brand new oem carlite quater windows, these are getting harder to find are big $$. the repos don't have the mustang lettering and the qaulity isn't the same so I paid for the real thing.

This is all I have right now a sneek peak. I'm going to start stripping the car down before it goes to the shop so I'll update later.
 
that too.
but most of my 'project' cars are very hard to get parts for.
cant just go down to the dealershiop and pick up parts for the 69 caddy.

I got a few parts from some guys in my local club, a rust free perfect drivers door and lower ds skirt. The others stuff came from PPI who specializes in hard to find mustang stuff, http://www.performancepartsinc.com/home.html & LRS for alot of stuff also http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/Mustang. I have been stock piling parts for the last 2yrs getting ready for this project on top of what has already been done. hopefully within the next year or so the last and final step will the motor build for it while I cruise it during that time ( I have another 302 block in my parents garage for the build) and no more major stuff after that!

took advantage of the nice weather and started stripping it down and getting it ready for the body shop. I have some more stuff to do but it's almost ready to head out.
 
It finally got picked up the other day for the trip to the body shop. She got a taxi ride since the roads are full of salt/sand..

Thanks.The wheels while nice are 99% going. I'm most likely going with 17" Pony R's. The car came stock with pony wheels and i'm going to make it stock looking exterior wise but keeping 17" so it wil have a factory look. I'm putting on 17x8's on the front & 17x9's on the rear.

this is what they look like..

I'm also toying with getting some Saleen SC replicas with deep dish rears if I wanted to change things up...

one of the sickest notches I have seen by the way and is my current wall paper :drool:.
 
Yeah it's sick..The guy who owns the blue notch is on one of the sites I'm on and is from NC. The car looks sick and backs it's up, built boosted motor putting down over 600hp at the wheels. My buddy Josh down in CT is working on a 4bolt main 351 with a turbo estimated right now to be about 750+hp at the rear wheels. He split the stock 302 block with the other turbo setup over the summer.
 
It looks familiar ask him if he knows Brian screen name 25th mustang..He owns a 2tone LX black top / copper color bottom with a red pin stripe. He is from CT also.
 
how come u did not get some updates headights for ur fox body? like say maybe the 3 piece all clear, or maybe blacked out 1's or whatever?

not into the ultra clears or the black outs + the stock headlights fit the best. many times you see the aftermarket headlights crooked. I'm looking to restore the exterior to stock oem as much has possible and build a sleeper. The plans are for a built motor down the road in the 350- 400rwhp range that will cruise all day, the tranny and rearend are already built up ready to go and I have a block ready for the build. That's why no big cowl hood, aftermarket headlights, wings etc.
 
stopped by body shop before xmas to check on things. They had started to take of parts and I was happy to see that there is no major rust, mostly surface/minor rust areas that will clean up real easy. The ground effects didn't have hardly any dirt built up in them after all these years. there was some crap under the rear wing though, all in all she is really solid so I'm happy that no major rust work has to done.

I also scored a brand new OEM leather wrapped steering wheel still in the factory wrapper to replace mine which is worn at the top of the wheel. These are hard to find and I had my name on a list at PPI for when he got any and he only got 2 leather and 3 non leather w/o cruise, only took 2yrs :eek:.
