Smoothed the firewall on the 'Stang. If I decide I need heat/AC I'll go with a Vintage Air Mini unit. Not quite finished, but you get the idea.

Looking great! How did you strip all the old paint off of everything?? That takes a ton of time. This thing will be so nice after your done you won't want to drive it!! Can't wait to see it in person!

Seems like it needs a few ribs in it, like that panel behind the shock tower. Would make it look more like it was meant to be that way.

hey man!

I used aircraft stripper and a wire wheel. I have a sandblaster now, though.

Ya, the car should be pretty cool when it's done. I got all the stuff, all the ideas, now all I need is time. Someday we'll have to get together and talk mustangs (and Capris).
