Mustangs To Fear sheet metal is almost done - cowl panels, heater box, inner fender replacements.

Smoothing the entire firewall - opening up the radiator support to fit the new radiator. Figuring out what holes stay and what ones go. Need to run the gas, brakes, engine wires, light wires, steering, and ignition wires. The rest get closed up.











Went down to check on the car today




- the guy working on mine has been out sick the last week - no progress.

- dropped off some more parts

- talked to the owner

- most of the body work is done

- he's going to put the car on the rotisserie soon and then get a bunch of suspension, brackets, engine, and other parts together to drop off at the powder coaters, also getting the headers and extensions to X-pipe ceramic coated, most likely the oil pan and intake too

- the Canton pan's coating eroded away and the intake manifold was powder coated - but some spilled gas ruined the coating.

- found a local place that can do all of the coating, took a long time to find someone other than JetHot to do it, I just don't want to ship it all out




Having a Fab guy come by the house in a little while to talk about building a new convertible support plate - making it drop instead of being flat to clear the exhaust.
