Is the glass smaller on the non t-top doors? It always seemed like the glass is smaller, although I could be wrong.


Whats your plan for paint for it?

 

[riceslayer302]

coming along well. im sure it'll be awesome considering how your other coupe came out.

No the glass is not smaller, Also it is a myth about the doors being specifiic. as for the paint, it's gonna be under wraps for now, since after the first car everyone and their brother did a two toned paint scheme.

More updates, this is good, having this thread, It forces me to make a photo journal. Hope I'm not boring everyone. Found a couple more bad spots

Got the bad quarter cut out

It had been repaired there..

Replaced bad piece on wheel house and got it welded in.

 

[1990Coupe]

Man lots of progress so far.

Is there any way you could get some pic of the subframes from under the car?

 

[Flavadave4]

Nice work, saving another Mustang from the junkyard!

 

[1991notchbackLX]

more impressive progress, would you mind me asking if this is what you do for a living or is this just a passion of yours? it looks like you've already forgotten more than i know about building cars at age 23

 

[Beasty306GT]

Nice work man lovin the progress

 

[25thmustang]

Awesome work, might have to send Joe over here!

 

[Coast2CoaStang]

Great job preserving such a rare body . What are your plans for the exterior? Are you going to stay with an 83-84 style front bumper? I will be following this build for sure.

 

[Trbofox]

Thanks everyone.
1991notchback - I want to have cars like this and I'm just too tight to pay someone to do it, so I find out how to get it done and go.

25th. - yea bring Joe over and when he see's all the stuff he'll feel lucky.

Coast2Coastang - We will retain all of the foureyed ques that we can especially the front end. Oh yea and for sure the star trek steering wheel is a keeper.

At least I can say i usta own the rarest fox ever
