Dan - No worries on the tar. I am not planning on using that shell other than small patch pieces for the new shell. Thanks for the tip on the oil pump. I'm planning on pulling the motor this week and will be dropping the pan as soon as I can to check that.

Originally posted by mike343sharpstick View PostLove the contrasting interior. Body shell looks GREAT!
As I had mentioned earlier but was deleted, now is the time to weld in some gussets and re-weld some of the junk factory welds.
I would also recommend some subframe connectors, I just notched in some 1x2 steel, likely hundreds of options available for the mustang at low cost.
Here is the picture I posted illustrating some of the things I had done, translates to mustangs as the unibody structure is very similar.

If the motor is fresh, but been sitting for a long time, I would pull the distrubutor and see about turning the oil pump with a drill.

Thanks for the ideas guys.
I was out with my wife last night and mentioned that I was hoping to get the motor out this weekend. She looked me in the eye and said "You WILL get the motor out this weekend!" I guess I better get out to the garage.Chris - HRPT Long Haul 03, 04, 05, 13, 14, 15,16 & 18
