Dakota Digital was awesome enough to donate new gauges, they are going to look awesome. Check out their site at: http://www.dakotadigital.com/

It is hard to believe 2 weeks ago this car was on the street driving, and I know some of you will contend you could have done it sooner, but its still neat.

We are going to cut the shock towers perhaps this coming week and work on getting a cross member and get the control arms and other parts from the junk yard. I'll keep you all posted on the progress, hopefully we manage to get students in the shots finally, but I guess its pretty hecktic to do with 34 students are all over the shop.
 
Students at work....

Here are some shots of the students at work, and some of their own projects. Since it is a Junior College, the age range is all over, if you're curious.

Here are a few shots of the 64 1/2 Mustang. From what I can tell the front end suspension has been taken apart, not sure if the shock towers are cut out or if that has been started yet.

What are you doing to get air to your heater? Or are you even putting a heater in the car? I would like to seal mine but I want a heater.

Looks like a cool project! Could you tell me a little bit more about the school? is there a website or something? keep posting pictures, I like them.:D

Thanks, Alex

Well From what I understand we are doing an aftermarket heater and AC that will no longer require the use of the vents, I think its a Vintage air setup.

The school is "Fresno City College" in Fresno California, they just have a good automotive program. The street rod class being taught was added this quarter and my father is the primary instructor, but he does have assistance from the teacher that teaches body work and painting.

There is not a school website yet for the class with the excpetion of the Blog page I'm running for the class. They may add one eventually.
