Hello, New To The Page, Just Bought My First Mustang!

The Chicagoan said:

Hello,

I Just bought a 89 fox body notch back and I'm in love.
It's my first real project car and my first muscle car.
Body is rust free and came with a rebuilt 302 connected to a c4 trans.
Welded mini cage, frame ties and little things here and there.
5 lug conversion, soon to have disc brakes all around, and 4.10 gears in the rear end.

I just took the motor and trans out to tackle the engine bay. I want to fill all the holes and do a wire tuck.
I've read the best thing is to weld the holes and grind them down. Would you suggest getting the engine bar panels too.
I love the show look and i'm planning on giving her the paint job she deserves.

All feed back, suggestions on where to start are welcome. Also anything I should be aware of going into it.

Thanks in advance.

Skim through this thread-some of my best suggestions are in here.

And don't worry-I'll be around to offer worthwhile suggestions, right @Davedacarpainter

C'mon now Dave, the wheel tubs only added a few weeks to the build.. Beer and a new blue car and a monster are the ultimate derailment for Doby.
