    well started body work on my 68..

    Nice looking stang! Where is the rust hiding? Don't see any in those shots. I personally would lose the Mustang script on the fenders. Seems like too much to have two badges there, one is enough.

    Quarter Panel Skins & paint questions..

    I'm in the middle of doing skins on my 69. You can see pics of it here: Left Quarter Panel pictures by FordP51 - Photobucket 1) I'm doing the whole trunk pan, but I can't imagine why you couldn't do the drop offs. I guess it depends on where you cut your quarter panel. 2) Yes, that should...

    My first time welding and patching...

    +1, great advice there! Good job for first time out. You'll just get better and faster. It takes a while to realize how important the prep work is.

    +1 on photobucket or other picture sharing sites. Soooo much easier than uploading to the the forum

    What have I got - 1965 or 1966?

    Does the number on the title match the numbers on the fender aprons?

    3.8/auto swap into 68? Possible?

    I would move the whole wiring harness over, you'll need some of the ignition stuff to make the anti theft stuff work correctly.

    1969 Mach1 Quarter Panel Repair

    Thanks Barnstang! Great comments, I was hoping someone who had wrestled with this would chime in. That helps greatly. Yeah, I had checked the rear valence. I bought a new one from NPD, and it fits the passenger side perfectly. Looks like it will fit the drivers side correctly as well after a...

    1969 Mach1 Quarter Panel Repair

    Its the same thickness as the original sheet metal. I checked them both prior to welding. I had heard the same thing, I'm guessing that might have been true of early reproductions.

    1969 Mach1 Quarter Panel Repair

    Finally the freakin' question Now for my question. I wish I had realized this before I had so much welded together, but that just makes this a little harder to deal with eh? Here's the bottom of the rear of the passenger quarter panel. You can see that the bottom is recessed quite a bit and...

    1969 Mach1 Quarter Panel Repair

    Hello all, I've been busy lately repairing the driver's side quarter panel on my 1969 Mach1. I have found very little on 69-70 quarter repair in searches, so I thought I'd share my progress with anyone interested, but I'm really posting because I have a question I'm hoping some of the...

    Max-G 66 Mustang

    Great project, looking forward to updates! I'm not sure why there's no love for the modular motors other that their size. A blown 4v makes stupid power and can be a daily driver. And the salvage yards are full of 2v motors, they are dirt cheap. Build the bottom end and add a blower and they...

    March/November wedding 60's tribute

    I've got a 1969 Mach1, an 87 LX 5.0 and a 2002 GT. I used to follow all three forums plus the off topic forum whose name kept changing. Don't have time for that anymore, just follow the classic forum these days. Great work, love everything so far except the hood scoop size. Its just not...

    How would you build your Mustang?

    I say do what you want to it its your car. Unless its a Shelby, a Boss, or one of the first production Mustangs, I say have at it and do anything to it that makes you happy, including cutting it up. They made so many Mustangs that there isn't really anything about 99% of them that make them...

    testing ciruits with no battery?

    Do you have any older portable electronics? The wall plug for older stuff used to be 12v for everything, you plug that in and connect to the battery terminals. Not alot of amps, but enough to check circuits. RC car batteries are 12v too, you could use one of those chargers.

    Installing a cowl side

    Year of car might be helpful, they are different. I've got a 69'. The outer cowl side panel would be relatively easy to do. The inner would be very difficult.

    First Step

    +1 on bagging and tagging everything. And take pictures, its hard to figure out what some odd parts and brackets are 2-5 years later. And like robbz28 said, you've got to primer asap after media blasting.
