    If I remember correctly it's either 353 or 535? My friend showed me the stickers which he hasn't installed and reflects the engine size but I honestly can't remember what the numbers were :sorry: I honestly don't know :confused:

    Amazing work! Those 50/50s are fantastic!

    On the topic of cleaning those pads, did you use a duo spur to clean them out then let them soak in some pad cleaner?

    I think you're referring to the displacement since it is a rather plane jane '70 Mach1. It is a 4v 351 Windsor or Cleveland, for the 351 Windsor the hp output for the 2V (2 barrel ) was 250 and for the 4V (4 barrel carb.) was 290. For the Cleveland the 2V was 250 hp and for the 4V was 300. You can tell what motor was supposed to be in the car by the fifth digit in the VIN. I am not up on my motor codes for 1970 but i do know my motor codes for 1964.5 to 1966 mustangs.;)

    Glad you enjoyed it :peace:

    I agree, lovely vehicle to detail. As for the software, I purchased the software directly from defelsko.com. The software helps to store the paint gauge readings and also plot the graphs.

    :nod: the new floor has great benefits, from clean up to lighting, the garage is brighter and I enjoy that. Glad you enjoyed the detail :peace:

    Thank you for the kind words :hippie:

    Lovely vehicle, not meant for me but never the less couldn't help but admire the vehicle :thumb:

    Thank you my Norwegian brother :peace:

    Thank you :peace:

    Well to be hones I only had to clean one or two foam pads, the other pads I just threw them away...they were done anyways and I did that on purpose, I mean used the worst pads on purpose. But yes, I let the foam pads soak in a bucket with pad cleaner for a day or two and then washed them by hand, pad is still a little stained but it will live to fight again :thumb:

    :nod: owner is very happy and hopefully I'll detail more of his vehicles :woo:

    Thank you for the feed back, very much appreciated :peace:

    Why yes I do. Keep in mind these are some very old pics and when the pics were taken I didn't know a green pad from a LSP

    my fav pic of both cars. The VW is long gone I have moved on to faster pastures for daily drivers. In fact my current DD is over 3 times the displacement almost 3 times the power AWD and I can tow 6600 lbs with it.
