I put the carpet on the interior wheel wells. And then I cut the interior rear quarter panels to allow for the tubbed rear end. Took my time and this is what I came up with. Note how I cut it forward and then back at the mounting place for the rear seat. BTW, these panels are not bolted in yet. And I am not pleased with the glossy paint I used on the interior panels. I am still searching for the correct light reflectivity!

Bad picture, but I mounted the FE motor mounts. Not sure if it is correct because the motor mounts did not bolt in without a lot of adjustments. The frame holes did not align. I had to grind down the outer side of the mounts, probably because I welded in the lower shock tower bracing. And they only came with 4 bolts! I will put in the additional 2 bolts.

I Mounted the shock tower to cowl braces.

Played a little with the back seats. I am going to have the upper seat reduced by 2" in width. I could probably get away with not doing anything, but I am going to have the seats re-upholstered with the same pattern as the Shelby seats (not the logo).

Getting the car ready to go to the body shop. All the last little things that take a lot of time!

Like the factory splash shield for the new relay cluster underneath the passenger side front fender.

And the oil cooler lines from underneath the the driver side fender

The fuel pressure & return line bracket

The rear seat belt brackets welded in

and the front end strut rod washers that started to rust that needed paint

Well, I finished up the oil cooler lines

Got the fittings and bracket for the fuel system installed

And got the security system installed (what no picture?) Trick baby, trick!!!

I have been debating as to where to pull in the fresh air for the Supercharger. UP pulls it from the driver side, but I have tried to make room to pull it from the passenger side. Look at all that room!

This is kind of what color I am thinking about going with. Black with a dark charcoal center stripe and a slight gold tint in the pin stripe. What do you guys think?

Got the 11" rears and 8" fronts mounted.

Well, I'm back after several months at work. I brought all the glass out of the garage, washed it down, cleaned it real good to see If I am going to be able to use it. It is all Carlite - Sun X tint, looks to be original with date code and line going down the back glass. Not that it really matters to me.

The back glass is in excellent shape. The drivers door has a few small scratches, not deep, but I bet it will be more visible at night in the lights. I am still debating whether or not to replace the door glass, but I bet I will not be able to get the same tint!

I have all the triangle rubber pieces and channel felt for the vent wings. New latch handles, also.
