Hopefully it is just something bumped the bulb in the trunk.  First time I ever got pulled over in my car I was 16 and dropping my dad at the airport.  I got pulled over for tail light being out.  I opened the trunk and it was because my dad's suitcase had bumped the bulb in the trunk and I just needed to reseat it.
I am torn about getting an indoor dust only cover for my car.  Maybe I should just get a good cotton sheet.  My car will be in the garage but it gets dusty in there.

I have one sort of drawn out ,probably change as i go . I made one wheel mount ,just needs to be welded together. I tried to get some 1 3/4 mild steel round tubing but looks like they had to order it ,should be here tomorrow sometime . I dont think it will take long to make ,but may be a bit to make both sides the same in the bender .

Thanks Vicfreg.  Yep, keeping the original wiring, but went through every wire, fixed anything bad, and ran a bunch of new ones for the stereo, backup camera, amp, and new instrument panel gauges from NVU.  From what I saw when I took the dash out all the wires are in the harness that sits in the channel above the dash.  Which ones are you referring too?
I'm also putting in a new Old Air Products AC/Heat system so the old AC elbows are not used, but the new AC vents will be put in before dash install.  What is nice about the new AC systems is that it is so much smaller that I can now use the large glove box of a non-AC car.  Once the dash is in I can put in the new IDIDIT tilt column, and finally finish up in the engine compartment.
 

Loaded up a custom tune for the Sniper unit, then went for a drive with the local Mustang Club. 
Did not realize the route was going to take all day, ended up putting 225 miles on the car! 

Nothing wrong with that video Ed. Where did you learn the trick of working from the back side of the polisher motor? That is ingenious. 

Ed. Good video.  I did my quarter window trim about a month ago and it came out great. 
I also polish with the wheel spinning away from me.    Avoids getting impaled by the trim if it catches the buffer wheel…..
 

Love the Crocs. Real Aussie feel to it :)

You have to watch the buffers. Most pros' put painters tape on the trim to stop it being hit. But nowdays the pads are soft foam so unless they are cutting enamel or acrylic back they shouldn't be using a harsh compound.
Good luck with the channel, I subscribed. The comparison to the dull and shiny trim was a bit short so maybe hold it longer in view? I use a cheap video editing program to chop up my very basic videos so that's something you could look into?

See what Vic wrote.  I did not want to get impaled and it actually makes it easier to me to let the wheel pull the piece and me pull back against it instead of a push/push the other way.
I thought the quarter window trim was chrome.  I'll have to pull it out and do it too.  I know the boomerang is chrome and won't be polishing that on the buffer.  I may use a little compound on a rag and polish by hand.
Thanks.  I knocked out the rest of the trim yesterday.  I went back over it several times and got most of the fine swirls out where a DA buffer overlapped the trim in the past.  I'm really impressed with how shiny it is now.

Not a very good video but my first one.  I'll do more with installation of the interior, building the engine, installing glass, etc.

Started polishing my stainless trim. Made a short YouTube video about it. 

My trunk lid is OEM as is the spoiler, both original to the car. Unfortunately, my car is an early 69 build and does not have the oval cutout. I do have a bracket but it is not like that and does not protect the deck from what has transpired in the pictures above. If I recall correctly, the owner that bought the car new had the dealership install all the spoilers and window louvers. Anyway, bought an aftermarket lid tonight that has the correct cut out for that bracket. Keeping my fingers crossed that the aftermarket lid is a good one. 

Do not cut the carpet at the door sills. Give it some time, and let it settle before you trim.

Best way to make the hole in a carpet is with a soldering iron. This makes a nice neat hole for the screws and seat belts. Find a soldering iron (not a gun) as this is a cleaner hole. As for carpet I have used ACC mass backed with good results. Measure well and leave a bit extra for trim, the fits are good.

Many people suggest using soldering irons.
This is NPDs kit. The screws with the cone shaped washers are for the bottom of the door panel where the carpet is. I'm not sure what the pop rivets are for- someone here will know.

ACC Auto Custom Carpet gets the highest marks, mass backed. The Essex cut pile is thick, dense and plush and the top of their line. When last I checked it was 46% cheaper at Rock Auto.
 

This is ridiculous; this morning every section of the forum had a post in Cyrillic!
 

The bottom of your car is so clean!  And those fuel lines look amazing!

Took the door off....
 

Went to see it at the body shop. Time to pick out the paint line and color. Trying to match the original candyapple red. 
 
check my instagram for videos. @red69mustang

Ed, if the fender extensions are not painted yet, test fit and align the repro trims now so you do not mess up the paint later on while aligning/fitting the trim.

You may take a look at the headlight assembly as well.  Some or all of the parts could go on before installing the fender. Brian

I mounted the fenders.
then I mounted the headlamp extensions . My dad help them and I bolted them on after they were assembled 
 
the repo trim is crap, you need to have them off the car to even have a chance of getting them to line up

I assume you have already removed the shifter handle?  

Just noticed that my first post on the this forum was 8 years ago....!  Wow, time moves fast.  Never could have gotten this far without the help of all the great people on this site.  Amazing group of people!
