MUSTANG PROJECT CONTINUES

Next on the agenda was to strip the old paint off so the body filler and prime paint would have a good base. While stripping the old stuff off some old damage showed up on the passenger side on the door and rear panel behind the door where it looks like a minor side swipe and the drivers side front fender and door. Below the body has been striped.

 Above and below doors, fenders, trunk, rear valance and cowl are striped or sand blasted.

 This is the rust damage at the front and back of the drivers door.

 rust damage on the bottom corner of passenger door.

 Drivers door at outside door handle was split open.

 Bottom of front fender looked like it was rusted through but when cleaned it will be treated with rust preventive and body filler.

 Door patch being done.

 When the heater housing was removed I found it had been broken so a patch was made and pop rivet'ed in.

 Heater core leaked when it was tested and a new one ordered as it was cheaper than repairing the old one.

 Looking at the bottom of the car with the new control arms in place.

 A better picture of the new upper & lower control arms, ball joints and bushings.

 New steering box, master cylinder and booster.
