Yea I wish lol

This is great! Love seeing someone build it from the ground up! I agree with everyone else... Do the longtubes now! You can't get any easier and normally they are a PITA to do. Otherwise this is great!!!

Sorry I haven't got pics up sooner, I got some more work done to the car, in the process of getting everything fitted to get welded up.

Sorry for the late updates been very busy, I ended up buying a GT500 hood and rear bumper for the car. I also found a GT500 spoiler in work but not sure if Im gonna use it I might just go with the spoiler delete. I got the front end welded on and painted. I started putting it back together too but I have to take more pics.

For the primer I used a PPG DP40LF epoxy and used it as a sealer, it was the closest color I could get to the factory green primer.

Looks great.

Car has come a long way. Way to go!

Thanks guys!

Awesome project.From a fellow mustang owner,really nice to see it fixed right and saved.Will look sweet when its done.

Sorry guys I been gone for a while, I been so busy with work and life I been behind schedule on the Mustang. Its still not done but it is getting close I got all the body work done on the car besides the trunk I still got to weld up the holes for the spoiler and for the fake gas cap, I decided to get rid of it. Ill get some pics up asap.

10 years later... Im upset I didnt keep up with this thread and my progress. The car did get finished with the GT500 front end conversion and ended up doing a full respray on the car, it was beautiful . I didnt own it for to much longer I traded it for a 1993 Cobra with a built 347 stroker, c4 61mm turbo. Car was wicked!! I also Didn't own that one for longer then a year after, and regretfully sold. A couple months later in 2016 I bought my 2008 GT500 which i still have to this day.
