Hey everybody-
Got the sheet metal back on the car this afternoon including a new stone deflector and lower valence. Take a look at:

I just got my 66 style Shelby brake scoops and those will go on next. I got a hood from a very rust free California car that is in outstanding condition! I'll be cruising in my freshly restored car in a month or so now! I can't wait. By the way I don't know if I like the stance of the car or not. It has all new suspension including Canadian Mustang 1" drop springs in front and stock height leafs in back. I did this in an effort to give the car a slight rake but I really didn't get that effect. Any ideas as to why? Just wanted to show someone my work. By the way I took the car up and down the street and the T-5 is just awesome!!!! Can't wait to get out on the open road.

Later-

Sounds like a good time, maybe someday my fastback will look like its almost ready to drive. Theres a special feeling that goes with that maiden voyage in a car you built.

It's great when everything seems to come together isn't it? I've been there, it's better than sex (almost).
My biggest step forward will be finding some roach rice-grinder or something to drive to work, so I can stop driving my Mustang and start tearing it apart. With the exception of the exhaust collector, I have everything to convert my 70 to a Shelby rear end. Good luck with you coupe. Love to see it painted.

If the coils are brand new, they will take a while to settle to their intended height. I have new springs
front and rear on my 68 convertible and it looked like a 4x4 when they were first installed. The rears
have now lowered to just about stock height (it's been about 6 months) but the fronts are still pretty
high.

Good luck, the car looks good so far.
