I concur with WI resident above. Winter sucks and working with door shut gets really dusty and cloudy in garage.

Anycase, got the quarter rough hung. Still need to do some tweaking of underlying panels so that outer wheel well will sit properly and minor trim work.

Then once cold front clears, it'll be time to do some bonding. I'm going with the Evercoat as discussed earlier which is a one part not requiring the special 3M style gun I've used in past. It could be interesting as this car needs so much help.

Default I gave her a bath after 23 years of hybernation

Jacked her up, got off those tires and pressure washed her until she said enough! She's clean, solid and ready to come apart for her restoration. See my photobucket.

Here's some outside shots. It's a little overcast today, so there's not much sunlight to work with.




You can find more pics and the rest of my painting experience here:

Thought about modifying my front end a bit.

For starters, trim the grill so it's kind of like the new Shelby, all open center. Not sure about it yet... we'll see.

The other thing I was planning out was what I'm going to do with that vertical piece of metal that hold the hood latch and connects all the valance and little things together. I no longer have the hood latch, since I have pins, so I was trying to devise a plan to get rid of some of that clutter...

Stayed off the gas on my way to work today, so I could hear the Inauguration Ceremony on the stereo...

Put a coat of Epoxy Primer on the engine compartment. On Wednesday morning, it will get some 2k primer, color, and a couple of coats of clear.

Scott, I'm liking that color more everytime I see it. You going to put any stripes on it, or you staying solid color.

Beautiful day in Alabama, so I washed and waxed the mustang. Had been waiting to try the Jax wax I bought a couple of months ago. Then went out for a cruise. Hard to beat 70 degree weather in mid-January.

Installed my new Speedhut gauges into the mount and bezel and started wiring them into the harness connections.

Installed roof rail weatherstrip, installed new mounting points for 3 point seat belts, and checked the alignment of my engine block to my T56 bellhousing - looks like I'll be needing some offset dowel pins.

I pulled the motor out tonight, and tore it down. I hated to do it, but it must be done.

I bought a Mach I hood scoop from ebay. Will wait to the spring to have it painted with the hood.
