Update
Got new starter, should be running Wensday, video of epic moment. First time it will run on its own since buying the car haha. Once we do this we will have over come one of the biggest problems of the car and then it will be time to see what we have."If you analyse the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious." - Prof F.A.

Nice project. I noticed the classic Grant wheel. Seems like almost every car from the 80's had that exact steering wheel. I remember buying one of those for my first Mustang .... ah good times...

Ah yes, Wink mirrors. Funky looking with 6 or 7 small mirrors all mounted at an angle. They actually worked pretty good, if your car had decent visibility around the C pillars. Mine was mounted in my 67 Mustang fastback, which of course, has VERY large C pillars, thus rendering this mirror almost worthless over a stocker.
