'66 Mustang Convertible Update

[andrewmp6]

why not a aod so you can have a overdrive gear. are you gonna use h4 headlights and l.e.d. tailights

[provertstang]

I will go with H4 headlights
Don't really like LED tail lights on classics

I have had a full comp C4 in my last 4 stangs and it works well for my driving . I have no plans of taking long road trips in the car.

Removed the dash pad and cut off all of the pad hardware then welded all holes shut so dash can be smoothed and painted car color.

POR15 sealed the entire cowl area then welded the louvered area shut and smoothed.

Quarters removed and everything sealed with POR15 prior to replacement.
New inner and outer wheel houses spread 3" and welded.

New trunk sides welded in. Fuel cell arrived today so on to mounting it next.












Thank you for the compliments,
Brent

Wow ! Excellent work Brent !! And only in a few days. Is this a home garage type project or do you do this full time ?

Thanks for the update - looking forward to more !

Thanks Jim,

I am the grunt on this project. This metal work is WAY over my head. My good friend Mat Wright at BRC Racecrafts is doing the handy work. He is an incredibly talented person and I am lucky to know him. When the chassis and metal work are complete I will take the car home and prep for paint,wiring, plumbing etc. I hope to have it completely assembled before winter so I can take it back apart and it can go to the painter then I can get to chrome and powdercoat while it is gone. So I guess it is a 1/2 to 1/3 garage build.

Thanks,
Brent
