Had a little primer that stuck as always, tedious picking that crap off, but quarter molds are pulled. Should have parts next week. Excited about the zero quarter panel body work, because the molds look so good.

They will look nice once cleaned and buffed. Thanks for jump starting the project Greg

Trying to get exhaust buttoned up before the body work starts. Had to run one side of exhaust high to give myself watts link accessibility. Still have to figure what I'm going to do out the back of the tail pan.

The real issue though is where am I going to cram a rear sway bar. Real estate is at such a premium, I fear its going to end up inside the car.

This is definitely the most sophisticated exhaust I've done. Even more then then building my own mufflers on the Mustang, although it will look pretty Ho-Hum from outside the car. Finally will start on the firewall this weekend.

I know it doesn't seem like much, but the last of the exhaust hangers are made, and the exhaust is totally buttoned up. I need to get motivated on to the firewall..........STAY FOCUSED......FOCUSED

I find I spend half my time designing stuff that is faster, lighter, stronger, safer, etc ...

and the other half of my time making stuff fit!

I feel your pain Ron.

Closing large gaps make Mango happy. The bolt on body might have been a mistake. Way too time consuming, and it adds weight. Too late now, I'll have to finish.
