Chelle, what is left of Sadie? Rolling shell? (or would that be Chell?) I've kind of been looking for a rolling shell, I have the front fenders, valance and a set of gutted out doors with no glass and a deck lid. I also have a right rear '67-'68 skin. I'm not looking for heater or A/C, I'm looking for a bare bones street legal shell. I also have a '57 9" rear end, a C6 tranny and a 390 I want to throw together and put maybe a 150 shot of N02 on. I plan on priming it with black epoxy and I'm not too concerned about originality as far as patch panels go. What would you ask for say, rolling shell with all glass and doors, gutted interior?
Chepie - I'm still undecided on what rims will ultimately go on. I like Torque-Thrust's, but every other mustang has them and I want something a little different. For a while, though, I'll probably put the Crager's from dad's dodge on there. In the spring he's going to pull the engine & tranny (has a lot of money sunk into them) and sell the body (too hard to find parts for and his tastes have changed). He bought the Cragers new and they haven't seen many miles so I'll use them for a while.
Also, I have about 3 sets of tail light buckets now so I can do lots of playing around with setting up sequential turn signals using the stock tail lights.
1320stang - Trust me, Sadie's frame isn't worth saving. It's got a lot of really serious rust. But I will be gutting her in the spring. When I do, anything that I don't need but is still in reasonable shape I'll be listing for sale. Also, anything that is on the new Sadie, but I'm replacing with stuff from old Sadie. Probably some of the new parts too since there'll be quite a bit of stuff that I bought for Sadie that I won't need for the new Sadie.
As far as the glass goes, her glass has some pitting & scratches, but it's not all that bad and probably salvagable for an okay driver. I do have her two doors (driver's is dented in pretty good and has a couple rust holes, but inside part is okay, passenger has rust holes, but again, inside is okay). And I have an extra driver's door which is in pretty good shape (couple minor dents on the flat parts of the exterior). I really don't want to have to deal with them right now though, but in the spring, you can have first dibbs.

Oh, trust me, the first halfway warm day I get, I'm going out there and installing the heater. I want to actually be able to drive it this winter without my fingers & toes falling off.

LOL. If you're gonna do that, you might as well just order everything you need from a catalog. About all you'd have from Sadie would be the roof & trunk lid and the roof has a couple dents in it. Oh yeah, and the driver's side floor pan, that's new.

Chelle - Sadie Too looks great! Congrats!
btw - when you get to picking parts off of old Sadie, I still need the electrical pigtail off of the brake distribution block.

Fritz - Yup, I'm gonna save it for you. 
EDIT: I can't remember, do you have disk brakes on the front of Sally? If not, were you planning on putting some on? I have a set of front disk brakes from a 75 Maverick that I was going to put on Sadie. Don't need them now.
bnickel - Yeah, I'm definitely saving old Sadie's exhaust. I'll put it on when new Sadie's wears out. And I'm starting to grow away from the slotted mags (those aren't in great shape anyway. Someone (not me) has hit too many curbs with them). Plus, we definitely want to save dad's Cragers but we also need wheels on the Dodge so we have to swap them with something.

I just "finished" doing my disc brake swap, i.e.: the spindles are on, but my freshly rebuilt calipers, discs, bearings, etc., are sitting on a shelf in my basement waiting for Spring. I got my set up last January from WORTH, he had them off of a '65...............so I just need the pigtail to hook up a warning light.
