[tgvettes]

I really like this project. cool with something different!

Any progress? This one takes me back, my first car was a red 77 hatchback.

We were moving cars around and I thought it was a good time for a couple of photos while it was outside.

I made a little progress on the Mustang II project. I have the gas tank installed





I modified fuel filler tubes from an Eleanor project that we didn't use to fit the II



Epoxy primed







Front sway bar installed



Rear brakes left over from a Wilwood upgrade on another project



Gas cap

I just traded a C6 transmission and converter that was used in my race car (now use a C4 behind the 428 CJ) for this 302 that has very few hours on it to install in my Mustang II

[GPR]

Today the 302 was dropped off at the shop. It was in a Mustang that was upgraded to a 427 small block.





Looks new







I need to order a flex plate for the AOD. I'm also going to replace the water pump, harmonic balancer, fuel pump, intake and valve covers plus the correct oil pan for the Mustang II.

Now I need to get busy installing brake lines and fuel line before I install the engine.

I ordered a Ron Francis wiring harness and after looking at the back of the dash and seeing wires held together with masking tape I decided to remove everything and start over.







I will have to enlarge the openings to fit the new 4" Speedhut speedometer and tach that I ordered





I will also have to modify the dash to fit the 2 1/16" gauges

[Zspoiler]

Do remember the 1978 Mustang Monroe Handler of that era.

[GPR]

Speedhut gauges came in. Each gauge has a bag with wires, sending unit or whatever is needed to hook it up.





I have to modify the back side of the gauge panel.









I used a half round file to enlarge the hole.



I still have to paint the dash trim black
