Topic: 71 Mach 1 restoration almost completed, May?

Yes the rim is exactly like a 71 Boss. Apparently all I need is a ring and a rim. Can you quote me on a price for this or if you want to sell the whole rim, ring hub set please let me know. Thanks!!

Let me work on this !   (I was thinking that I wouldn't want to pay over $100 for a used rim/rare or not)
I know shipping (is what it is) but will be about $40

My big thing is if you just want to borrow (until you can replace to me)  Cause this is going to leave me one short !

We should talk this Sunday if you can

Hi Charlie

Got your voice mail - sorry I was cutting down a tree !  (too late to call back)

I'm torn now -  you seem very nice.  I do appreciate your concern for "braking my set" - BUT I'm still ok with sending you a wheel to use !!  Let's think on this a bit.    (Let me put a little effort into seeing what I have here - date codes and conditions)

Just send your address - I may surprise you !  Is $150 ok delivered?

Mark

Good morning Mark,
Cutting down a tree huh? That's hard work. I am very thankful for your offer. The car will not be ready for several months. I say that because I really am not sure. The guy who is doing the work is moving to a new, larger facility. This has moved out our time frame. This will give us more time to find the "holy grail". I will let you know how the search is going. By the way, your 69 Mustang sports roof, W axle sounds like a very nice, unusual car. Is it an SCJ? I just sold a wim white Mach 1 r code. Great car! Thanks again for your interest and generous offer! 

[svo2scj]

Well if that is the case we will all be looking !  (I figured Ford Carlisle is the best bet)

Yes - non Mach SCJ car. 
Here is before and after  (and Boss)

[ceswert]

What can I say...Beautiful cars, wonderful restorations, congrats! Is your SCJ's interior blue or black? Thanks for the great pictures. I'll stay in touch.

Black standard (where are before and after)


Got an original interior from a guy in Montana that took out of a car in 1970.  Drove out and picked it up - as I didn't want it shipped, damaged or lost.

P.S.  Purchased an NOS headliner but couldn't use it as it was stored in a musty basement.  Just opening up the shipping box funked up my garage in an overnight.  Seller took it back - said he would have used it.  I said "I would too if I wanted my car to smell like it did when I started the restoration!"
