Modified 1968 Coupe

Saturday we went to the Mustang Club of Tampa's 30th annual car show. When we left the shop at 6:30 it was raining and finally stopped around 10:30. At first it looked like we would have a bad turn out but I was surprised when the weather cleared the cars kept rolling in.

I plan on using the stock grille and chrome trim so I modified the stone guard than bonded it to the Maier front end.

What happen to the plan for the E nose?

The E nose will require more work getting it to look right with the stock headlight buckets and grille. Also the front of the fenders would have to be cut and the shape of the flares don't match.

It is hard to tell in this picture but the nose is to wide at the top so I cut off both sides

Another problem is the bottom brackets hung down over an 1" from the frame rail so I cut them off and bolted them to the frame

Next I used fiberglass mat and resin to reattach. When this sets up I will take it off and add more to the other side.

Making new fiberglass ends for the front end.

I taped a piece of aluminum on there for a pattern than added two pieces of fiberglass mat

The next day I carefully removed the aluminum

I added more material to the back side than sanded a little and this is the first test fit. It's getting closer to what I want. I still need to reshape the spoiler.

I spent today adding fiberglass to the ends of the front end so it will mount to the holes in the fender where the stock valance bolts. It is now held in place with 8 bolts in the original holes.

I think it's perfect with the flares, the nose the stance. I wound't do a "replica" but it's got the "style" of the 67 Trans-Am cars!!!
