68 Coupe assembly progress

[Matstng]

I've made progress on the reassembly of my 68 coupe. Got the exterior done, less window trim, and made some good progress today on the interior. I should have it back on the road and ready to take to work next week.

I'm that much closer to working on the CS!!!! Should be moving it into the shop next weekend.

The coupe looks great! I love coupes.

Started working on the heater/AC box and discovered I'm missing more pieces than I thought. Looks like I'm not stickking with original parts on the A/C.

The front seats are in!!!!! I had to take a few laps around the block to remember how fun this car is to drive. It should be ready to take to the office in a day or two, I want to get the door weatherstrip in before I really take it out.
Still need to get the heaterbox in... the heat will work without the A/C evaporator, right?

Heater box is in, I picked up rear seat belts today along with a indicator arm and a few other small things. I'm on the home strech...

This coupe has a vibration issue which I believe I've traced to be missing alignment pins on the 10.50" clutch for the T5. Anyone heard about this?
I plan on addressing this in a week or two.

Brakes are on. Maybe a little overkill but can you ever have too much brake? :grin:

14" vented rotors
Wilwood 6 piston calipers.

Manual set-up. Wilwood 7/8" dual reservior master, still need a prop valve to the rear to dial it in.

I fianlly fixed the ongoing vibration. Turned out I had a missmatched 10-1/2" clutch and 10" flywheel. The clutch needed to be pinned to the flywheel so after spending a few $$$$ on the correct parts and pulling the trans for the third time, the vibration is gone. YEA!
Next is the A/C to tackle. Vintage Air?????

This car is soooo much more fun to drive when it can rev to 6000RPM's.
