Default Fixing Dent and removing luggage rack

Just like it says, here are some pics of the dents removed and the luggage rack. He still has to add in a small circle weld where the light was but will have it done tomorrow and prep for primer and paint. I am also getting the top put on this Friday. I can't wait to get it back.


Pics of the back:

How are the 40 Series FM's with the convertible? With the extra road noise, in addition to the top being down occasionally, I'm wondering if they get irritating on a long ride. Myself? I love it. I used to have an off road H-pipe w/ cherry bomb Thrush mufflers on my 86 Capri. It resembled a bike sometimes when you were decelerating and the back pressure caused a slight rumble.

They are a bit on the loud side. I don't do long rides so I shouldn't have a problem until I have to move. Being military I will have to move sometime but I will have to just deal with it. I love the sound.

I noticed your sig says 7UP, what is that exactly? I've heard of them but how do you know if yours is and what is different from your stang vs like mine for example?

in 1990 ford painted a bunch of LX convertibles emerald green with white interiors, a rear spoiler, turbines and body matched the trim. it was gonna be a promotion with 7up that if someone could score a basket from half court during some random NBA games the winner would get one of the cars...

the promotion went belly up post haste, and ford had these green convertibles and just sold them like a normal car.

I just decided to put it a stock 302 with the forge piston and roller rockers. Didn't want to go nuts on my budget.
