Well got the dash pulled out and the wire harness on the driver side pulled out. tomorrow I'm going to try to get the heater box pulled and the passenger harness pulled. Trying to get everything ready to pull the motor and trans on Thursday or Friday so I can get the car over to the guy that's going to replace and fix the radiator core support and the passenger side forward of the shock tower.

Needless to say I have never done a restoration or rebuild before and with all the parts around the garage its kind of overwhelming.

Well here are some pics of some of the repairs being done. the new radiator core support is in as well as the pass. side inner what ever its called. the guy doing the work is a guy named Jimmy Easton. Thanks Jimmy it looks great. he said its as straight as it can be and measured right to the T. Jimmy is putting my 4 lug stuff back on, door pins, K member, rack and pinion, and a few other things. Jimmy loves restoring Mustangs and is loving being part of my SSP resto.

Thanks for looking, James

well here are some more pictures. disassembled the front and rear seats. washed the fabric and foam. by the way 2 weeks for the foam to completely dry. painted the seat frames and got it all put back together. cleaned the dash completely, disassemble everything, the ducts are cleaned, wire and since the frame had surface rust sanded and painted it. A lot of dust and dirt. Cleaned the A/C heater Box and put a new heater core in it. Gutted the rest of the interior out of the car and pulled the quarter windows out to see what I'm going to do about them.

Have a couple of dents to pull out and get ready for the rest of the prep and paint. Had a guy come take a look at the car to paint and wanted to charge me $4k to paint it "which I cant afford to do to this car" so that kind of took the wind out of my sails. But Ill do as much of the body work and prep as I can and go from there.
