A few pics of the progress fitting the front end together. :hairpullout:
It is getting closer, the hood actually opens and closes!!

Trying to find stuff to do while the crate is at the body shop.
Made brake lines for the rear end

Looks really nice and now I am going to pull my rear end.

I just went back to see what I missed. The engine looks sweet! and nice numbers. It's looking good Steve.

Carbon body panels are always a hassle to fit but are so worth it once they are!

Any new news on this awesome build!!?

Well I suppose I'm due for an update :buttkick: Just about the time I made my last post the metal work was pretty well done on the car but I was waiting for the flush mount glass from Fesler to be available. I decided to take the car back to my shop and work on getting everything done that I could while we waited.
I built the exhaust

I took some clamps and drilled 4 holes in them to allow us to tack the pipe up once we were satisfied with the fit

The only dual black set of tips I could find was this Corsa set for a late model Mustang. They're made staggered but we just had to cut a few stitch welds, cut the pipe off about a 1/2" and slide the tip back

Taylor cut these on the waterjet to hang the tailpipes.

I also got all of the brake lines and fuel line fabricated and mounted. Taylor cut these to mount them.

I got all of the suspension installed and got it back on the ground for the first time in a while (too long).

The rear window not so much, but only by the quarters and after replacing and stretching them that wasn't too surprising

Looking great. I like the exhaust clamp for tacking idea. Might have to steal that one.

Looks mean sitting on the ground, Steve. Congrats on making that milestone.

Awesome as usual.

PM me regarding the back glass, i've got some suggestions if you do not want to go back to metal work. I did my own flush mount kit and have some data on the rear.

Can't wait to see it done.
