Thanks!

Most of Saturday was spent prepping the engine bay and then a couple hours sand blasting the k member and some other misc brackets. This morning  I hung up the blasted parts, masked up for paint, and did a little seam sealing. This afternoon did some spraying. 

Ready to go.


Etch primer

Thanks. Stoked for sure. It’s going to be awhile before anymore sheet metal gets color. The plan is to get the drive train in and get her moving under her own power for a change.

Thanks guys.

Thursday night  was able to get the engine/trans/kmember assy bolted in. Friday started getting wiring and things cleaned up and installed. Getting to the point I need to get more stuff painted up before I can go much further.

I still wish it were Vermilion red...for my own reasons.

That paint laid down so  nicely.

Did you get an NOS washer tank? That has to be the nicest washer tank I've ever seen.
It's Gumby's fault.

That is indeed a NOS washer tank.

In the process of trying to get the 03 mustang gauges in the bird dash I hacked a bit too much and pretty much destroyed it. That was the main reason for the purchase of the parts car though it’s been useful a couple times already. This weekend I got the parts car pushed in and de-dashed, cleaned up and repaired the wiring from the misadventures of my youth, and swapped it over.
