I picked it up for a partial trade and cash. Going to convert the red interior to grey and just clean it up a little. I seriously thought I was done with 5.0s but after picking this up I've been looking online and thinking of making a cruiser. Plan was to eventually sell it to fund a blower setup for my fuel injected 70 mustang.

I passed by it all the time and never really looked twice, but after checking it out its a really decent car. I worked on it in the past swapping engines.

That paint looks like it could be saved with a good compounding and polish

A few questions and a cool find. First the find, looking thru the car today and found it had a 140 speedo. Shit I've been looking on here thinking of picking one up. Also has mac shorties, underdrive pulleys and 3.73 gears.
Now the question, I'm looking to paint the trim. So I want to know what to use to clean the trim before paint. Just wash and dry it or use something else?

I'm no paint expert but I'm sure a little sanding of the trim with a higher grit sandpaper would be a step to include

use grease & wax remover to clean any surface thats going to be painted also get some surgical blue tack cloths to remove small particles. these both are available at any auto paint supplier. hint i've had great success restoring trim by painting with plastidip
