The major body work is finished on the body. I still have to block it out and work on the gaps.

It has been awhile since I worked on my car so this weekend we took out the 63 Galaxie 9" and narrowed it 2" so it would be the same width as a Mustang.

After it was narrowed

At this time Red but it will be awhile before it is painted and I may change my mind but my favorite color is red.

How did you bond the headlight bucket and rear valance?

The headlight buckets were bolted and also bonded with Nortons panel adhesive as were the end caps. The rear valance was welded.

I have been going back and forth on the front and have changed my mind again and have decided to use this one from an Eleanor kit

I wanted a cleaner look so I'm doing away with the the fog lights.

Will the panel adhesive keep the seam from cracking? I am doing a 65 coupe right now and the person I bought the shell from bondo'ed the end caps to the quarters and I havent even started the real body work and the seams are already cracking from their past work. So will that adhesive help that if i take them off and redo them?
