still collecting parts i am working on buttoning up the motor now bought new clutch and pressure plate and i am thinking of getting a high flow water pump.i anticipate driving it this summer as far as getting it done i hope .i still have to get the fuel lines and brake lines and i need to get the t-top seals so that i can get going on the interior.the motor will be in in two weeks funds are low now since i have been waiting 5 weeks to get paid and i am on crutches so i have to do things sitting down.i am still unsure if i want to go with long tubes or shorties my fear right now is the heat from the headers affecting the shock towers.
 
Awsome build thread. You surely know your way around body and fiberglass work.

As far as the headers, I'd go shorties. The pain and agony associated with long tubes just isn't worth the couple of extra horses from them.

thanks for the compliment i was pricing the long tubes on 50 resto and they're like 500 bucks ouch!!i am not worried about the extra horsepower but i am willing to pay that much to keep the heat away from the strut towers .
 
btw i wired the ambient lighting to the doors for the mustang emblems they light up in 6 different colors they are going are going to look great at night. the armrests are going to be different too i started on those today alittle custom work to do alot of fun.
 
this occupied my time this past winter instead of working on the car

basement flooded on me and after removing paneling i found this :eek:

Nice job Sam! Those door panels are killer! You going to be ready for WW? Did you get my text on Sunday? After last years WW, I will not be there this year. Local fair is going on and will be at that.

Man those door panels look badass! I want some! :lol:

Will you be at Mustang Alley at all on Sat? I'll be hanging out but w/o the car.
