You just unlocked a core memory for me!
I had forgotten about those from my childhood until this very moment.
Solid black 1978 Ford, hole in the floor boards, no A/C....Accordion rubber boot around the shifter.
They have the 2 door more dressed up in the photos. It has a surf board, the roof racks, lights on the mirrors, fog lights, top off, tube doors, etc. The four door photo has none of that.
Detail your bed lining process? Was it just spray on? Did you take them and have them done? I have been kicking around doing the flares and grille on my SAS.
Honestly I would recommend just enjoying it for a while. Drive it, take the tops off, hit some trails, etc. Then see what you feel is missing or that you feel you need for you to enjoy your experience more.
Do you like cruising with the tops off enough to justify a lift? Too soon to tell
Do...
