Busy summer has slowed progress on the car, but I was able to finally get the clips for my rear window upper chrome in the RIGHT SPOTS, and got that installed (on less clips than the factory installed - too much struggling). The side pieces lock it in place, and installed easily - I used thread sealant on the screws.
The rocker chrome went on pretty well - one clip gives me a little trouble,...
I also got the drip rail chrome in place. YES, stripping the paint from the top and bottom of the rail is necessary, and makes installation go smoothly.
Anyway,...recent pictures.


I built THIS Ford!
Next is wheel well chrome (and mudflaps), rear fender "C" ornaments, and decide what all I need to do with the clear coat (to make it "acceptable" to my 'perfectionist eye').
Thanks for looking!

 

Still moving slowly on my Mustang. Front wheel-well chrome installed easily, screwing into the original holes in the flange, in almost every case. Anyway, it came out perfect,...
Big question for anyone/everyone,...due to the rear fender skin replacements, there is no wheel-well 'flange' to drill into, in some spots. Drilling would penetrate the body over the top of both sides, and some the repaired passenger well rear. I am pondering HOW to attach the wheel-well chrome, and the necessary rear 'splash guards'/'mudflaps'.
Does anyone have any really good ideas of how to attach the items, without drilling into the body? I'm probably going to have to adhere the w.w. chrome (not sure what would be best, so that it can be removed, later), but I can't come up with anything brilliant for the guards/flaps,....
Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Man, these are some 'beautiful' well-wells, now! I've applied POR15 (a real mess, in my experiences, but WORTH EVERY CENT!) to all of the new weld seams inside each of the fender lips, and automotive seam sealer to follow. Sprayed the brake drums, differential, and wheel-well inners with flat black, to make all of the rest look nice. Not really a "pictures" kind of thing, but it will show, in the pics of the car, later.
I'll attach the rear well-well chrome with as many screws as I can, but in the 'arch' of the chrome, I will use clear E6000, so that I won't put screws into the interior (trunk) of the car - I believe that it will eventually rust, no matter how well it could be sealed.
More later. All have a good Halloween!

 

Pics, that my sister took, don't look too bad,...I never got any, before I put the car into 'hibernation', in the garage, for the winter.
I think it's finished - JUST in time for it's 58th year anniversary, December 16th, 1967! Green Christmas Mustang coupe,...
Happy Holidays!

 

Mustang looks good!

 

Thanks, JimC! It's really satisfying to see it back to "like new", after owning and driving it for 35 years! Especially since the last paint job was such an UGLY (oxidized!) Army green!
The "T" top sunroof was sure nice, while I was driving it to work (parked in the sun everyday), but it really did not look that great, and it just barely sealed (luckily it never leaked into the car!). Plus it was simply an "insult" to a '68 Mustang,...OK for a van, perhaps.
And the tiny bit of rust at the lip of the fenders needed repair - which lead to the full wheel-well rust repair on the passengers' side! It's been in Colorado it's entire life, so was pretty much rust-free. I'm sure glad to have the car rust-free, now!
It will go up for sale after I get a year, or two, to enjoy it,...
Thanks, again!
