    They didn't publish the article yet. I spoke to the editor last week and he still doesn't know which issue it will run in, but he did tell me it will be a 5-6 page feature and possible the cover for that month depending on which other cars they will put it in. He said it takes at a minimum of...

    First coat of primer and wet blocking. In this pic you can see where I welded all the trunk panels and made it look like one flush piece. No one ever really notices but it's a nice touch. A few weeks later and a few more coats of filler and hours upon hours of wet sanding.

    Test fitting the 2010 Mustang center console. A lot of trimming needed to get it to sit flush. Bought the wood grain decal that is sold for the 69 deluxe door panels that way it would match the rest of the car and look close to the original 69 center console.
