Sandblasted the Mustang frame today,that gives me less then a month to reassemble before RTTH.It should really be like the racecars of old,held together with duct tape and chewing gum.all my freinds are taking bets to see if I make it.Where is that Overhaulin crew when you need them.Ron

Chassis is painted and back together,body is held on with visegrips while I bend up the roll cage.Tick tock

Got cage bent and tacked in.It really turned out good,stayed real high and tight,from the outside of the car you can't even see it.Going to pull the body off one more time to make tigging all the tubing easier.While the body is off I'll prime it,by next weekend it should be installed for keeps.Ron

Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!

Amazing job. Especially considering it started with a $400 car!
