Sunshine would be nice but it looks GOOD!

yea it was unfortunatly in low low 60s today and overcast after i dragged it out into the driveway was afraid it was going to start downpouring.

If he could make the sun shine on command, I will be REALLY impressed!

The car looks great, I really like the color.

Looks good. What color vinyl top you gonna use?

Looks to be the same hood and decklid setup I have on my '65. How'd they fit up for you?

lol yea i wish i could get sunshine on command we would have it 16 hours a day lol. the hood i had made here locally and fits awsome and when it is done he gets to use my car for his web site and then i get the first hood in production that he makes for a 66 hehe trying to get him to do a teardrop next. the trunk lid is a mustang plus piece . i made mine so that i can take the quarter extensions off . the end caps fit like crap and took tons of work to get them to fit correctly. i am going back with the black vinyl top i am building the car so that at some point my boy decides he wants it or i sell it then if the new owner wants to go back stock it will be fairly easy.

here are pics of some of the interior that will be going in the car .

seats are scat pro elites if i remember correctly .

rear seat is original that i had redone to match my fronts.

shelby bullet style mirrors.

here are my valve covers i feel they where a pretty good score.

Sounds like a good plan. I think the hood your guy made may have a bit more angular shape than the maeir racing one I have. Mine fit like crap, damned near had to rebuild the whole thing to get it to fit somewhat, it was all I could find in '96 when I bought it though........ I had to do some serious work to my endcaps too,, and smoothed out the visible raw glass on the underside of the decklid.

I think we share a similar theme w/ the resto.

your stang looks awsome bloverby. yea i am not as big into the stockers anymore well unless it is a shelby or something rare. do you ever go to maggie valley 4th of july weekend for the ford swap meet ? i havent made it yet but i have heard they have a awsome turn out for 30s-70s ford parts and projects.
