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.

Yeah, I think I need to pull the fenders out a bit.

Playing around with potential turbo placement and debating going to a tube front to make more room.

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.

Ready to pull all the wiring out of the car, a Mustang dash and a new column as well as finish pulling out the sound deadening.

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.

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.

Left off with this for the night, tomorrow I'll attack the top side.

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.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

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

Well, for a first attempt at a large panel mold, i don't think its too terrible. There is a lot of room for improvement but, not horribly terrible.

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.
