After Brian finished the front end repair we sent if out to get the engine compartment and undercarriage sand blasted

 

WOW.... you were not kidding about having to remove all the sheet metal! Looks good! What kind of epoxy primer are you using?

just curious, but why not do a mini tub on this to get a fatter tire in the rear? I love restomod mustangs, but feel that a wider tire in the back really completes the restomod package.

 

Since you had the cowl off, picture set #6, where is the drain for this area? Rain comes in the louvers, flows to both sides, is kept from going in the air ducts because they are tall and sealed, but where is it suppose to drain out so it does not just sit in there and rust? Are there holes in the firewall to let the water out in the engine compartment?
Thanks

 

All I use is SPI primers and clear.

We modified it a little in the front.

 

There are drain holes in the side of the cowl. What louvers they are filled in?

 

Brian fit and welded the Global West subframe connectors.





Brian did not like how the torque boxes fit in the rear so he fixed that.

 

Epoxy primed the engine compartment and undercarriage





Started the bodywork on the fender aprons





The extra holes in the firewall were patched and the engine compartment epoxy primed



I still wasn't happy with the fender aprons and we did a little bodywork on the firewall







One coat of SPI epoxy primer





Two coats of SPI Turbo urethane primer

 

Coming along. Love the pics.

 

I never have liked the way Ford just stuck the taillights on the outside of the taillight panel and the owner agreed. He wanted to install 67 taillights but the taillight panel is to small so we are recessing the taillights. He ordered a set of billet bezels from Eddie Motorsports.

The first step was to get the taillights to fit the new taillight panel and trace around it.



Brian decided to make a new inner bracket out of thicker metal.



This was his first attempt but it was a little to small so he had to make another one out of an old seat riser.



Test fitting the taillight



His new bracket tack welded in place





The top piece is just to hold it in place and will be trimmed.





The next step will be to make the filler pieces

 

Brian cut out the other side and test fit the taillights
