Spray a lot of water on the front windshield and cowl area , make sure these know places do not leak and have a chance to rust out the floor in the future , better check now than cry later , wet carpet will rot faster along with the floors , ask me how I know  :o

congrats Phill

I also have a 77 bobcat. You might be interested how I drew in my bumpers to make a better looking car. The original instructions are here. http://www.fordpinto.com/your-project/simple-fat-bumper-fix/
Good luck with your car.

All three of my 80 Pinto pony's came with the delete panel but with the antenna hole drilled in the fender. Had a plastic cover over the hole.

I like the blacked out look. Looks slick. Did you ever consider painting the wheels black with a red line to go with the color combination of the car?

Went for a drive yesterday about mile into it the brakes locked up again. Took a lot but finally got home. Today check the rear brakes. Rebuilt the drivers side. Then played under hood. Adjustments on carb. Idles better  don't bog down as bad, but still has a "flat " spot about the time it shifts and still will not go over 60 mph. I guess I should take carb apart and check for garbage.

May want to check the rear hose. If it's old it might be collapsing which could lock up the rear brakes.
