Your crazy. Your going to Hell ! You just destroyed that Mustang! If Ford finds out what you have done its all over for you. Put the steering wheel back or else! :cry:

Watching this with interest! Thinking of doing the same thing... That is after I cut out the rust!
If you have pics I'd love to see them and any hints or tricks. I've never done anything like this before so any info appreciated.
