Went to talk hood scoops and paint today.

There's a plethora of options to remedy that situation, but one that's tried and proven to work is the early Fox Mustang hood scoop. I ended up going that route myself, but did some extra work to make it a little different.

Just went out and snapped a few pics for your reference.

Thank you for that. You've got a mouse nest in your right hinge pocket.

Good , its still not too late for purple. Enzios custom Mustang ll will be getting the first place trophy for his super custom look. Get the two wide stripes right up the middle. Even the fish will see you coming.

What with the Vikings and Prince...purple is off the table.
Right now it's staying Black with Gold stripes.

I wonder what happened to the purple car? It was nice.

I have to see 429mII's hood scoop finished before I can form an opinion.
But if your gonna change make sure the big 14x3 air filter fits in side.

Damned pine needles. My cowl wasn't rusted out when I tore the car apart in 2000, and I'll probably have to tear the dash out to clean the needles out now. That all came from when the ex had control of everything, ripped the car covers off both Mustangs and left them unprotected out in the elements.

Been there...I can feel the pain.

drove 300 miles home today from fishing. Caught just enough for eating. No big fish. Stopped at the body shop. It's moved to the paint booth. 1st primer coat going on tomorrow morning.

I can't look at my car at the moment, but is there some type of rubber insulators on the rear suspension between the axle and the spring? I'm going to replace the springs when I get my car back and as long as I have it apart I should replace them also. I haven't been able to find them anywhere which makes me believe it's all metal?

 

[2Blue2]

I haven't seen the rear spring isolators either.
Get Stumpys traction bars and install without em.

 

[Enzio]

Do you need longer U-bolts for the Stumpys traction bars?

 

[Enzio]

Today's update. No primer yet.

Nice pictures, I cant wait. It looks to my untrained eye that they are sanding the crap out of that car.

It's a process that's for sure.

Yes. I wanted it to resemble the original as best as possible. The 14x3 fits nicely in there.
