        It is decently close to the original color. I like to think of the color as a new modern stock color Ford would have used if a brown tudor was to roll off the lot today. This hot chocolate metallic is purely awesome. And since the car is so dark every piece of shiny trim will make the car come together that much more. I definitely have to bring her to a car show to collect some trophies once she is complete.

            Thanks John.

            Today I installed a front license plate retainer I pulled off of a Mark VI (the one pillaged during SF09). I hacked up my other one some time ago to install a skull frame plate, but I wanted the all around cool factory look...so I went with a nice none hacked up Lincoln one. Turned out the mounts are different down below. One bolt lined up but I had to drill out a hole in the bracket to have the other bolt secure everything. Tomorrow I will install my new door handles as well as just get some things back on the car so it is drivable...like mirrors and key cylinders.

            OH. Bought three cans of profession rustoleum undercoating to paint the wheel wells!

                Thanks.

                Awesome. If anything goes wonky on me while installing things I will get in touch with you. I actually think I already have a door molding as well as some 1/4 panel molding from you that were in better condition than mine were.

                EDIT. Just ordered sway bar bushings (1 1/8") as well as sway bar end links......because speedway drop springs and KYB shocks will be here eventually.


                I also put together the rear license plate bucket. Installed the light holders as well as the clips for the screws for the license plate. Will install that tomorrow because I need to have something blocking the trunk. I wanted to wait for the '79 specific one t come...but it didn't.

                I predict that I will have to polish out the chrome, take rubbing compound to the paint as well as sand blast and paint the screws holding the lens for the lights in the rear license plate bucket.

                                at the videos. And NO badges...absolutely NOT. The closest thing to badges will be the NOS hood ornament, the Ford rear window sticker between the tint and window, the LTD taillights, and the 81 grill I have with the Ford print on the face of it.
