- - 1965 Fastback with DSE (https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=39333)

We had a problem with the original fiberglass hood and front valance so we ordered replacements from NPD. The hood required a little work but the front valance fit great and it was a Dynacorn part.

The hood had a low spot in the back and the front corners needed a little fiberglass added to match our front fenders

Our new employee Marco is almost finished with the hood

Brian was shocked that an aftermarket part fit and doesn't need to be modified and top it off it is fiberglass!!!

curious as to the amount of hours it takes to install the quadlink, subframes and tubs?

thanks!

Not sure how I missed this thread. Great work Rusty and Brian!

The back of the hood and deck lid was painted Wimbledon white

Installing the suspension and brakes and will fit the sheetmetal so when the tires come in we can make sure they fit before painting.

Rusty, where did you get those shock tower panels? Or did you made them.

I have installed the same stuff to '69 fastback, exept I did long route with mini tubs. Did 3" wide but I moved rear rails complete 3" in. Add 2" strip to trunk floor both sides.

What engine are you using? We have a 5.4 SC Modular and that is tight fit. No room for headers. 1" from dse upper coil over mount.

I will start buildthread one day when customer says go. Still under radar..

Very nice work! :thumbsup:

That's a bummer we most likely won't get to see it finished. You guys are doing such great work on the car. It looks fantastic.

Looking really good rusty

WOW. Great workmanship !!! I wish your shop was local to me. :thumbsup:

That's my favorite color combinitaion on an early Mustang. Nice job.

Very nice Rusty. Excellent work..

Beautiful car.......awesome work!

I love that color combination, and the wheel color kicks it up another notch.

That's it I can't look at this car any longer. Now I want one of these !!!!

:thankyou: for sharing these pics the car looks really nice.

Man Rusty, that is beautiful! Its turning out so good!

I love this car! Great job.

classic color combination

With the frame rail replacement you used two piece not one? Would it have been better to make out of one? I ask because I'm in a similar situation with my fastback, I have a DSE Aluma-frame also. Any suggestions?

Thanks
