The passenger side full length floor pan is basically in place. I still need to weld it to the rear torque box and finish welding the gaps left from cutting it. It’s also butt welded in place so that it looks a little cleaner from underneath. I tacked the ...
read moreEngine bay and firewall paint
I went ahead and finished up the main patches for the engine bay (another one on the shock tower and one on the very front of the frame rail) and repainted it. I didn’t make it perfect because I’ll need to redo it whenever I take care of ...
read morePS toe board
I also got the passenger side toe board installed awhile ago. It didn’t fit well at all, at least on my car. The bend on the top right edge was completely off, and apparently my side cowl panel or something is off on my car. The panel wouldn’t ...
read morePS floor support and random
Alright since WordPress doesn’t seem keen on lining up too many pictures in a single regular post, I’ll be splitting them up. Most of these are pretty random as I’ve been jumping around a fair bit lately.
Here’s a shot of the inside of the cowl ...
read morePS rear torque box, again
I finally got the passenger side rear torque box in place a few days ago. I’m not entirely happy with the fit, but it will have to do. The leaf spring front eye mount is in the same location as before, so it should be ok. In the process ...
read moreEngine, PS rear torque box
I haven’t been doing a whole lot all that picture worthy lately, just a few things. Due to some sort of city codes, I can only have the car on jack stands when I’m outside with it (no leaving it overnight on them) or on the weekends. That ...

Bracing:
Since I’m doing the full-length floor pans on both sides, I figured it’d be good to put some bracing in the car to help keep everything in place and lined up while it’s cut up. I made door braces using just flat stock; I think it ...
read moreA stronger transmission
The original transmission in the Mustang was the 2.77 3-speed with an unsynchronized first gear. It’s held up so far, but the general consensus seems to be that it’s a weak transmission. Since I’m hopefully going to have a little more power than stock, I figured ...
read moreThe old metal
Here’s a few pictures of the old floors, torque boxes, and rear frame rails. The first picture is of the new metal that will be going back in—I haven’t bought the rear torque boxes yet, so that’s just the full-length floor pans, toe boards, seat pans ...

Guess I have a blog now for the progress on my Mustang. :) I’ll try to use this to keep track of progress, though that means I need to remember to take pictures…
Anyway, right now the engine is still at the shop; it’s supposed to be done sometime ...
