I know it looks good but fear not...I’m not done sanding and spraying the bottom of this one yet.

Installing web bracing and stiffening rails Coating everything before and after install.

Whew! There for a minute I thought you weren't going to sand the bottom of that car 7 or 8 times. I was thinking man went to all that trouble on the top side and just left the bottom looking like crap.

I need to go through and save your pictures for future reference. These pictures are a great roadmap for all of the firewall passages / holes and the random body brackets and mounts which are not so easy to see on an assembled car. Thanks a million for taking the time to post all of this. Besides the awesomeness of the restoration / build itself, the technical information you've presented is great!

Thanks man. Glad the pics help. I’m always cutting these cars apart so anytime you need a pic of something. Just holler. Sometimes I cut out entire firewalls even. Lol

 

[95steedamustang]

Time to get the trunk and trunk jambs where they need to be. All spots welds smoothed and jambs sanded and worked

 

[95steedamustang]

And some fresh epoxy as our first primer
