Hey guys, glad you all like the work so far on the Mustang. Doing a few projects at the same time is alot of work. I had to run the NOMARO to the painter in AZ this weekend and pick up one of the cars.

On the Mustang I wanted to remove the louvers on the side of the fastback and install a side glass. I tried to use the aftermarket kit but didn't like the fit or look. So I decided to use a late model Mustang quarter glass. Here is the cut out area that we will install the glass into.


As you can see the quarter needed to be cut to get the right angle for the glass to lay right.



Here is the piece that was made to go around the late model quarter glass.


Here is the new glass setting in the quarter.


All welded up and ready to prime again.


Another project getting closer.
Goodguy Ed

Ron, glad you like the project. I did a mixture of RideTech, Chris Alston and Global West suspension on this, it is turning out really nice. I will update with more pictures soon.

Nice work Ed! Cant wait to see it up close... I wish I had dome my mods in metal... definitly more solid of a foundation, and probably would have been less time involved than trying to straighten and shape all that fiberglass. ( trunk, Qtr extensions,bumpers, vallance, and hood)

Hope to see you at Goodguys Nashville!

KT.

KT, I will be at Nashville all week. Find me when your out there.
The fiberglass items appeared to be more work than just doing it out of metal, and now I know what is there so it won't be moving around when you go to install it after paint.

See you next week.

Another really cool project.

I am guessing by the title it's going to be Silver.
