So many little touches on this car that will make it look great. I'm glad you're showing them since I don't know Mustangs well enough to pick them out on my own.

The owner wanted a spoiler but did not like how tall it was so we lowered the Mustangs to Fear spoiler and end caps about 1". It will be straight with the top of the quarter

I epoxy primed the body



Block sanded and a little more bodywork





One coat of SPI epoxy primer



Two coats of SPI Turbo primer

We took the body off the rotisserie and mounted it on a cart so I could finish the taillight panel and rear valance. I block sanded one more time



Epoxy primed



We want to test fit everything before paint. Starting installing the Rod & Custom suspension

Brian has the sheetmetal lined up.



Test fitting the new Stang-Aholics front valance





The gas filler will have to be moved down a little because the cap hits the deck lid.

Could you cut a little half moon in the lip of the deck lid to go around the gas cap? Kind of like the cut outs over the tail lights?

That is what Brian said but I want to see if we can lower the filler neck first.
