51 Ford pickup

Most people enjoy new parts. Here is a box with rubber parts, the front bed panel and the rear sill for the box. The other pic shows that I did clean up some mess.

Nice progress, it looks good.

This morning I tried to sand out the excrement in the paint and buff. It didn't work. More sanding and spraying to come. Window regulators arrived.

That would suck having to redo because of that.

The wiper motor arrived yesterday. This evening I was able to wet sand most of the cab outside before it got dark. It won't be warm enough to do that again for a while. I hope the project god smiles on me this weekend!

I've had quite a day. For a change, I got more done than I expected. I finished sanding all the parts. I had to reshoot the white to cover up the excrement in the paint. Then I shot 2 coats of clear over it. My new friend, the fly came to visit. He didn't stay long but it's in the last coat and will be easy to remove. It's not great but it's better than it was.

Looking good!

Bugs seem to be attracted to paint products. LOL Thankfully we have sand paper and buffing products!

I media blasted the outside of the rear fenders and epoxy primed them today. They are one big bent piece! It's about to turn into winter so things will slow down about to a standstill.

I looked for months for good Mustang seats with no success. I bought a pair of 2013 Doge Dart seats. These are black with a few small stains but no damage. The pic is poor in color and size.

I installed the door handles and the key lock today. I put epoxy primer on the original running boards so they could be stored outside. Then I color sanded and buffed. It's not good but it's better than it was.

Cowl vent, wipers and the evaporator are in place. I spent another hour adjusting door hinges again. The reason the evaporator is so far away from the kick panel is that's where the ecu is going. The factory Mustang harness has it on that side.

[wfo guy]

Little bit of progress. Doesn't reflect on how much time I spent. I redid the bracket that holds the evaporator. When I cut the hole for the hose for the center vent, it was too weak to do as intended. I made a thicker bracket and have things where I believe they will allow the wiring harness and gauge cluster to cooperate. The back glass is in. I put Thermo-tec on the back and the top of the cab.

It's been a hell of a day to get to post this pic.

[wfo guy]

Lots of hours, not much progress.

The bed frame is on and holes drilled.

[Gojeep]

Progress is still progress. Happens that a lot of time is spent in different stages and you wonder what you actually got done!

[Motown 454]

I agree with Gojeep it's move along that's always good.

Yesterday I sanded and painted a new pair of wheels for the rear. If someone knows of an exact match for American Racing gray, I'd like to know about it. Today I removed the power window, power door lock and the convertible top wiring from the harness. I retained the feed from the power supply to connect to my new harness connections.

[wfo guy]

You like patina? I have patina! No painting till next summer! Tiny bit of progress.

Looks awesome! I wish I could get all my Wife's projects done, so I could spend some time in the garage, at least I get to enjoy your project.
