Yeah, the kid still hasn't left me alone...I'm trying to get it fixed as fast as I can heh.
Tore it all apart today. Hood is junk-o. Really mangled the one hood hinge bracket and tore the metal anchor from the unibody
...that will suck to fix. Need a cowl, wipers, blades etc. Tried taking the windshield out, but that's going to need done professionally. Trying to get that done so I can take it to the body shop.
Went to work ripping the interior apart to remove the headliner. I WANT TO KICK WHOEVER AT FORD WHO DECIDED TO USE INDUSTRIAL GLUE TO FASTEN THE HEADLINER TO THE ROOF IN THE NUTS!!!!
Really? Was that strong of glue really nessesary? Idk if any of you have tried to remove one but you WILL bow your roof in an inch or so just trying to get the headliner separated. Thank God there is tension and it springs back...I was just waiting to add creases to it.
So anyhow, I got out my body hammers only to realize that the majority of my dents are concealed above the metal windshield bracing and will need to be tack welded and slide hammered out....sucks as I thought I could save a few $ trying to sort it myself.
I'm definately going to miss the car; there is NO doubt about that. It looks and sounds amazing. However I am trying to make it something it is not, and perhaps am asking too much for the platform. For that and financial reasons it's best I move on before the moneypit grows ever deeper.
I've been a vette freak since I was 3. We've had a 69 in the family for 40yrs and I think the car will fit all the bills my mustang is lacking. Mostly seating position, a 'drivers' or sports car, a 6spd, targa, and the mod happy LS1. Although I will be skipping the ws6 ls1 car Ive wanted since 8th grade I think I will thank myself later for getting a lighter more engineered car. Been kicking around one of those STS turbo kits for a 'future mod.'
I kicked around the idea of going and buying the cleanest vert roller I could find and BOSS 351 swap it with a single turbo and a t-56; but it's still going to have my other dislikings.
I'll get some pics up when I can.
