you guys are clowns. No Ls1, no turbo for this car.If anything maybe a 347 or 408 stroker motor.

since the weather was shitty I did more interior work and rebuilt the fold down rear seat assembly. I stripped off the old nasty faded carpet and polished up the trim.

new carpet from cj pony parts

seatback part all done

![http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4561/img2398b.jpg](http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4561/img2398b.jpg)

stripping the front part was a PITA, the guy at the ford factory in 1967 must have done this after lunch on a Wednesday because it has a ton of glue on it.
