Rear Axle assembly is prepared and istalled over the holiday week. Spring perches are installed along with Axle dampers (quad shocks). An examination of the rear brakes shows there will be work required here.

The AC brake and clutch pedals re installed. Th easy part: drilling and bolting them o. The hard part: getting the little black rubber bushings installed into the pedal themselves.

The Kit did not come with a Gas Pedal, so I built one myself.

I think it looks pretty good

Brake Master Cylinder, Steering Column Assemby, are installed. It Steers!

We have floors. The floorboards were installed both driver and passenger. Pop rivits were used to install the panels.

Clutch and Brake Pedal assembly get installed along with the Driver footbox panel.

Brake Calipers get ready, Brake rotors are sent out to the machine shop to be turned. Steering column that we ordered last week was wrong. We are still waiting for the replacement

Heat in the Garage. As the temperature drops in Northeast Ohio, we can continue to make progress by using this nice little space heater. The Grage is insulated and as long as the outside temperature stays above 20 degrees we can work.

Clutch and Brake Pedals Get Bent! These needed to get bent to provide clearance for the wide of foot to be able to hit the gas pedal without hitting the brake.

Steering rack is installed.

Front Suspension begins to take shape. We ventured into the first of many boxes. I assembled the upper contol arms and shock assemblies. The parts were mated to the Lower control arms from the mustang and attached to the car as you see here.

COnstruction begins. Aluminum Side panels are attached to frame. Firewall is also attached. These panels are attached using pop rivits.

Transmission and steering rack get some aluminum coating

Photo one shows us using our new favorite tool the needle scaler. Photo two shows the primed rear axle assembly.

Bodywork hits a snag/Driveline work Continues

We hit a little snag on the bodywork. We have completed the bodywork on the body section, however, we need to mount the body back on the car to fit the doors properly. We may still look to get the body in primer before the snow flies. We have shifted gears to start working with the mechanicals. We have cleaned up the rear axle primed it with a rust converting product. The steering assembly is coming along and the transmission has been painted.

Body work continues, We had hoped to have this work completed, however, perfection takes time.

Engine is coming alog

Work on the engine in prgressing. We have had problems getting the starter off as well as the motor mounts. They are all off after some hard work, New Motor mounts have been purchased, The old ones were shot
