    No pics of those panels being made. Just measured and formed in a pan break. Cut the holes for the air ducts with a cut off wheel and screwed it up to the bottom of the dash. Added screws where it met the console and outer panels where possible.

    Oh yea left the front right there. The back settled down just a bit with a full load of fuel and some driving.

    I cut my teeth on a '47 convert so it looks familiar to me with lot of good work. I particularly find it interesting that you can hide the battery in the front fender! Access will require body work for a door of some sort to the battery? It looks like you replaced an IFS with another IFS so I guess the old transverse spring is long gone.

    We had a second rolling chassis we put the mustang II parts on. The traverse springs and axles were snapped up by dad's friends real quick. The camaro clipped chassis mess was given away.

    As to access to the battery. I have to jack up the car and remove 4 bolts, then the battery box drops down.
