Scott,

You mst be having a FN ball doin this. I just read it from the beggining.
Fanastic thread mate...very informative. Im lovin all your fabrication..I just love that sort of stuff.
As for the clear indicator in the centre...its well worth the time making two spacer panels and fitting 2 more globes...I think the clear one in the centre looks TRICK...onthe outside i just looks outa place...just my 2c

Great job mate.

Really looking forward to your front end conversion with ya new rack

Thanks Matt , im enjoying it . But next time im springing the $1500-$2000 for soda blasting the whole car. I spent the whole of today 8-9 hours solid , paint stripping just the inside boot area with scraper and steel wool , and thats without doing the boot lid and LH boot floor which i am replacing with a new section. So many layers of paint! I only have the inside boot lid and the whole bonnet to strip now , its wasting good panel beating time.
I will be going for the clear lens in the middle , its very 60-70s style like the XR-XY falcons , and i already have the 3 globes each side coz it has the Fairlane wiring harness and will put dividing plates in.

Scott, you've been a busy, the progress looks great:(
Catch up soon

TimR67 · « **Reply #109 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:24:06 am »

Looking good Scott, we have cyber met on another forum, this forum seems to be the place to be. I'll be picking your brains in regards to the EB EFI engine install soon. Just one question, what did you do to your engine mounts, you swapped them from left to right but did you modify them at all to move the engine forward a bit?

Cheers, Tim

Cheers, Thanks for that

nice work scott. love the integration of the fairline parts to the mustang. cant wait to see the engine bay all sorted out.

ill be going similar path to you with mine. just lucky with mine they wont be any rust repairs but still lot of moding and cutting to fit what i want.

ChilliChadd · « **Reply #113 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:02:21 pm »

Any updates mate?

scott66stang · « **Reply #114 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:43:52 pm »

Yeah! i got an update , im sick and tired of working on all 3 daughters cars.

mainly the bloomin Commadore , and the Celica is really Sh..tn me atm . Funny enough the middle daughters car , a Falcon AU ute doesnt seem to need alot of maitenance mainly just oil and plugs , but does around 70000km p/year, thats a Ford for ya! :(

Wow! just had a look at my last post , was about 3 months ago. Have done a bit , but not 3mths worth. Ill get onto it and post some pics.

ChilliChadd · « **Reply #115 on:** November 19, 2009, 11:20:00 pm »

MustangNut · « **Reply #117 on:** November 20, 2009, 06:08:04 pm »

Cool, I didn't use the braces on my kit, I really couldn't see a need for it. Are you going to install them?

Yes ill use the braces unless my future engineer says otherwise , but im just going to run the notching kit through licencing first. A bit backwards i know , but sought of got it thrown in on the deal . Nice smooth engine bay Mustang Nut , did you do yours yourself?

MustangNut · « **Reply #119 on:** November 20, 2009, 08:35:05 pm »

When I purchased the car they were sorta tacked in same as the RH conversion but had to redo everything. Taken me 2 years so far. I've just retired so may have a bit more time I hope.:f

Tasty indeed , bit of an overkill for my driving , but ehhh! will have to go minimum of 16" rims , will proberly go 17" now . Im just looking foward to the day i actually get to try them out , because that day will be close to licencing time . :2

Nice to see some updates Scott, I love that you are so meticulous with everything. I think I said it earlier but if you ever decide to come to Sydney I think I could find some work for you.
I think when its finished it will be one of the top fastbacks in the country.

scott66stang · « **Reply #124 on:** November 24, 2009, 03:53:48 pm »

Thanks Steve . i do get carried away a bit , and if i wasnt so darn picky about what will be covered up by paint , i dare say i proberly would of been driving it 6 months ago. I now have a rear screen to boot panel coming at the end of this month because i couldnt live with knowing that i have a pitted area , even though it has been sandblasted and treated and hasnt rusted through to the other side. These panels i believe have only just come available for the 65-66 fastbacks , as i couldnt get one a year ago , could only get 67 onwards.
My big test will be the final prep , i think i can paint good enough not superbly thou , i can live with that . But seeing if i can get it all straight enough to be happy with , being Black and all im not to confident . I think ill be having a few goes at that.
