Went to get fuel in the car and ended up meeting a deer. It’s breaking my heart seeing the car like this. I am in search of a good condition header panel assembly and passenger front fender. If anyone has one in the Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, or Western Iowa area. Please let me know. I need to get this car put back together ASAP. I have it slated to ship to Texas in 4 days. I would rather it go as a complete car then in pieces.

I reached out to the local Facebook Mustang II groups and got a few responses. I’m supposed to meet a gentleman tomorrow who has a good header panel and possibly a good fender.

I’ve already made all the necessary repairs to the radiator support. So if he has a good header panel and fender. I can get my car back together tomorrow. Won’t have time to do paint before it has to go to Texas of course. But at least it will be a complete car again.

Those Aussies know how to build a deer smasher.

That sucks! I have a header panel as well, but it's packed away somewhere and I probably couldn't get it to you so quick. I don't have a spare fender though. Hopefully the other one works out! Now, the million dollar question: what's it heading to Texas for? You've had that car a long time, I can't believe you've sold it....?

Absolutely not. I will never sell this car. I am moving to Texas. I’m just waiting for my house to sell here in Illinois. Until then, I am moving all my toys to Texas in advance and storing them in an aircraft hangar until i can get there myself.

Well, she is more colorful but every bit as sexy. She can now be transported as a complete car. I’m going to change her name to Patchwork.

The M II car groups are amazing people. I put out a request on facebook with the local Mustang II group and I had several replies of people with parts wanting to help.

I met the nicest guy that has so many parts for these cars. I was in shock at his collection. He had everything I needed and he was more than fair with his prices.

I could not have got her put back together so quickly if it wasn’t for the comradery of Mustang II community.

Know what's funny - the extra header panel I have is orange too!

My friend has a Mustang II Cobra he just bought and is looking for same replacement parts as well. Do you think you could tell me if the guy you got your parts from has a website or contact info?
