WOW! What happended, you nailed your quarter panal against that light pole and you wrecked the entire back frame so decided to build the body instead of just saying screw it and totaling your car?

And, its sad to see another mustang wrecked like that but i suppose it it fixed / fixing yours then its fine.

Yeah, something like that. Mustangs and wet grass dont mix. The frame wasnt damaged, only the quarter panel and outer wheel well were. I could of junked the car but why, 1. it was paid off 2. insurance wasnt gonna give me a dime for it, as it only had the basic coverage. 3. I plan on getting a classic mustang to restore, and this gives me a bit of practice before I tackle a car that has potential to be worth something.

Well its coming with a Comp Cam, not sure if installed already or not. As for the coil overs did you read the directions from MM? There is a special tool needed to roll the fender or inside of the shock tower IIRC to make them not rub. Their website has a full How To.
