Well this is what the inside of the inner door looks like, this is the side I'll clean up and attach a new door skin to.



Below is a pic of a badly beat up door skin, this is the inside.



Here is one door all cleaned up on the inside waiting for a new door skin to arrive.



Man I'm glad I did new door skins, would hate to see all the work only look good for a short period of time once it started rusting. This is gonna look good for a long time.

Well been busy with life, out of town baseball tournament, vacataion to Florida, now back at it trying to get it painted before winter.

Well start with the bad, the replacement doors which have great inner shells had horrible outer shells, a ton of dents, dings, and bondo. So just ordered a new pair ou outer skins, 95 for the pair and free shipping, they were on sale 25% off. So it will save me a ton of time.



Stripping the decklid, just a minor area to repair, its actually all stripped on the outside.



All the rust I think is finally gone, took forever but all the pinholes, craters, etc are all gone and have a rust protact coating on them. Looks good.



And finally a little filler to take out the imperfections. Starting to finally take shape.

Sorry been a while since I posted. I have been making progress during the winder months.

Here is a new addition to the shop..a compressor that can keep up.

I just ordered a 5000w electic heater..tired of freezing my ass off.



Made some custom subframe connectors. Found a webside Daze Mustang and had some nice instructions on how to make them. Turned out nice and got them welded in.










Made up some lower control arm boxing plates to strengthen them up. Was a easy project to make and fun to do some fab work.





Got the floor pans all cleaned up finally from all the undercoating and painted. Need to do a little touch up.





Got the rear axle all cleaned up and painted. Just need to figure out what gear to put in it. I'm thinking a 3.40.

Latest sheet metal updates

Sorry haven't posted in a while. Have gotten a lot done. All the major sheet metal is repaired. All the quarters, wheel houses, patches are in the main body of the car...Finally.
Got a lot of grinding to do over the winter. LOL.
Got a lot of parts painted ready to be able to put the front suspension on...
Goals for the winter, make subframe connectors, install front suspension, grind welds, and strip all the paint off, patch one door, and not sure what else.
