How did you bond the headlight bucket and rear valance?

The headlight buckets were bolted and also bonded with Nortons panel adhesive as were the end caps. The rear valance was welded.

I have been going back and forth on the front and have changed my mind again and have decided to use this one from an Eleanor kit



I wanted a cleaner look so I'm doing away with the the fog lights.

It's the new year I'm tried of not having a Mustang that I can drive so it is time to get this car running. I have gone round and round on engines and I do like FE's but I want something that I can drive and not have to stop for gas all the time. I have a 88 Mark VII that I bought new and was wrecked and has been sitting for over 3 years so we have decided to use the engine and trans in the Mustang. It needs a little cleaning.

As you can see in this photo the bottom of the deck lid sticks out past the quarter and on the bottom it doesn't line up with the taillight panel



I added material to the back and sanded the front

I spent today block sanding the deck lid trying to get it to match the quarter. I will be painting it SPI red the same as my Fairlane. What can I say I like red.
