So my pal Ray and I do this thing where we work on each others car to mix things up. I personally love working on other peoples cars, but when it comes to my own, i just dont put as much love into it. So while i worked on his Supra swapped Volvo wagon he about finished up the front end for the stang...
The night before i had buttoned up the core support and got it tack in. Then Ray located the bottom of the head lights...
The bumper as far as we know is suspended by the headlights so we had to make the headlight brackets pretty sturdy. The upper headlight bracket and front fender locator he made is pretty bad ass. Its made of 1/8" aluminum which we had planned on since setting the height of the core support...
in this one you can also see my monster Griffin radiator i had made. IT still needs brackets and such made for it also....
...those are identical from left to right except the direction of the dimples. We made a template for spares in case we smash one up.
and here it is all fit up. Ray did a great job despite his hatred towards body work, haha...
The core support is still only tacked together, ill remove the front end and weld it in for good this week.
Im also going to cut most of the structure out of the underside of the 2010 hood to save some weight and probably mount hood pins in our core support this week also.
Then id like to finish our dash and fab mounts for that in there too.
Also i picked up this blown up Terminator motor to use as a powerplant....
