1) Thanks! I'll look for that bolt.
2) Yep, that's me too over there on CCDC. 3) Hi Greg! 4) Sorry to be short, on my way out the door, but here is a post of the car as it appeared returning from the paint shop this past spring. All the interior stuff has been restored & made ready and I have just about everything I need in the way of the police accessories. All exterior trim has been restored too. Currently, the entire front suspension is out of it for restoration, as well as all the front engine drive accessories and their attendant brackets, hoses & hardware for same. I have ALL of the suspension stuff done, but will not be re-installing it until I finish my detail of the lower half (Wheel wells, underside of motor & Trans) of the car. It's been a long hot summer and I have also been working on two other project cars simultaneously but this one is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the support and I will post newer and more extensive pics on Monday. Have a good weekend guys.

Meantime, I know I've been absent since my last post (I DID get that pesky bracket removed) but I finally got the engine bay torn down so all that is left is the block and the one big wire harness that comes from the dashboard through the firewall. I've been busying myself refurbishing each separate component to almost new condition. And I mean each and every nut, bolt, wire, wire harness, vacuum lines, hoses, EVERYTHING. I'll include one before & after pic so you can see and judge for yourself. I have removed the front fascia too. To aid in resto of all the components hung on both sides of the rad spt. It also gave me a clear shot at my buck tags to get clean pics. So attached will be pics of my buck tags and some other kind of crude, big assy line tag made out of the top of a quart can lid. The other two is a before and after of one of the a-arm & spindle assembly's so you can get a hint of how I spend my evenings and weekends.

Also, has anyone else ever removed a thermacter air pump which was perfectly free in movement and then have it freeze up on the shelf?
The one on my 78 LTD 460 PI did it but I assumed it was because it sat on a shelf (indoors) for almost ten years. I removed this one to restore it barely 5-8 weeks ago and it has also frozen up. Perplexing. I mean, it sits on the car (Mustang) in the yard for almost seven years, going very long periods between starts of the engine and it never froze up under THOSE conditions. I take it, clean it and restore it & box it up on the shelf and it seems it is froze solid in less than two months. Go figure. I suppose I will have to disassemble it now and free it up. That's what I had to do on the LTD.
