Thank you in
advance for looking. I did make some subtle changes to the body that I hope you
will enjoy. First and foremost I went with a solid cowl under the windshield
(somewhat of a modern touch); secondly I removed the stock gas filler location.
In my opinion the size of the gas cap and the location, did not give the car
that sporty aggressive. My intention was to build a fuel cell modified for fuel
injection to mount in the spare tire compartment, but of course there are other
options. This car was being built as a driver and is not perfect.
This body
style (as you know) is the most popular body style for this car and is a head
turner in any condition (I get looks when it is on the trailer, lol). This car
looks to have originally been an inline 6 cyl with a manual trans. Original
paint color is Gold as was the interior.
The Good
The car is
currently in a 2-part/sandable primer ready for final paint prep. All rust
patches (no sorry this is not the numbers matching barn find that has never
seen a little weather) and body panel replacement has been done. The floors and
the trunk floor have all been replaced with new metal. The toe boards were
repaired and in my opinion could use a little attention (couple more welds and
some sealer). The car has a Heidts mustang II front suspension kit on it with
the dropped spindles, GM disc brakes and is sitting pretty. The front clip is
used, my goal was to powder coat it again and replace the bushings. The rear of
the car is equipped with a brand new TCI 4link set up with adjustable coil over
shocks. The kit includes the transmission loop, cross member and sub-frame
connectors. The 4 link is attached to a narrowed GM 12 bolt rear end. The rear
end needs a new differential unit, I do have a set of Strange 3.73 gears that
will be included, and there are Moser axles currently installed. Along with the
narrowed rear-end, the inner rear wheel tubs have been relocated out to the
rear frame rails to allow a more modern 10+ inch wide wheel. The original core
support was replaced (the new one is in the car but not completely bolted
together). The car will come with front inner fender panels (need to be
properly fitted) as well as a steel 2-inch cowl hood. I have all of the trim I
received with the car though some of it needs to be worked a little. The car is
equipped with a 5.3 LS truck motor and 4L60E transmission. Motor and trans are
a junkyard find 150, 000 unverified miles which I bought to get the car going with plans on building a
performance motor.
The Bad
The main
concern I had before starting the build was the roof looks like it was replaced
at some point. After having it looked over by a few people (including the body
man that replaced the original quarters with new Full Quarters) we continued
with all necessary panel replacement. The passenger side front fender toward
the windshield in the inside next to the hood is a couple millimeters off. I
had a repair done and it does not line up perfectly. This can be off-set with a
little work on adjusting the hood and fender, but to be perfect may need
further attention or replacement. All brake and fuel lines have been removed as
I was going to replace with brand new lines and fittings. The electrical has
all been removed; the car will come with a new 18 circuit aftermarket wiring
harness.
The Ugly
The
fabricator that widened the rear wheel tubs did not use the method I had
planned and left a recessed channel between the two original pieces. This was
not a big deal to me as I planned on dressing up the trunk, likely with a nice carpet
kit. The guy that completed the body work laid some unattractive welds in the
windshield channel, but of course these will not be seen once the windshield is
installed.
Its been a few years since the car was disassembled but this should be accurate
