    Dont know who all will remember our Eleanor project (NO, NOT elenore-ELEANOR, the 73 Mach, as in the original one). Well, a lot of fuss and work and money later, we're getting close to having the body work done. We gave in to time and equipment (ok, and skill) constraints and let her got to a friends house (he's a welder by trade) for the majority of it earlier this year-she should be back in less than a week. Then we'll just need to patch the drivers quarter (bottom), drivers door jamb, replace the drivers door (already bought), fix the cowl and eventually replace the last inner fender apron. Rather than link all the pics-here's a link to her cardomain site: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/796631 I still need to update it a bit, add the pics of the drivers side drip rail replaced, and the taillight panel in...She's gotten full floor pans, pass side front torque box (btw, "some modification" listed on the early models is bs-it's A LOT of modification!!), truckn pan, taillight panel, deck lid, patched pass wheel can-hopefully soon the pass quarter will be out and new one in (new/old-bought it off Ohio Mustang, cut out of another car). I cant wait to get her back :banana: and I thought I'd share...will try not to be so scarce, I gotta lotta catchin up to do, I'm sure!!

    yeah, she could have fit that "rustang" nickname! Blake, you couldnt be more right-cant hardly wait to get her back!! I wish we had been able to do all the body work ourselves-but sometimes you gotta know when to step aside so it gets done right. This was one of those times!


    Just updated page 8 on the cardomain site, added pics of the drip rail replacement & the quarter coming off :banana:
