Finished with the assembly of the front clip components.  A few more small things, then flat bed it down to have the exhaust system built.

Great looking car.

Thanks both of you!

BWhitmore

I wonder what your car would look like with body color wheels (green) and dog dish hubcaps.  Truly a beautiful car and OUTSTANDING craftsmanship.

What kind of Ford did you get your front spindles, rotors and all from?

1968 Ford Torino GT disc brakes, they worked quite well.

Oh geez, I don't remember concerning the paint used on the frame, shot that part of it a long time ago, it was what was recommended by the auto paint shop here in the valley.  all I can remember was exterior rust resistant semi-gloss black.  After I got through with the frame, I disassembled the rear axel, springs  and front suspension then started on them. sorry!

Nice when everything goes back together and it all fits the way it should....

RICH MUISE

You're not going to actually drive it, are you? lol.
That car is way over the top.
Off topic, but I'm a little confused as to where you live...the Bougavaileas(sure I spelled that wrong) and the Yuccas tell me Socal...but the pile of firewood? Can you still burn wood in Socal?
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Custom_Shelby

Haha!  The pile of firewood has been sitting there for years, Yes, Southern California, hasn't been cold enough here in the winter to burn the wood in the fireplace, not since 2010, and thanks for the compliment on the car, gonna be interesting when I first turn the key on the Boss 302, that's coming soon.  I'll shoot video on that.

BWhitmore

Rich - yes you can still legally burn real wood in your fireplace in So. California but hasn't been cold enough to do that for several years.  However in most communities it is against building codes to build or remodel a home with a traditional wood burning fireplace.  My home was built in 1936 so this does not apply to me.
