1978 Mustang II

We had a few rust holes in the floor that were cut out and new metal added.







Floor was sanded and epoxy primed black





 
Looks great but man I need your type of motivation when it comes to sanding a sloor like that!
 
Because this has a T-top we are going to add subframe connectors and a roll bar from S&W. The roll bar was sanded and epoxy primed.





Today I'm working on the front valance that was too wide. When I'm finished the valance and bumper will be one piece.

 
I added 3 layers of fiberglass mat on each end and now all I have to do is fit the center piece and a lot of bodywork and I will have a one piece bumper and valance!!

 
The center of the bumper had a flat section for a license plate that I built up with a lot of layers of fiberglass mat each piece getting smaller in the middle. The bumper looks pretty crude right now.

I still have a little work to do to get it lined up to the fenders

It is no longer looking like the Rail Road previously owned it !
 
I'm trying to decide if I want to add this front spoiler. Of course it doesn't fit but with a little work I can get it on there.

I'd say no spoiler. Looks out of place especially with the bumpers smooth to match fenders.
 
Looks a lot better with IMO. Rusty, what color will this one be?
 
If the chin spoiler will actually help keep the nose down at speed it might be a worthy addition, if not, it's just something hanging out there just asking to get banged up.
 
The car needs it IMO, kills any resemblance to a pinto. I like the king cobra one better though

I have decided no spoiler. The major bodywork is finished
