Is there a such thing as finding "a good Ford"?

Just kidding!! I love Fastbacks and that may have been part of this issue is finding a Fastback as they are hard enough to find in itself, yet alone a good one. Keep updating this build.

Yea the Fords are usually better than good, especially sportsroofs

Rusty do you have any details to share on what the build will entail? Suspension? Brakes? Drivetrain? What's it going to be?

We have not had the time to work on this yet but have an issue with the door gaps. This is what we found so far:

The hood bumper brackets are not straight

Dynacorn does not spot weld the quarters they are plug welded and than they ground the welds to much.

The door and trunk bolts are metric

We thought at first they had metric threads but they are the same as all Mustangs so I changed them. Notice there is no ecoat under the fender brace. We will be sanding the complete body and spraying 2 coats of SPI epoxy.

The owner sanded and I epoxy primed the narrowed Fab 9 rear end that came with the car
