Freaking awesome!

[MAC390 327]

Unreal, great work, sounds great!

[newstang 388]

the sound does not do it justice either, its running open headers and despite the quiet in the mov. it is loud :-)

forming out the holes for the 2015 mustang mirrors, these have blinkers, puddle lights and power.

 

[newstang 388]

this so far is the most time consuming thing i've done, the shaved and tucked bumper is making me want to buy one made already. ( If i could find one )

[MAC390 327]

Just think about all the fun you are having, gonna look great.

I really like these mirrors. I am going to have to look at a pair of electric mirrors for mine. It's a real pain when they move each time you slam the door.

Big effort I'd imagine on the rear bumper. A full write up with many pics would certainly be nice to showcase your talents, and allow us slackers a short cut :)

Seriously though, the rear bumper on these cars apparently didn't get too many hours from Ford when designed. 

Very nice work there, carry on. 

[Footcutter11 23]

I may steal your idea.  Very nice work!

[newstang 388]

dry fitting.

I love using silica bronze to tig these parts together, flows so nice. Ill be bondo-ing and painting bumper same as car.

 

[RPM 1,190]

Real nice work there! Ya I've read and seen vids on the bronze tig welding, just never done it myself. Thaaanks...now I have another project added to my list. Ya know, California is warm this time of year, and the second of anything is always easier...hmm.

yea, its been real warm here till tonight, then we drop to the 30's, Ive never seen a 70+ degree November till this year.

silica bronze is real nice, not really for structural stuff, but for body panels its great. 

 

[MAC390 327]

Nice work there.

[newstang 388]

Welded the lower valance to the quarters. i like the clean no seam look

 

[RPM 1,190]

Good stuff! I like the welded panels, and are probably the same amount of work as getting the gap right on a bolted valance. Folks talk about the issues if it's rear ended,  but I don't buy it.

 

[MAC390 327]

I agree with RPM, really like that clean look and nice work.

[newstang 388]

if its rear ended, it will need a whole lot more than just the valance, either way, cut grind weld, paint

[Cantedvalve 128]

When I had my driver quarter replaced, they didn't preserve the valence pocket at the back.  This is a possible solution... hmmm...

Installed the electric parking brake today, 

[bigmal 225]

That's a very nice mod. What does the switch look like?

it kinda looks like this. except chrome. it has a controller that reverses polarity for the actuator motor. 

[newstang 388]

sorry, i dont know how but responded to wrong post

 

[newstang 388]

Im thinking of not doing the fold down rear seat, does anybody know what is needed to make it fixed ? 

and.... does anyone have said parts they want to part with?

 

[Cantedvalve 128]

Actually, must of the parts to make it fixed are also part of the fold down.  Rear seat upholstered parts are the same.  There are a couple of trim pieces that need swapped.  I think I have them around here someplace.  You plan on keeping the fold down parts?  I'm actually converting to... just need a few more pieces (the ones that are hard to find of course).
