OK, so I got off my arse & got a couple photos. the show is tomorrow, so understandably I have been somewhat busy with things. I spent WAY to much time removing someones sad excuse for a bondo job from the rear apron and resurfacing the apron. It was prety mangles so it took a few applications to get it flat, but it's dont properly, not like the previous job. Some schmuck slathered on what looked like an entire can of Bondo & sanded it smotth,... I always thought it weighed too much!

Anyway, I also refinished the frenched tail lights to smooth out the blemishes there, and finished up the fillers in the deck lid frame.


And got both sides of the rear cabin frame done and filled in the low spots as well. Still gonna need some loving before I do the final paint job, but thats some ways off yet. At least it looks better!


Here you can see the Mustang steering box with the fresh powder coating by the freindly folks at Skagit Powder Coating (shameless plug) with a grey hammertone like the axle, along with the steering linkage and if you look at the blocks supporting the fuel tank I had those done as well.
2nd shot is of the headlights, and altho out of focus, the mounting bar I fabbed was also coated to match the axle. The Dietz style headlight buckets look good, but the chrome is crap, so I had them powder coated with a black wrinkle finish. They look sweet, I believe it was a good choice.



Here was todays project, looking at the photo you can see the 4-link mounts I made for the front axle, I simply made it to slide into the lower frame channel & bolt on. The first models were temporary & pretty ugly. Altho they held up for over 2 years, cant complain. The newer ones are stronger, go further back for stability, and I finished the ends by closing them up topped with the grey hammertone powder coating.
