That's a very large step. It looks like you guy were having a blast. When did the beer break out?

That will be fun to drive. Good work.

I appreciate all the kudo's.  Working on the front floor/toe boards right now.  removing the old ones and waiting for my order from EMS to come in.  Lots of holes in the firewall which need to be welded up as well.

Quick up date.....while waiting for the front floors to come in I started prepping the firewall to weld up all the holes. Also cleaned up the front fenders and grill shell with a 1:1 ratio of CLR to water.  Going on a month waiting for my floors to come in from EMS.  Getting the run around pretty good from these clowns.

Update......I dont know which was more tedious.....drilling out all the rivets in the frame or filling in 50+ holes in the firewall.



Still need to shoot a base coat of primer on it here soon.

Scored a mint set of original early mustang buckets at a spring swap meet here in Connecticut this past Spring.  Had some 3/16 "C" channel bent up and got those mounted.



Now I'm moving onto a whole group of things somewhat at the same time.....cause you kinda have to.....toe boards, steering, pedals, e-brake, exhaust.....



It's really starting to get fun now!!!

Your seats look great just the right size.  I'm  thinking about what type of bucket seats to put in my 32. What I would really like to find is a set of four matching and put a small console from front to back. I'm just not sure if that would be practicable.

Looks like you are moving right along. The floorboards look great.

Thanks All.......floors are just laying in position right now.  I'm throwing the motor/trans back in on Saturday Morning to see if I need a tunnel or not on the center section.  Then I'll start plug welding the floors and get the glove box section back into the dash now that I have repaired it.

Threw the motor/trans back in and started working on the parking brake and steering.  I made a bracket which bolts to my T5 which allows me to bolt my OEM parking brake handle too.







Bought a Speedway steering column and a mount from ididit. which still allowed me to use the pedal access panel.





Got sick of looking at the glove box patch today and started welding that in.....but no pics
