ZephyrEFI and I went to the "All Ford" bone yard today.....ya outside temps ....about 0-5 degrees F. The wind is what sucked the most....but we walked the whole yard and saw everything. Way easier then in the summer months and the weeds are as tall as you.
I found me a new hood scoop....just like the one I already have but better condition and a coupe of small things, like a trim piece for blanking out the shift indicator on the dash now that I have that on the floor.
Saw some great stuff there !!!

I found out I need to buy just about everything i need new.  If they don't have it no one does.
I still think someone should do the square Granada guages.

Like this lil diddy for $300 bucks. 60,000 actual miles, 100% rust free, like new interior and an un cracked dash! This makes number 9 Futura sitting in the back of the family farm, 2 boxtops and 3 wagons. Along with several four eyed mustangs, an LTD 3 or whatever they were called, a Maverick Grabber and a 1971 F100. This what happens when dealing with tire kickers, one guy (ME) ends up with them all!!

I use to average 27mpg with my 200/c4/3.08rear combo. Average. If it were purley 55-60mph highway, i could get it to around 31. City was more like 22.
