This shot shows the drop offs in place and the inner guard repairs, as well as the tacked in outer wheelhouse patch. I found this all very fidly, as its difficult to be sure everything is going back in exactly the correct place, as there are several peices that all come together here.

pressure is on now, time to hit the 1/4. fairly pleased with the results. with a bit more dolly work, and some filler it will be fine (thats what im telling myself anyway)

This took so long to fit up, but its porbaby the best fit i have done. Have learnt to take several cuts before getting to the last one, as things move around a little as the fit gets better.

Thats it for now, hope you enjoy the pics

NICE WORK!

FANTSTIC.....tell us about the color? Original 68 color?

[bkmont]

Love that lift!

[Gtozy]

the colour is Ruby Red, you may see it on current Mustangs. i wasnt to keen on the idea of a ford colour, but it really pops. It uses a red metallic base coat, tinted clear, then high solid clear. very pleased with it. car was originally Mayfair Maize.

Like everything else, yep. The biggest challenge was to get the angles correct so it bolted up snug, so the long sides change angle a few degrees to allow for that. they worked a treat, glad you liked em.

So its been a while since updates, im still on the body work, so i thought i would share some detail on the process. Both doors needed new skins and a bit of work to the frames themselves. very fiddly, but im pleased with the result.
