Project Evolution *** Project Complete **** Wednesday July 9, 2014 Reply #679 – December 08, 2008, 06:35:01 PM Today I decided to rebuild the trunk lid.Drilled out the old rivets and yanked it off.Did a little measuring, and did some cuttingThen a little fittingThen a little more fittingAnd this is what we end up withCurve and allNext is to rebuild the inside again. I hope for the last timeBefore I redo the inside, I'll cut the outer panel and put a backing strip on so the replacement skin is in the correct place to match up. When I replace the inside, the panel should both line up with the outer one. We'll see how that goes. LOLThat's it for today. Quote Selected

Project Evolution *** Project Complete **** Wednesday July 9, 2014 Reply #681 – December 08, 2008, 07:31:24 PM Just a thought but on the passenger side you may want to make the tank bracket smaller if you're going to run 2.5" dual exhaust under the car. The top of the passenger side tail pipe will hit it if you use any of the pre bent Mustang tail pipes. Trust me I know Quote Selected

Trust me I know Not sure about the smaller part, as I don't know where it would actually hit without having the pipes installed.I'll deal with that problem as it comes. I also know where to get a 2 1/2" pipe bender just in case.QuoteDerikWayneYou realize that when you're finished with this car, you would have touched every single inch of it!;)I'm sure there must be some part that I won't touch.I cut some parts off the trunk todayOh well, I guess I've seen worse. This pretty much said it all. But on the lighter side of today.I ended up making a pattern of my SFCs to send to someone, so they can copy them for their car.It's got to be the strangest thing I've ever made in all my 25 years in building.Looks like SFCs for a stagecoach.

Project Evolution *** Project Complete **** Wednesday July 9, 2014 Reply #687 – December 10, 2008, 05:06:02 AM I have a friend with 2 87 cougars. One is a two tone blue v-6 with a good trunk lid. He is going to have to get rid of them by the end of the year. I'll bet I could get you a pretty good deal on them. I'll be going to his house this weekend, and I could get a couple of pics for you then. Quote Selected

I'm kinda in a bad area to get too, seeing that I'm right between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario with Canada on another side only 7 min. away.You could see about a price to 14072, But I may have it finished by the weekend.
