I installed one on my 66 vert to go along with a Borgesen power assisted gear box to get rid of all the fluid leaks associated with the ram cylinder and hoses. Very clean install, compact. My only issue with it is that when you remove the mounting bolts, it leaks. The mounting bolts also seal...

This supplier is about 30 minutes from me. I have been there. They specialize in used Fox body parts. It is run buy several young kids and they may or may not be there when you arrive. Their prices aren't the greatest, but they have Fox body parts if you need them.

My next task was to tackle the quarter panels. I have been searching for NOS quarters for about 5 years and finally found them. I stole one of them for $400.00. I also found an NOS outer wheel house for the passenger side. My inners are in remarkably great shape. So, now I have two quarters and...

I would be interested to see if you can get tail pipes to fit over the axle.

The cowl hat was bad. Unfortunately I didn't get good pictures of it. I had to source a hat from a donor car and fabricate the metal around it. It had an 8 inch hole, and the bracket that holds the air box under the dash was gone. I am soo glad that part of the project is behind me.

Now that my inner fenders are complete, I can mount fenders and hood hinges. I have had this car for 20 years, and this will be the first time I have been able to mount hood hinges. I was unable to mount the hood due the rotted inner fenders around the hinges. So, I did a trial fit of the RF...

Don't be afraid to look for used lifts as well. I picked up an eagle four post list for $1100.00 that was practically new. The guy was moving and didn't want to move it. My garage was built with the lift in mind also. You can get wheel kits for the lift to move it when needed. You can move it...

I did find a picture of the floor test fit. It had to go in from the bottom of the car.

Next project to tackle was the toe boards/floors. My toe boards were very thin in spots, so those areas were cut out and the entire area was sandblasted. The floors were also in bad shape so I made the decision to cut out the entire floor and replace with a one piece floor from a 70 mustang. The...

My car does not have a fold down rear seat, so I can't help you there. I thought about adding one, but then realized that I won't be hauling lumber in this car, so I don't need it. For the welds near the C pillar, Yeah that is normal. yours look worse than mine though. Your car was probably...

Thanks for the kind words, but I think if I had sense about me I would have bought one already done. Actually I really enjoy my time in the garage, I call it my brain eraser time.

Wow, $8. I need to find better sources for this stuff. I do go to a body supply shop, but they kind of make me feel like they are doing me a favor just selling to me since I am not a body shop.

Here are some more shots of the inner fender repairs to complete the cowl repairs. The gray you see between the panels is weld thru primer. Man this stuff is expensive. I think I paid $38.00 for an aerosol rattle can. I use it between the panels and then clean it up externally as best I can...

It's an 89 full race car. I just sold an 82 GT and I also owned an 88 that I used up.

So, my next task was to tackle the cowl. I needed patch panels, so I found a guy in Alabama that was willing to cut the entire cowl off of a donor car and send it to me in exchange for some AC parts I had. I was able to section the firewall and inner cowl panel from the donor parts as well as...

I have started a restoration on a 71 fastback and have decided to document it here for others to enjoy. I'm sure I can learn a lot from this forum and hopefully I can provide some inspiration and help for others that have taken on a huge project like mine. The car is an M code fastback with a...

Ok, so it can be done. I do not want to replace the roof, it is in good shape. Thanks for the tips, I will give it a go and post pics. Mark

Hello, I am a new member from the Chicago area. Looks like a great site and forum. I am doing a frame up restoration on a 71 sportsroof 351C 4V 4-speed. I look forward to sharing my experiences along the way. I am deep into metal work at the moment and plan to do most of the resto (including...

I am in the process of replacing my quarter panels with NOS pieces. The quarter panel goes under the roof skin and has to go over the interior quarter window support sheet metal. I am having trouble getting the quarter panel in place without bending the roof skin or QP to get it in place...
