Here's the deal; the mustang has all the frame rails in. The rear frame rails are offset just a little. The new rear tire wells are formed and in place. This baby looks stock but the reality is the spacing for the rear frame rails and stock looking rear tire wells are now allowing for 20" wheels and 285-310mm rear tires.
Here's an idea of the stance I'd like to get - the pic is of a '64 Chevy that the shop was working on.The subtle tweeks are going to make the person who doesn't know what to look for in the '68 Mustang think "wow, this looks different" and the person who does notice the differences think "what did they do??".
Originally I was going to get a gas tank with a fuel bladder in it but I couldn't find the listing for the company that makes them. That and a new thought on what's going to go in the trunk may someday require removal/replacement of the gas tank. If there is a major install (which there will be) of a stereo and electronics in the trunk, all that equipment would need to be ripped out in order to get at the fuel tank - not good.
So, Johnny fabricated a custom trunk floor (it looks awesome). Any new gas tank will be mounted from underneath the car.
We're now waiting for new door hinges and will be placing the doors on to help with the fabrication and alignment of the rear quarters.
I also want to order new custom hood hinges to give the car a cool look when showing off the engine.
The new front clip has been ordered some time ago and it should be in soon. Hopefully the front end shock towers will be cut out soon, the clip installed, and the transmission tunnel built out a bit within the next few months. This will set it all up for the new driveline.
