. I just couldn't ever match that color buying new. I pulled the front and back seats and all are now as clean as I can get them without using something too harsh that could ruin or fade the original fabric. Got some big stains in the back seat...spilled beer...extracurricular activities...? Here is the interior with the new console (formerly red - now SEM's Dark Saddle) sitting in my office waiting to go back into the car.



I should receive the two new speakers tomorrow, and the two NOS AC Guide Power Beam 5001 headlamps should arrive on next Monday.

MPR and I plan to do full interior reassembly this Saturday. All that remains after that is to get the headlamps installed, and take to the AC shop for a quick testing of the AC system and a recharge for the trip to the TA Nats. I'm leaving on the 24th (week from this Thursday).

PIcked this up today to haul it in.





8.5' by 24' with tandem 7000# axles. Pulls great! Picked it up down in Douglas, GA
