Glad to see its coming along, that is so aWesome too that your wife helps out. What I would give to find a women like that!!! I can't wait to check out the finished product.

Holy cow ... First steal all your Dad's parts, then put the wife to work cutting and grinding ... You got a handbook or some more of the magic beans that gets all this done?

LOL, when wifey helps me it usually ends with us not talking for a while ;) Good deal Lou

I should bottle it and sell it, just gota figure out how to get it in there, LOL.

Not much progress on the work of the actual car but I have been a junk yarding fool. I have picked up a rust free rad support, fenders, front and rear bumpers with no holes or impact strips, perfect deck lid, zephur horizontal tail lights, mint dash pad, manual transmission guage bezel, interior quarter trim panels with no dry flaking spots, four eyed headlight buckets, rh rust free door, and a ton of other cool stuff. Also got a ton of NOS parts off ebay for a steal.

i just got a better look at the pictures in this thread, i never realized how different this car is than newer fox bodys. i never knew they had a e brake pedal and the dash mounts are way different from what im used to seeing

[Sonic03snake]

Well, the rad support is now welded to the car and I have welded up all the holes not needed. The more I look at this car the more I like it. They weigh 2800 LBS fully equipt with a V8. Every panel on this car is full of holes, no wonder they don't weigh much. next, im going to remove the plate the brake booster attaches to and install the 94 - 04 plate with the new style column shaft with the bearing to help with header clearance issues when mod motors are put in fox cars. I also just ordered the ScottRod front apron panels for it.

Dash is the same as 79 - 86 Mustang.

Got a little bit more done tonight, I removed the old firewall plate in preparation for the swap to the new 94 - 04 plate. It kicked my ass, a few hours of drilling, prying, and plasma cutting just to get it off.

On a good note, my ScottRod panels showed up today. They look sweet.

Very nice. But dont I remember you saying you were not going to get carried away with the engine bay? HAHAHAHAHHA

[jaa55]

what are you going to use the sn95 dash???
I see the heater box comes out of the firwall different than the newer ones....i put a sn95 box in mine so i could get A/C back in the car (the evap was alot larger than the one in the fox box) I had to do alot of modifying where the heater box meets the dash the sn95 box was at an angle.......i wish i would have took pictures!!

[Sonic03snake]

Using the stock dash. I really hate all the A/C crap clutter under the hood. Im just going to clean and install a new heater core.
