1966 Mustang no rust repair but we are still going to cut it up

Just wondering here, what tools did you use to get down to the shiny bare metal on your aprons? Was it a sanding flapper disc on an angle grinder and/or a wire wheel on an angle grinder?

A lot of it was done with wire wheel on a drill

It seems like a lot of work to retain the 289. Are there plans for a Mod-Motor in the future?

I sprayed SPI epoxy before starting the bodywork the next day

Bodywork is finished was going to epoxy prime again but the temperature dropped below 60 and it is to cold to spray epoxy.

We took the engine apart today and I can't believe how clean it is.

I also epoxy primed the fender aprons and block sanded them. I found a few low spots so I added a little more filler than block it out.

Hey Rusty,

Whose kit are you installing? I would be interested in knowing how well the E-brake holds that rig when finished. Since our OEM systems are so pathetic.
Nice work!
