Radiator look into Fluidyne or Griffon. Both are high dollar units and you can't go wrong with either.
this for sure.
I went with LFP. I was disappointed to see the "made in china" sticker on the bottom, but it's still a quality product.
That that I know it's chinese, I'd go with Afco. Fluidyne is another heavy-hitter.

I have the headlight panel, radiator airbags, airbag sensors. I have a core support as well but it'll have to be cut out. Pm me with an offer and we can go from there. I have a slim SPAL fan with a fan controller as well.

Found a good deal on a roller locally that has all the parts so I went with it, they are also delivering it. Will have everything I need with it short of the core support.

pulled my old-blue truck in front of the mustang and got the come-along out.
Was surprised how easy it was and before long I had it pulled out enough to get the rad/condenser out. Figured no time like the present with the nice weather so I cut the fender off too.

Also reconsidering the welding of the fender back on. Might need access to back there again either for the wiring I will be tucking back there or who knows what. I think I will cut it just above the rocker. Just make a nice/straight cut and then have the new fender end there also with a nice straight cut. If I need too I will weld a small support piece behind the upper portion for it to rest on to keep it stable but I think with the bend of the fender by the door ad the wheel well that it should be stiff enough to not need it. I will just make sure the two pieces line up close enough that it will not draw attention or look bad.
So ah.......... Whats next? In all seriousness I really don't know. I pulled the hood-release cable through so I can tuck it and the rest of the wires I ran so I know what to do with them but I am really not sure what I all need to do. I want to get the scott rod panels so do I just nix the windshield reservoir completely or is there a way to mount it somewhere else? I want to put the stock fuse panel behind the fender, but leave an access door to still get to them and the washer fluid is right there....

I have a buddy that use to buy salvaged cars and rebuild/flip them for some time. He did a number of sn's as well so it was even better. When he walked up and saw the damage he was amazed they totaled it as he pointed out the bumper crush zones had not even been touched. He reminded me of a couple of the mustangs he fixed and then showed where the core support/fenders were pushed back on those cars and mine is minimal compaired to his. Pulled the bumper off and some other little stuff and now its ready to go to the frame shop which he also has a hook-up with after all the cars he did. Hopefully can get it off to the shop this week and get the parts car just in time to get everything back together and finish the wire tuck/engine bay smoothing/cleaning.
your car is a billion years old. of course they totalled it. lol.

Got tired of it being hard to read the numbers on the wrenches so I got some touch-up paint and took care of that.

Oh man thats such a good idea. Idk why the tool manufacturers don't do that. It is fuking annoying trying to read that shit, and I don't wear glasses

In ALL honesty... Judging by the pictures it looks as tho that is totally re workable...... Get yourself a rubber mallet so as to not do too much damage, and see if you can knock that back into shape...
And definitely a great idea with the wrenches!

its funny as I was squinting to see the numbers on the wrench and then looked at the bottle of touch up paint as I walked back to the car. Stopped dead in my tracks and you could almost have heard me thinking aloud as I looked at the bottle again, looked down at the wrench, back at the bottle. A little alcohol to be sure the oils are off of it, a tissue to wipe off the excess and yer done. You could probably even use yer girls finger nail polish.....
I had a hard time keeping my buddy from grabbing the hammer. He wanted to straighten the core support out to see and I told him I would be replacing it anyway. I can remember watching him pull frames out by chaining it to a large tree in his yard and putting the car in reverse. There was a couple of reasons I would not buy one of his salvages, that and the "extra parts bucket" were in the top 3 for sure....
