I got to the body shop early this morning and started with the layout of the hood stencil. That took me longer than I thought it would and truthfully longer than it should have. I remeasured and remeasured until I was sure that it was as correct as I could make it. I masked off the rest of it...

Motor City Mustang might have the parts for your fold down seat. He has been very helpful with parts that I have needed throughout my restoration process.

Welcome from Chicago! There are all sort s of people to learn from on this forum. Have fun, and ask lots of questions!

My friend Mike just sent me these pics. It seems that he is a man on a mission this afternoon to help me get all of the rat-rod black painted tomorrow if possible. He drove the car from the body shop building over to the paint shop building. He had a couple of his guys remove the hood and place...

Thank you, I am over all very pleased with how it is coming together so far. :D

Sorry, I just realized I did not update this post as sold.

I don't like the look either, hopefully, it was at least a re-pop hood. I had a friend back when we were kids who had a real 69 Trans Am and he cut that hood open for a blower on a Big-Block Chevy that he installed in it. I wanted to strangle him at the time. I would guess that now that we are...

My glass guy was able to get over to the body shop yesterday afternoon and get my windshield and rear glass installed in the Mustang. Finally, it can legally be driven on the street! Also, my friend Mike, who is the manager of the body shop it is at, is available this weekend to help (baby sit)...

I agree, if this was available pre-project I would have grabbed it up.

I got to the body shop bright and early with a plan. I had a list of all of the 8 things I wanted to accomplish and I wanted to leave by 1:00. At 2:45 I had completed 5 of them and decided it was well past time to go home. I did get a bunch done but did not complete my whole list. I installed...

Thanks, My 73 from high school looked just like yours. Of course I couldn't afford Magnums back then, haha.

Welcome from Chicago! Nice looking ride!

I really like how the small changes like the front spoiler and rear stripe make a large improvement in the overall look of the car. They give the car a little more attitude without going over the top. :love:

Swung by the body shop after work today to drop off the rear seat parts and window parts to install on Saturday. My freshly painted decklid was just sitting there next to the car so I took a few minutes and installed the decklid. Once I did that, I couldn't resist bolting on the spoiler as well...

It took me a while, but I thought of my excuse. Both of the problem parts I sprayed in the prep station. I repainted them on Saturday in the booth which has much better lighting and they turned out much better. That's it, the poor lighting in the prep station is going to be my excuse for the...

I ran over to the body shop first thing this morning to get my parts out of the paint booth and clean up the booth so I took a couple quick pics of my newly re-painted decklid. I put a good sized run in the paint on the decklid and the mirror heads both had transparent spots in the base coat on...

Those are two up-options that I forgot to mention. I also added a 3.50 to 1 limited slip, and dual exhaust with the cut out rear valence. I have changed so much that I sometimes forget what I have done, haha. I am aspiring to the same effect, to have it present as stock just a really...

Not trying to offend any of the purists, but I am up-optioning the crap out of it. The car was green with green interior, H-code 351 2V from the factory, so it was not a rare car per se. I bought the car without an engine so it will never be a numbers match car like some of my other cars are. I...

This morning I installed the new carpet and polished and reinstalled all of the chrome trim and reassembled my fold down seat. I dyed the silver vinyl on the rear seat for now, My plan is to do all of the seat upholstery over the winter. I am hoping to get it together and drive it yet this...

I got to the body shop early yesterday, my friend Mike met me there before 6;00. This was so we could repaint the deck lid and mirror heads that we weren't happy with. We got those parts re-painted and he was able to head home by 8:00 and meet his brother in law and nephew, the carpenters, to...
