Happy new year! Pat and Ross are working on Laurens’s interior still, installing the dash pad and the instrument clusters while they plug up all the wiring, and Tim is going welding in the trunk compartment. He’s preparing to replace the lower rear quarter panel sheet, but there’s some minor welding to be done first.

Uh-oh! We’ve found a leak! Two actually: in the rear quarter air scoops and in the cowl–the cowl is particularly susceptible to leaking on these old Mustangs, but its nothing we haven’t handled before. Ian and his sons, under Timbo’s supervision, began disassembling the interior to begin the repairs. They have the steering wheel and instrument cluster off now so we can reach up into the cowl to treat and repair the rust and damage. The side scoops simply didn’t have the proper seals, so that shouldn’t be a difficult fix.
