I bought Global West subs from Jegs.

I took some pics, but I took them with my wifes camera and I don't know how to down load them.

Thanks for the offer, just move to Pa. for a while. LOL

I am not paying my welder, we are trading services. I am going to help him paint his house.

Here are the latest pics. I took them last weekend, and just now getting them down loaded. I forgot to bring my camera today. We have all the front end pieces painted with the first coat of primer. My dad will apply the second coat tomarrow. Then paint them black during the week.

Sub Frame connectors.

The intirior is going to be stock, accept maybe the seats. I might use the Mach seats. Not sure yet.

I think the Mach 1 seats would be very fitting with the new/old school Mustang. It would really add some sex appeal imo.

Plus they are 100% more comfortable. My wife's ass will be very appreciative.

We are going to start ripping into the Mach very shortly. But I may use the seats.

The front end parts are now all painted. The steering column has been removed and the steering shaft is ready for it's modification.

Next weekend we are going to pull the engine out of the Mach. I am going to make a vid of the cars final running moments before the removal of the engine.

We started pulling the engine on the Mach today. I took a video of the last running of the Mach. I will post that up as soon as I figure out how.

Amazingly enough the radiator was full of coolant and had no leaks. I was hoping to use it, but as you can see it is twisted pretty badly and was a bitch to get out.

As you can see the front is seriously twisted up.

We pretty much haverything on the top side disconected. I know there is one more wiring harness to disconnect and lable. We are labling everything so it is very time consuming. Also the body twist has not helped either.

Here is the link to all my pitures so far.
