The fenders have been sprayed white epoxy almost ready for SPI orange paint then I decided to fill in the marker lights

Ready for more primer. The wheels are off of Brian's 94 but the offset is wrong and the front cap won't go over the spindle

I sprayed two coats of SPI epoxy primer on the body and roll bar

I finished the bodywork and sprayed a coat of epoxy to seal it before spraying urethane primer

The body has been block sanded and I sprayed a couple more coats of SPI Turbo urethane primer.

my parents had a Mustang II Cobra when I was kid.. I'll be following along on this build..

I decided it was time to upgrade the engine compartment

Two coats of SPI black epoxy

The spring perches on the 1965 rear end are 1/4" to wide on each side so we added metal to the bottom of the perch with an offset hole.

New rear shackles and test fitting the rear after the leaf springs were sanded and epoxy primed.

It is hard to believe but new motor mounts for a V8 are not available so we made our own. We had a set Rod & Custom small block motor mounts that we did not use on another project. They were cut down and welded to the frame

We will add another brace after the firewall is modified for the AOD and we install the engine and trans again

I like these cars. Some call them the low spot in the life of Mustang. I think when built right they are cool.

I ordered a spoiler from Mustangs Unlimited but after test fitting I realized I never did like how the spoiler is on the quarter panel and how tall it was.

I cut it down and added a little fiberglass

We had to do a little rust repair to the hatch and bodywork and I painted the back side SPI Orange. The spoiler was bolted and fiberglass mat was added and needed bodywork before the back was painted.

The AOD is a tight fit so to make it easier to install we modified the trans tunnel

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psnq3wvprl.jpg

Also decided to fill some of the holes in the firewall

I also didn't like all the holes in the fender aprons

Crossmember was also modified for more clearance

We made our own trans crossmember using some of the original and a thick piece of metal
