hello did someone mention me ? ;) I'm still alive, just shamelessly enjoying another car whilst only spending limited time on my 72 resto.... I will get back to it soonm I promise. tpj7q1mach, just saw your message, appears the link is broken, the guy you need to speak to is Dan, I'll message...

thanks for putting time and effort into + sharing.

congratulations. your car is the gold standard. Literally...

they look close enough. I'll need to get some at some point, shipping to UK is just getting silly. I need to make a trip out to the US and do some serious shopping once we get back to normality....

that hood is a work of art.

anyone got a side by side view to compare original with these ones? wondering why AMK would only make the Chrysler variants, and not the Ford ones...

embarassing or what hey. and to think I was one a Project Manager. let's call it scope creep ;) I now plan to have it completed by summer... (drum roll...) 2022, in time for the car's fiftieth anniversary. Talking of which, it's the 50th anniversary of the 1971-73 Mustang this year. anything...

today, my goal was to completely remove the dash and every component connected to the inner and outer firewall so I could rust treat and prime and get easier access for passenger floorpan replacement. Also to remove the wiring loom through firewall grommet needed to remove green connector to...

yes I got the battery support panel. Just waiting on another panel before I fit everything together and weld it back in. I'm going to do all the alignment when car goes to paint shop in the summer. I won't have the engine in but suspension, wheels, tank and diff will be back on to give some...

it's getting a little cold in the garage these days and progress has been slow.... prepped the inner wing rear section, removed all the horrible rust-hiding rubberised underseal, used heat gun followed by rubbing down with white spirit coated contour sanding pads to get back to shiny metal...

talking of neighbours, I have to hand sand most bodywork and stuff most of the time as my neighbours constantly complain if I use any electric sanders or compressors. Ordinarily I would have just got on with it, but given most folks are prisoners of their own homes during covid, I'll cut them...

some serious progress happening there, appreciate all the hard effort and progress you're making, one step at a time....

it does look right, on the doors in particular, but very difficult to be definitive due to the bright exterior sunlight in the pics

ok I will definitely put it back in. I'll send you a PM, would be good to get some pics of the part and show you the one i have on the passenger side so I might be able to fabricate by copying that. I'll PM Bentworker now :)

hi Fabrice, that ugly rusty too short panel you referred to above, do you know if its repopped anywhere? i am missing it on my driver side so whoever previously replaced apron didn't fabricate a replacement reinforcement panel.  I can't say I blame them it doesn't look like it adds any support...

yep, its more creamy than traditional white. I'll be repainting mine at some point and I'll being going for the original wimbledon white, the respray that's on the car in my profile pic is a little on the "full fat" milk creamy side, but I'd hope the original was more low fat/semi-skimmed"...

great job, coming along real nice, that colour pops!

very interesting read, learned tons.... I have the original USS (United States Steel?) branded fuel tank and bought a replacement from CJP just in case. When I get to reinstallation will inspect original and would prefer to keep if clean inside, has some rust spots outside but was...

great work Fabrice, I'll be moving onto the cowl area soon, so looking forward to some hand scratching followed by a lot of yelping...

thanks both. this will be a great starting point for my investigation.
