I need to get you caught up on the progress we have made. The body is back on the rotisserie getting ready for paint.

Looking great. Can't wait to see mine in that condition.

Do you have renderings of the finished car? Love to see what you have in mind.

No we have changed our mind a lot as we are building it.
 
Brian started laying out the stripes on the body

We could not find a power brake booster that would clear the hydraulic clutch master cylinder so we went with the Hydratech Braking System.

We still could not get the hydraulic clutch master cylinder to clear but found one from Modern Drive line that clears. Talked to Hydratech and they said have never had a problem but there was no way it would clear on our car. Looked at a couple of other 65 - 66 Mustangs in the shop and found that the aftermarket firewall on our project was not the same as the original one and that was our problem.

It's a tight fit but clears

Rusty,
Did you have to modify the trans tunnel brace at all for the TKO, or is the crossmember custom?

I had to modify my brace a lot to fit a TKO600 in my 67.
