The rear rolled pan is coming along. Filled up the old tail light openings also. ive got an idea to replicate the old custom lights but just need to run it past the compliance guy first.

Was wondering if anyone has a set of old slot mags. Im looking for a pair of 15 x 8 with a 3 1/2 inch back space and ford stud.

Got a few more jobs done..I’ve removed the original tail light buckets, tidied up both lower rear fenders and starting to work on the lower portion of the rolled rear pan. once I have the rear pan in place I can then fill the last piece and she’s done. Also got the original black plates back in the system for when I’m ready to register it.

Made up the recess for the gas cap that is going to be accessed behind the license plate. Just need to do a little bit of file work on it and weld it in place.

The rear pan was so dented up I had to hammer and sandbag it into shape then run it through my mini English wheel to smooth it all out. Starting to take shape now.

There will also be a flush fit fuel cap behind the number plate.

After researching a bit more about replicating the cars rear custom tail lights it was getting to be in the to hard basket to make sure all the products used complied with currant regs and the price of making the one off lenses was horrendous. Ive decided to go with 64 mustang tail lights and I think they fill the space well along with keeping it an 80s style custom treatment.

Time to start fixing up the rolled rear pan. Its pretty bashed around so need to remove the bottom piece and straighten it out.
