67 Fastback - Project Dalamar

[capjr]

WOW ,firewall and tunnel look almost made to swap, Nice job Gonna have a very cool ride when finished !!!!!

[Dalamar]

Thank you capjr!



Today we got the firewall mostly welded off.






Test fit the dash - Looks pretty good... we raised it up for a little more leg room
first install/adjustment of many

The ends of the dash are a little wide, and we're going to have to do something about that.

Hey man, nice project. I like the late model interior a lot. Here is a front end idea for you. It is from the Obsidian Mustang. It is a blended '05 grill and lights and bumper. Looks sweet on the fastback.

I didn't know you were on here Dalamar? I've been visiting this site since it was a .news.subscription

[Dalamar]

Thanks Young, that is pretty nice looking. I have an idea on the front of this thing, we'll see if it works out.
I do really like the Obsidian's rear cover/tail light cover.

Been busy with other projects, but did get a nice GAS CAP for this thing.

Do you know how you're going to narrow the dash?

[Dalamar]

Do you know how you're going to narrow the dash?

My plan of attack is to get the doors on and see if I can hollow out a section on the inside panel to clear the dash ends. if there's not enough space, we'll have to get out the samuri sword!

Thats exactly what Im having to do on my Maverick to clear the ends of the Stang dash. Your Stang should be a little wider than a Maverick so you should have enough space.

[ATOMonkey]

I was going to suggest that if you wanted to get really fancy, you could make a fiberglass mold of the dash, narrow your mold, and make a custom narrow dash that will fit in the car.

(that beutel tape/tar stuff is tough stuff)

If you want to remove that tar easily, go to your local dry ice dealer and buy some dry ice sheets. Lay the sheets on the tar. Let it freeze the tar. Move the ice to another spot and smack the tar with a hammer. It will shatter and come right off the metal. Be careful with the dry ice. You can't hold it with your bare hands...using pliers is a good idea. Read up on handling it safely.

[Dalamar]

That would have been great to know before we did that! thanks for the suggestion, I kinda want to try it jus to see how it works.

Spring/summer -- I'm busy.
it's been a few months, but I messed with the car a little today.
few more shots.


Got the right sized studs pressed in and the adapter installed with red loctite.










And don't forget my $75 soda blasted cup holder!!
