BB427

Groho,
No color picked yet. White interior. Open for suggestions and ideas

The one piece trunk floor would not work with the rear suspension and fuel cell I have. The piece in front of the fuel cell will be a trip to make as the shock crossmember and the anti-roll assy extend above the stock floor.

Yes, the quarters are lap welded and the skins were flush mounted with a step tool.

I purchased the new inner and outer wheel houses seperate so I could add to them and then weld them in the car. No problems at all.

Marc,
I cut the hinge mounts from the wheel houses but left them attached at the top. After the tubs were finished I fabricated a new base to attach to the stock hinge mounts to the tubs. The width is stock and the hinge location is stock.

Tarafied1, thanks!!

BB427 am i seeing that correctly or did you cut 1" below the top of the old quarter and weld in a new quarter all the way around? butt weld? or did you lap the new quarter underneath the old quarter?

groho

brent, you are a GOD! thanks for the input, and I can't wait to see your end product.

All of the holes in the firewall are welded shut and smoothed. I want it smooth but I wanted to retain the stock shape.
Rolled and welded the cowl/firewall lip and smoothed. Now one smooth lip instead of three.

Been a while for an update due to the front suspension s.n.a.f.u. The Heidt's suspension for a '66 Mustang won't allow for the ride height I wanted nor will it allow for a tire as wide as I wanted so......
The front frame was raised
the cross member halved and narrowed
the rack and pinion was cut and narrowed
the oil pan was shortened and the pan notch made deeper
custom motor mounts and trans mount
new front floor pans
new front torque boxes welded to steel plated inner rockers

Everything is ok now so on to the steering and making some new inner fenders to cover up the suspension. Starting to resemble a car again.

Had to make some custom mounts using tubing and energy systems urethane bushings.[/align][/align]The new Wilwood master cylinder is attached to the factory pedal assy. and actually used the stock mounting holes.
