Aaron grinding down the welds. (Forgive his outfit- it was 92 here today!)



Mostly finished out back.
Love the car and the work you are doing on it. 67 Fastback was my first Mustang I owned back in 74 when I was 16. Great car, 289 4 barrel with a Hurst 2 plus 2 shifter. Those were fun days.

Over the last few days we put on the other side stripe, installed the FatMat on the roof along with new insulation and Scott Drake headliner and visors. We also started on the wiring and Aaron insisted we put on the tail light panel emblem. I told him if he keeps this up we're going to run out of "fun" things to do when the frustrating parts kick in!

So, maybe I missed it back in the whole body stripping/dis-assembly part of the build, but how did you go about cleaning/repainting the trunk lid spring and door hinges? The door hinges can just be pulled off and redone, but I've never dealt with the torsion bar of the trunk lid before. Did you sandblast it in place? Take it off and strip it?? The picture of the trunk up triggered the question. Nice progress

Thanks, 1970!

Racer Dave, the 68's did not come with the torsion bar, only in 67. The hinges were removed, blasted and painted by themselves.

How was the head liner install. I've never done one.

Headliner install was fine. I understand how some say it's a "hassle" but we had no issues and it really turned out great. I can't get a good picture for some reason but it really looks good. Plus it's only $34.99 from NPD. I recommend NOT installing it yourself, get a friend or ask your wife to help. We watched these youtube videos and pretty much followed what he did except we used different adhesive (IPS 1829) and binder clips instead of windlace.
