Looks awesome, I personally like the '69 style better, but I love this color blue, and it looks to be in excellent shape. Nice find!

The Zebra will be staying for sure. This is an Arizona car so it has almost zero rust.

Bronco news! I am going to have to check my MLPS sensor and prolly trim it some more. I have trouble sometimes starting the car and I believe its due to the sensor not being in teh sweet spot. I also plan to check all the bracketry and cable.

Mustang news! I am getting ready to sign for the title! *finger crossed* I hope everything goes smooth with the loan.

That is good news on the Mustang, glad you are able to get it. Not so good news on the Zebra. Hopefully you will be able to trim it enough to get it working correctly.

I think I need ti make a support brace for the bracket. I made to hold the cable in place. That should eliminate any play in the cable routing. Then I just need to readjust the sensor.

Now i have something to be jealous of, you with my bronco and me with your mustang Thats a nice looking one my parents had a 68 they were restoring but gave up and sold it cause it was a lot more work than they though. Hopefully you get this shifter bracked and MLPS sensor figured out.

killer Mustang, lucky you..
I want one sooo bad, compared to the Bronco I bet they are easy as heck to maintain or fix up. One of these days I'll have one as a daily driver, swap in a supercharged 302.. can't imagine how fun tuning suspension on one of those would be.

and I hope your MLPS didn't break like mine did.. I kept thinking mine needed adjustments and it was just broken.

Ah just hit it with a hammer, it will be fixed in no time
As for the stangs their fairly easy to work on as far as i know. Kinda like working on an older bronco except shirt guys like us can reach the firewall without a ladder...

The goal was to be able to use a stock pump. Also I've heard that since they redid the tensioner setup in 92 it would have issues with just a shorter belt.
