Really nice work!

Thanks. It is turning out pretty good so far. Still a long way to go but I can envision the finish from here.

Great looking build. It definitely give me some good ideas for my 65 Coupe project. What vehicle applicaiton did you use for the roll cage?

it’s a Rhodes 12 point cage for the 65-66 Mustang.

That's great. I had contacted them to see how the fitment was in these cars and they didn't have any pictures or info really. I was hesitant to order it without see some sort of pictures on the fit. I'd have to say it looks good and I will be ordering one before long. Thanks again.

You’re welcome. I was really happy with it. It fit well and seems to be really well built.

I built a little kick out on the rear valance to clear my fuel hose fittings.

Making the underside and engine bay a different color than the outside turned out to be much more difficult than anticipated.

[Threepointtwo]

The front suspension is going on. I set the initial caster (3°) and camber (0°) after lots of fiddling around.

[Threepointtwo]

The front suspension is on and the sway bar has been mounted. The steering rack is also in place.

Got the underside of the hood finished up and painted so I could try out another color on the top. I am going to shoot it with Destroyer gray and white pearl ghost stripes.

I painted the top of the hood with my new paint scheme. It turned out pretty good.

I finally got back to finishing up the rear bumper. It wasn’t even on the back and sat up too high off the rear valance.

[Threepointtwo]

Ok, I welded the rear valance in place and cleaned up the rear bumper a bit.

[Threepointtwo]

I got some new parts so it’s time to get back to work. First up, mount the radiator.

[Threepointtwo]

Now the intercooler.

[Y-TRY]

Looking good!

How much space are you leaving between the cooler and radiator?

If you painted the cooler, what paint did you use? I like the black much better.

[Threepointtwo]

Thank you. I have 2” between the two simply because one sits in front and one behind The 2” thick frame rail. That will be where I mount the AC condenser.

I bought the intercooler already anodized black. I like that look as well. I am trying to hide it somewhat in the grill area. Not sure if I will be successful but I don’t want it to stand out.

Thank you. I have gotten so much good info following build threads on this forum so it really makes me feel good that others find value in what I am doing.
