69 Coupe progress pics

Did a little more welding on the front inner fender panels this past Saturday.

I am moving the e brake from under the dash to the trans tunnel using a Fox Mustang e brake handle. Instead of cutting up a factory 69/70 console I sold it & purchased a console off e bay for a 1974 Mustang II. I had to fab up the console mounting brackets which I did today. Next thing I need to do is mount the console centering the shifter opening in the console over the shifter opening in the floor so I know where to mount the e brake handle.

Today I did some metal work in the garage, I fine tuned the hole I cut in the r/s front toe board & re-cut the toe board patch to fit flush. As soon as the weather gets a little warmer I will weld it & the r/s toe board in place.

I as wondering how the T5 was going fit in the 69 console? I guess you answer that question for me. Nice work, Mike.

Today I finished welding & grinding the welds on the patch on the r/s cowl side panel, & started welding in the inner section of the r/s torque box.

I am almost finished welding in the r/s toe board. Would have finished it yesterday but I ran out of welding wire.

Here is the big block shock tower reinforcement pieces that I purchased from Open Tracker Racing.

Did some more welding to the r/s toe board, & threw some rattle can primer on the welds to protect them temp.

Just an update; I am still here & visit the site almost every day, I just have not worked on the Mustang for about 6 months my health & other priorities (life) have come first. Needless to say the Mustang did not get painted last year like I planned. I have to replace the l/s torque box, floor support, full floor, & repair some rust in the l/s door post by the upper door hinge. If I could get that done & nothing major comes along I should have that done by the end of the summer.

I know the feeling Mike.

I actually just completed some renovations to my house, in another week or so I should be able to resume work on my mustang.
