Thanks Guys, I plan on painting the bumpers . Since the car is going to be black it will probably be body color. Decisions Decisions..

Moving right along,John. Looking good. What are you planning on doing with chrome trim around the windows? What wheels you're going with?

I plan on using the Mustang bullet wheels, They will be painted to match the black on the car. I want to shave the drip rails and either elin iliminate the window moldings and relace with black rubber or anodize or paint the original moldings black.

Installed the full 3 in TTI exhaust with dynomax turbo mufflers, With the drive line angle at 1deg I have a issue with the headpipes hitting the floorboard. Some minor tweeking will be needed. The area above the mufflers will need to be raised 1 inch for clearance. The tailpipes will also need some tweeking. Since this is a tuned system , I will modify the body before modifying any pipes.

I am using Shark Gauges (Dolphin Gauge Co) for the cuda. These are comparable to Autometer phantom Gauges without the price. The Speedometer is Electronic, and should work with my output on my T56 Mag. I couldnt find a dash cluster to my liking so I made my own from some 20 gauge here. I made sure I sunk the gauges back 1/2 from the surface ( I personally dont like the look when the gauges are mounted above the dash cluster). I plan on covering it in black leather or painting black wrinkle.There is some finishing, ect ect. I will have to mount indicator light and switch holes but this is as far as I got.

With my shop being really busy the last few months I only have been able to do some planing and purchasing of parts for the car.I installed alll of the front sheet metal . As usual the factory sheetmetal is way off. I plan on shaving the front bumper and incorperating it into the fenders. These are some recent photos. Thanks everyone

Some work on the console. I made it from some 18 ga Aluminum I had here at the shop. I sunk the shifter into the console and added cup holders. I plan on having this covered along with the dash cluster in black leather.

I was tired of that god aweful gap around the rear license plate ,so I tighten up the gap and the license plate slides so I can access the fuel filler. I wasnt able to use the original plate light so I made a slimmer one from Aluminum with LED lights.
