Todays update; Broke out the sawzall & cut out most of the l/s outer wheel house, & started drilling out the spot welds where the inner support structure & the inner & outer wheel houses are all welded together. Removed the outer wheel house where it is welded to the l/s rocker panel & found broken glass & what looks like a rats nest of insulation inside the rear of the rocker panel. I took some pics & will try to get them posted over the weekend.

It's coming along pretty well! I know one thing, I wouldn't have the patience to work on something like this, I give all of you guys who work on these classics some credit!

Todays update; Finished removing the rest of the l/s outer wheel house, & ground smooth what was remaining to get a smooth surface. Did a test fit of the repo outer wheel house & it fit good. Now I need to make a trip next week to Lockport to Macs Antique Auto Parts for a l/s rear quarter skin.

Nice project!
I did a 67 fastback over the summer and found allot of the same problems you did including rear quarters made out of fiberglass and bondo
I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how

Finally got the time to hang the repo door on the drivers side. The repo door looks real good with nice lines for a repo part. Just have to tweak the adjustment so it is aligned better.

We need pics. Keep up the good work.

I am going to get a quarter panel skin in the next couple of weeks & once I do the test fit with the new door & new outer wheel house I will take some pics & have them posted so everyone can see the progress.

Well it looks like the progress has come to a snails pace as we are packing up the house & garage to get ready to move back to NJ. So I do not have to move a rear end assembley I swapped out the 8" rear & installed the 9" rear I had purchased a while back for the Coupe. Any one want a Ford 8" rear?.

 

[ColdCougar]

wow sorry to hear man ... better to drop back and punt and take your time

 

[adkmach1]

Really sorry to see you move.

 

[jmiller]

Awe, Mike! I'm hoping the move is a good one for you. I will talk to hubs about the 8" rear and be in touch. (((hugs)))

Hey Mike,
Sorry to hear about this. What part of N.J. Are you moving to? I frequent the shore (every weekend) If you're moving close we could meet up and talk Mustangs.

 

[Mike65]

Really sorry to see you move.

It is not like I will not still be visiting here. I WILL keep visiting & posting pics of my progress on the Coupe.

Hey Mike,
I just replied to your P/M. I guess I'll be seeing you down at the shore. Let me know when you get down there. I'd say we could go junkyarding ,but they closed all of the good ones.
