Really great looking.  You hard work will definitely show in the finish.  The nice thing about reassembling is that each part that you put back on seems to drive you more to put on the next part after that and so on as  you see your car coming together.     

 
Found some time to work on the 71 the last couple weeks. Did the final alignment on front sheet metal ( needed to install hood /front bumper /headlight supports etc.) so I could install the side stripes and paint the lower argent.  I still need to mask off the lower area to do the argent yet.. Then  I can final sand the hood and front bumper for paint.  I installed all the pre bent fuel/brake lines.  Also started doing the front suspension and prepping the rear end housing/backing plates etc for paint and assembly.        Still have a lot of work to do and hopefully I can find some more free time to work on it.

You have great skills, thanks for sharing. Are you going to put stripes on it ? Chuck

 
It's looking amazing, so not to be too critical, I notice that some of the headlight bucket area brackets are not in "slop grey", or is that just the light not showing it in the picture? 

Not to say mine is perfect, but I have pics of my 71 if it helps in that regard.

 
What  can I say except "wow".  It's always neat to see a car go through the restoration process.  The best part is when you have it completed and get to step back and admire your work and the beauty of the car.

No I wasn’t sure on correct finish on those brackets so I did them black. I did the gray on some of the hood latch support brackets .

Geoff could you post the pics that you have of those brackets from your car?

im not trying to build a 100% correct mustang but I’d like  it detailed and close to original as I can get it with in reason .

thanks, Brent
