My wife's old car. '66 Mustang

Hi all
I have had a break from the monster i have created for a few months but like all addictions it keeps calling me back.
I could send it to a good friends body shop and get it finished but where is the fun in that.



Anyway, it is time to make a push and see if i can't get this car int epoxy primer by Christmas.

Next on the list was a part that has been bothering me since we removed them to remove the roof, the drip rails.
The drips rails for the coupe are no longer available and as mine were rotten and i wanted to remove the roof mine had to go. I am not a fan of the smooth rounded look but if i couldn't solve the problem then that is how it would be.
I got a local sheet metal shop the bend a few different profiles until i was happy with one that i thought would work and offered it up to the car.
I have to say that i am pleased with the results and once it is primed and sealed it will look even better. The stainless mould fit on really well and you cant even see the fabricated drip rail.

The rear of the sail panel gets a little tight but i think only the connoisseurs among us will notice.
