No big updates unfortunately. Slowly been finishing body work on the panels when I have time.we sold our home and im about 3 weeks away from having my detatched garage work ready at my new place. Hopefully make some headway then.

Sorry my dad and I have been working on it some on the weekends just been very busy between trying to sell our home and doing a '53mg & '71 jaguar e-type for a customer. We have been working on all the body panels hood, fenders and doors mainly. I hope to get back on it hard here soon and...

^that's a great idea! Only thing I might would check on is cutting out the carpet or firewall pad where your bring it through and making sure you have enough harness to meet the dash harness.I would not want to extend every wire to the main harness plug.

^no problem. Thanks guys. Its a pretty straightforward project, I really don't think ill have to lengthen more than 1 or 2 wires maybe not any.its def gonna look 100% better than the huge harness running directly over the driver side shock tower

Good idea on the shield and that was my plan for a grommet after its painted. Hopefully the car will never be in the rain unless I get caught in it

Ive had this plan for how is was going to tuck the harness a couple weeks ago and was finally able to make it happen this afternoon.ill do a step by step for anyone wanting to do this.its not completely finished by any means as I might relocate the voltage regulator depending on turning...

Okay. Thanks much. When I drilled the old panel out I could of swore it was the original spot welds buff I must of been wrong. Ill fill them up.

Okay but why would my oem 71 tailight panel have these holes if they were never used til 73? Is no one else's like this?

Actually the way im routing everything I doubt ill have to lengthen much of it at all.ill try to get some pics of it here soon

FINALLY got the engine bay in primer this weekend. Dang what a job, I shaved a few holes in the bay and mounted some studs on the backside of the aprons for things like the horns, Starter solenoid, etc. Ill be tucking the harness and relocating the battery to the trunk.

Mach71351c I checked my old tailight panel a bit ago on my 71 and the factory panel has these same holes along the bottom of it.is it possible the tailight harness had some clips that went in there to hold it to the panel?

Thanks so much guys. Ill take care of the holes. Glad u caught it before paint. Why would they put a hole in the bottom of the extensions if nothing goes there?

When I purchased my mach 1 there was nothing on the rear of the car to go by other than the trunk so ive been buying parts and finally have accumulated everything I believe.ive replaced the tailight panel and im not sure what goes on at the bottom of the quarter extension.is this hole supposed...

Thanks. Ill check into that on the front. Does it not try to bend the tailight panel in the rear by mounting it that way?I can't picture that supporting the whole weight of the back half of the car since it only uses the brackets that weld to the trunk floor, maybe im wrong

Where are you guys mounting to on the body to hold the car on the rotisserie? It looks like where the bumper bolts to the frame rail seems like the best place for the front and possibly the rear mount of the leaf springs out back. Trying to mount this thing in the next couple months so im trying...

The one I got from national parts depot fits great.im unsure what mustang7173 is talking about.there are no tack welds from the trunk to hinges at all. Just 4 bolts that tighten down.

I think I definitely went the right route by letting somebody else do everything on mine. Inside and out of all parts including underbody for $850. You couldn't pay me to do all that for $850.its best to leave it to a professional or you'll warp every panel on the car causing you more money and...

You can run any newer mustang wheel depending on offset and if you want to run wheel adaptors or not. This route is much cheaper than a custom set.heres mine, I beileve I have somewhere around $1300 in adaptors, wheels and tires.

Made a bit of progress this weekend. Got the front and rear valance straightened along with the spoiler and finally got around to seam sealing all the joints from the doorjamb back. Today i taped up and reprimed the back half for the final time. This week ill begin the prep work on the engine bay.
