      Killin it man. Motors looking great!

      MSTSFabbed. I liked the way the cap looked on his 69 and really liked not having to worry about where to set a cap when filling up or letting it hang down against my painted bumper from a cable. Tanks sells a nice product and I will be using their 22 gallon EFI tank as well. The Scott Drake Challenger cap looks nice and is a good piece but the base isn't flat. It's concave and its the opposite direction of the 67-69 Mustang tail panel. If you have more room the same version of the cap is offered for a Jeep but it is much larger. I used the challenger cap and machined the mounting base flat to work for my 70.
      Ha! We're exactly on the same page. I was looking at the Jeep version thinking the flat would help me out, but hadn't considered it being bigger or interference with the trunk key hole, which I'd prefer to keep if possible. I'll look closer at the ODs, thanks for the tip!
      I'm right with you, I've got a perfect arced scrape in my painted bumper from my dumb stock cabled cap rubbing!

      MTSFabbed: Thanks again! Glad I could help. That was the reason for the build thread.

      I have spent a lot of time shaving and cleaning up items from the body but being that the car is a Mach 1 I wanted to keep a few elements the car would have originally had. The first time around I didn't have hood pins but I decided to add them this time. The original Mach 1 twist lock pins are a bit large and chrome so I wanted to look for something a touch smaller and that had a better design to work with my painted theme. I decided I didn't want pins with cables or removable pins because they are a pain when not in use with the hood up. I decided to adapt the 68 Shelby GT500 KR hood pins to work on my 70. I will most likely paint them The gray stripe color.

      This looks great. How much did you add below the rocker, quarter and fender? I am thinking about doing it on my falcon.

      This is the basic shape and size I used. It was tweaked slightly when I made the piece full length. The rockers and fender portions are the same just finished a little different at the ends. The quarter extensions were slimmer and I had to taper them as I got to the rear so it didn't look funny from behind.

      Here is an example of what it will look like once finished. I used the same dimensions for this 69 GT I did a while back.

      Its been a little while since I last posted but things are still moving. A combination of some end of summer long weekend vacations, working on another project along side mine, and working on buying a new house have slowed things just a bit. Our shop is full to the brim with customer cars so I am borrowing some shop space from the guy who I built the red 69 for and as I use his shop to work on mine I am also helping him on another 69 build he has going. The new house I'm currently working on will have a shop on it so I have a place for the toys and to work on them!

      Here is a pic of the other 69 I am helping with along side my 70 in my spare time.

      I am getting closer to being ready to prime the car. There is some fine tuning to do but the bulk of the filler work and blocking are done until primer. I took a fair amount of time working dents and had a friend come in for some PDR stuff but a little filler was needed to get it where I wanted. The car will be a driver but I still want to be proud of the work and have it do our shop justice when it's out and about.
