Thread: 1967 Mustang Coupe build

Tweet

I did the engine compartment first . I replaced the rear aprons and the right front where the battery sits .





Big issue with this type of shock tower and frame , is the build up of dirt and crud . The outer side of shock tower and to outer edge of frame it makes a pocket . It's about 1 inch deep by a few wide . It will cause drastic rot in the shock towers in most Mustangs . I was lucky and since this was garaged a lot it was clean and solid .



A lot of cleaning and sanding I finally got it to red oxide .



Needed to add this one in this line .

Next one to tackle was the floors . I could have just done the fronts it was the only rust after years of salt . The floors come complete one piece front , just of the toe kick to the back where under the rear seat starts . As I mentioned prices of sheet metal are so cheap it is not worth patching them .

Fitting in a toe panel


This is what a full floor side looks like when in its place . Helps make a guarantee for a solid foundation when doing a mustang . You see in the floor support and can coat and prevent any rust
in the future .

When I trimmed the panel for fit , you will notice I left the seat belt bolting area and went around it . I know it will keep the original strength in the floor at that point . Plus I don't have to worry about replacing the nut .



I replaced the front floor supports





I brushed the vari prime on

Mike is is really farther along then I think LOL . Not to much to do thats why im am getting back on it solid . Well that and the new one coming in soon .
