Silver_69_Coupe 31 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 I sandblasted the whole thing. Then coated it all with Epoxy. There were only 5 spots and they were very minor. Both Lower Quarters on the back I will replace the metal here Floor pan under pedals. (About 2" x 2") Sandblasted and treated with SEM. Filled 3 tiny pin holes with JB Weld Bottom front of the doors. Sandblasted and will replace the metal Top of gas tank. Someone had a piece of carpet on it and it was rusted to the tank. Sandblasted and SEM on this also. Small Hole about the size of a pencil in the rear window. Removed metal and welded a washer in its place. Then filled the center of the washer with a weld. The Doors an quarters will be done after the mock up and test drive period. I haven't decided on replacing both rear quarters or using lower quarter patches.

Silver_69_Coupe 31 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 96 Mustang. If you get some and need some help with how to make them fit let me know. You have to align them just right or they will not retract Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver_69_Coupe 31 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 Engine compartment getting there... I replaced the inner fenders and radiator support. Converted the clutch over to hydraulic. Got all of the brake lines routed (Mocked up) Ready for final primer then final blocking on the engine compartment today after I finish building the re-enforcement plate for the Clutch and Brakes. Here are a few pics I will post more today or tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver_69_Coupe 31 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Did not get quite as far as I wanted to this weekend. With the exception of a few minor fixes on the engine compartment body work and cutting the steering column hole. Paint is in the near future. By next weekend I hope.

Fordrevhead 29 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 I like the color too. But with all of that effort I would have welded the shock tower wings prior to sealing and painting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you referring to the holes for the shelby drop? I left the uppers there just in case I need to use them. Whatever ones that I don't use are getting rubber plugs.
