Looks awesome Rusty. Not a Ford guy myself, but you've got a sweet pony there.

I did get one small part added last week when the gas cap came in.

I saw that in the grocery store yesterday and said...that's Rusty's Car! I thought they would get an awesome 65 FB in the picture too though!

Maybe next month when they show the suspension build on their project car. You car was in the background of a lot of pictures I sent Steve.

I sanded with 320 than epoxy primed white

Steve Baur the editor of Modified Mustangs & Fords Magazine asked if I would give 20 tips on how to do a paint job and wanted me to paint the Coupe for a future bodywork issue.

I have the doors and fenders painted





I epoxy primed the body yesterday with SPI white and today we are wet sanding getting ready for paint.

Looks real good. your making steady progress. I am building a 67 Fastback and thinking about adding coilover suspension front and rear. Just curious what your thoughts are on the coilover kit you installed in the back on your project? I think that kit is about the only real bolt in kit for a 67. I wonder if it will gain me enough clearance compared to the leaf spring rear for me to think about adding mini tubs.

It is a bolt in but we welded it in place. It will give you a little more clearance. You will have to modify the frame rail if you mini tub.

Wow, can't wait to see how it looks when you put it all together!

[CruizinKev]

[FRENCHBLUE72]
