The car should've never been saved, but my father gave it to me 32 years ago and it's all I have left of him.

Keep it up. Your work is an inspiration when I desperately need it.

I have flush mount glass kits coming out for these 64-68 Mustang's, and when working with the cars, I like the 65-66 much better than the 67-68. I am not sure why the later brings more money, it has some odd lines and proportions.

We have a new rear panel so Brian removed the old one. This will save a lot of time.

After the panel was removed he had to make a patch for the front trunk floor

Fitting the trunk floor and gas tank

Next step was to test fit the quarters, taillight panel and deck lid. Once everything is lined up the trunk floor will be drilled and plug welded.

Now that the rear panels fit it is time to prep the frame rails. As Brian was cleaning the front trunk floor he found a few rust pin holes. He cut out the bad area and made three patches one at a time to keep it from warping the edge that hangs down.

Brian ground all the welds on the patch than brushed a heavy coat of epoxy in the frame rails
