 Hi Bill

I have just posted some updates to the misc forums. If you would like
to see comments and photos follow the following links... The project
is comming along nicely.

We have photos of the trial fit of the dash.

How do you like the look of the 03 dash in the 65 fastback? I think it
looks right at home there.

 Hi Bill,

We are shooting for the "big un-veiling" at this years Hot Rod Power
Tour. We should have the car on the road in May and tuned up & ready
to go on the first leg of the week long PT on June 4th.

Maybe we will see you there.

For a better choice than HP, check out the threads on the following

I've been following this in the forums for a while now. This project
has got to be one of the best if not _the_ best I've seen in years.

Bob, best of luck - can't wait to see the finished project.

 True, but you could chip the paint driving it across town too! Have
you thought about using the 3M or other brands of paint protection
film? The other alternative would be to rent an autohauler...

As far as the color I'd paint it whatever color YOU want. My auto body
guy thought I was NUTS to paint my '64.5 Vintage Burgandy, but it's my
car and I think it came out looking great!

 Hi All,

Anyone out there know where I can find the driver and passenger side SS
channels that retain the window gaskets. These do not appear to be
available through any aftermarket supplier.

HELP!!!

Have you tried any of the 'mustang only' salvage yards out west? I can't
think of any off the top of my head, but someone here should know a decent
one. I would guess they would have these parts in good condition.

 Hi All,

I thought I would try posting a project update here and see if you
would like me to continue doing so.....

I spent yesterday struggling with the hood hinge issue. The new hinges
we ordered would have solved our problems if they fit, but they were so
large that I would have had to cut down into the lower cowl (into the
passenger compartment) to get them to fit. Well, that was not going to
happen, so I drew up some ideas on how we could modify the 03 cobra
hinges and ran them past Wayne. After resolving a few issues with the
design, I asked Wayne if I could do all the fab work. He said "There
are plenty of other things I need to do, so go for it".

Here are the photos. I had to section the hinge, add 1 1/2" of 10 gage
and shape the section into a gooseneck to clear the cowl when the hood
opens. I think they came out great.

Today, I can fab the brackets for mounting the hood and re-align the
front end so that we can complete fabrication on the chassis this
weekend.

WoHoo!!!

Catch you all later.

 Hi All,

We came close, but did not completely finish the front aprons this past
weekend. We were having trouble with the front end dimensions and
gaps. We finally got them as close as physically possible (nice
consistent gaps, dim's within 1/4"). But to achieve that we had to
assemble and disassemble the front end about 7 times. Each time we
would resolve one issue and have another rear its ugly head.

We still have to position and weld the cowl in place, but that is
something that we can accomplish in an afternoon.

Also, we contacted the media blaster and he cannot fit us into the
schedule until early next week. That being the case, we will continue
with finer and finer detail work. For example, we are working on the
brackets for mounting the trunk latch. You will notice that we have
reversed the typical trunk config and mounted the latch on the car and
the striker will mount on the lid.

http://www.horsepow­ered.com/forums/atta­chment.php?attachmen­tid=2105

We will continue to work on brackets, and fitting up different pieces
until the blaster is ready for us.

Time to get back to work.

Looks like the way it's done on mavericks. If you run into problems
maverick parts might help.

 Hi All,

Today, Wayne fabed up the side gas filler door. He had to trial fit the
gas tank and the filler neck to get an accurate location. He marked the
location of the plastic inner housing on the quarter. He removed the
filler neck and the gas tank. He located the center point of the gas
door, and drilled the center hole from the inside.

When he walked around to the outside of the car, he noticed that the
hole he drilled was within 1/8" of the "X" I drew on the car marking
the door location. I told him to trust me next time and he wouldn't
have to go through so much work. :-)­

Anyway, this is going to be so cool. Wayne ground smooth and flanged
the rough cut opening so that the 03 door mounting ring (the part we
cut off the Cobra) sits flush with the 65 quarter panel.

What time is the g-2-g? I think I remember reading one of your posts in
