I started to order stuff again, last week my motor plate stuff came in from Skinny Kid, this week a bunch of stuff from Rhodes Race Cars should be here. The goal is to have all the chassis work done by fall. Leaving the drive-line and fuel system for the winter/spring.

I must have done something right, it fits with out the metal deck lid under it.



Now, its time to take what I learn from what I did wrong and do it for real with carbon.

Lots of little things are going into this car.

Gonna be a sn-95 dash, or fox mustang? I really like the sn-95 dash look personally.

It'll be a 89-93 dash to keep the weight down.

Started to make a mold fo the deck lid in order to make a lighter than steel version.

The car was a really nice color before the last owner made it flat black.

Lots of waxy goodness ( I knew I kept this garbage wax for a reason).

Made sure to keep the hump for all the Lincoln looks as possible.

Figured that I'd knock out some work today so, here are the mid evening update. The column support is out, the main harness is about ready to be fully pulled out of the car and, the parking brake assembly is gone for good.

Parking brake cable is dying to get out of there.

The quicker, more pleasant way of taking the wiring out of a car.

It's starting to look like a welcoming home to a Mustang dash.

Team Z is having a 10% off sale this week which includes their tube lower core support. That would open up some nice space.

Only doing the lower doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It doesn't really save much weight and, doesn't open up enough where you really need it.

That is a cool looking snail
What turbo is that, also what kind of coating is on it?

Its a Garrett 88mm, the compressor cover is powder coated.

The rear coil overs came in yesterday and I put them on today. It is safe to say that with no weight in the car, I'll have to raise it up about an inch and do some fender work.
