JD08 42 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 I'm curious as to what the bedliner type material is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeStang 247 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 Lizard Skin or something of that nature I would guess, or scorpion or Line X perhaps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 When we do the underside, we use Vortex which is the same thing we use for our truck beds. But for wheel wells and the underside of the fenders, we go with U-Pol. 2 Selmadox and MatveyAddix reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69Mustang16 92 Report post Posted October 29, 2016 Here are the tires mounted on the wheels We then mounted them to see how are offset/backspacing was. They were perfect. We also got the side pipe rockers set in place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69Mustang16 92 Report post Posted October 29, 2016 Next we are going to lower the car to set our ride height. We are custom fabbing a lower valence so we need to set our ride height before taking those measurements and building it. Here's a rough sketch of what we are going with After that is built, the only fab work left will be the shaved door handles. Then we can finally get to prime/block/sand work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SWPruett 83 Report post Posted November 4, 2016 Excellent build! I am impressed with the fit of the rear bumper, especially when it looks like not a lot of cutting was required! Any pics of what was done for it? Keep those updates coming! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guillaume69 150 Report post Posted November 5, 2016 We used raptor liner for the underside, wheel wells and fender undersides. We used exactly the same product for my car. Bullet prof and water tight! After 10,000 miles on the road, it still looks brand new and shiny. Great build, by the way. Keep them pics flowing our way!!
