Fuel Filter and line from tank installed


Fuel Filter and line from tank installed. Next up fuel lines and Brake lines

Passenger footbox




Passenger footbox is riveted into place

Right Rear Brake causes trouble


Once I finished the rear brake install, I felt that it would be prudent to ensure that the brake bleeder screws were loosened and ready to go when it came time to bleed the brakes. The driver side went just fine, however, when I went to the passenger side the bleeder screw broke off. I had to replace the wheel cylinder. I am happy tp report that the brakes are complete again

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!

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.
