Looks great, Is it weird that I'm impressed with how tight you got the plastic sheets? haha

[rusty428cj]

The undercarriage was sprayed with Lizard Skin and the next day I sprayed a couple coats of SPI black epoxy

You fellas sure do top shelf work !!

Hi Rusty, love yours and Brian’s work in fact one of your builds inspired me to remove the roof on my 67 coupe to check for rust. Glad I did.
It’s about time to refill the sail panel joint and I was wondering if you guys re lead them or just use filler?
Filler has come a long way since 1967 and obviously easier to use.

I'm glad I could help. Brian welds a patch panel over the joint so we don't have to use as much filler.

Dynamat





Changed the wheels





Power windows



Painted the bumper and lined up



Test fitting the battery and radiator



Test fitting the Mustang to Fear console



Amp mounted under the package tray



We could not find a power brake booster that would clear the hydraulic clutch master cylinder so we went with the Hydratech Braking System.



We still could not get the hydraulic clutch master cylinder to clear but found one from Modern Drive line that clears. Talked to Hydratech and they said have never had a problem but there was no way it would clear on our car. Looked at a couple of other 65 - 66 Mustangs in the shop and found that the aftermarket firewall on our project was not the same as the original one and that was our problem.





It's a tight fit but clears

Wow nice wok guys.

[wfo guy]

Every change may have a surprise. Looking good, guys.

[Bossed]

Car is going to look amazing when finished. Great job !!

[Crestronwizard]

Great progress!

[rusty428cj]

I fabricated the brake lines.







Almost ready to install the engine



The 347 engine was started on a test stand with a carburetor to check for any leaks or problems



Installing the engine



We still have to install the transmission



Holley Sniper EFI and JBA headers. The plug wires will be changed to black Ford Racing

I like the red plug wires. It's always nice to have a pop of color in the engine bay. If you make everything just shades of black, white, gray, and shiny, it becomes monotone and a little boring.

Is this your 1st sniper install? I'm curious if there's any reasons to buy that versus the Fitech. Cars looking real nice.

Hi Rusty. Love the work you do.
Hoping you could give me a little advice .
Have replace the quarters on my 67 Coupe and am wondering what to fill the seam with. Do you lead wipe them again as per the original style or use a filler material. If so what’s the best material to use.
Also does Brian fully weld the qtr seam or jus plug it.
Any advice would be a help
Thanks
Craig.
