Mark, if I ever get run over at a car show, I hope it is by one of your cars
I don't really work on Mustangs

I smell blue paint soon!!!
The 67 GTX @eldubb440 is working on (Barry's car) won't quite have the power that my 500 cubic inch stroker has. But it won't be all that far off. I'm guessing it will be around 500 HP and a lot of torque. The engine will be basically built like my stroker, except heads are aluminum Mopar Stage VI heads. I am spending a lot of time lightening the pistons and making sure everything is right on spec. So the engine gives up 45 cubic inches, but I'd still get out of the way unless you really want to see the underside up close!!!Mark, if I ever get run over at a car show, I hope it is by one of your cars
Okay Hawk, now you have to start a new engine build threadThe 67 GTX @eldubb440 is working on (Barry's car) won't quite have the power that my 500 cubic inch stroker has.

Mirrors won't be likely when we are driving it across country and potentially stop at a car show! We've driven across country with two of mine - now it's his turn to provide a car!@HawkRod, is Barry shopping for mirrors to place under car to show off @eldubb440's "work"? Magnifying glass mounted to mirror to show off AMD stickers too!!
Eldubb440, I'm back for a dose of wisdom. As you know, I've been repairing/replacing rot on my 68 Coronet (I have this entire thread printed out and in my shop) and have done the trunk pan, quarter panels, driver frame rail, etc. I just cut out the Dutchman panel and can't stop myself from moving forward. My rear window frame is completely shot; I purchased a replacement from a donor in AZ. My question is, where should I cut? I really only need the window frame, but the donor includes everything to the trunk hinges. (I will replace the Dutchman panel on the donor.) Any advice before I start cutting? I drew a line about three inches around the frame on the donor; should it be more -- like six -- on the roof? Guide me oh wise one!

Thanks, eldubb440. After I sent the pictures, I examined the current body a bit closer and it actually could benefit from the replacement more than I thought. I think I will try to use as much of the donor as I can and then go back to replace the Dutchman panel and the trunk gutters.Holy crap, I created a monster........ how high up is your rot? do you need any of that roof and /or sail panel?
there might be lead over top of a seam about half way up that glass bed, but cut out what you have to; just tear into it, and don't eat any lead
the beauty in all this stuff, is you can't really destroy anything that's already beat, and it only fits one way
