Nice! There are very few of these in nice shape out there. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Today we lined up the rear hatch and bumper

Test fitting the Corbeau seats.



The seats are hitting the door bar and the brackets don't line up with the holes in the floor. We need to drill new holes 1 1/2" toward the transmission tunnel in the seat brackets.



It's a tight fit but with the new holes in the brackets they fit.





We were going to use this Flaming River steering wheel in a 1967 Fairlane race car with a quick release Flaming River column but it was to close to the dash board. A couple of years ago Brian gave me a Momo steering wheel for my 1968 restomod Coupe for Christmas and the adapter would not work with the Ididit steering column. They both work great on the Mustang II steering column and I had some left over Dynamat from the 1968 Coupe.

Brian finished buffing and we installed the drivers door getting ready to install the right door today.

Guys that is a neat car. Good to see someone build something different.

Brian finished buffing the fenders and hood and has them on the car. Waiting to finish the grille panel and front bumper.

Not sure what I did wrong yesterday but here are the photos
