Re: Greg65 build thread
Yeah I put a little wax on it and the put it on the bed. I dont think I could have found a better original piece. Now to figure out if the color is fawn or saddle.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I was going through your build and your truck turned out great. Would not change a thing. Very nice truck.

The plan was to take it straight to the sand blaster until further inspection. I thought it would be best too fit the doors and make sure the rockers are where they need to be and the door shuts with the weatherstrip installed. Then take care of a few other things, then take it and get it blasted. With that said I need to move my 65 out of the shop and into the basement, so I can get busy on this one. No progress tonight, I hope to have the move handled tomorrow.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I got it (linking a youtube video), it's got to be a little easier than the way I did it.

![]() Worked a little tonight on the gaps.. I ground the high spots down so the gap wouldn't be so lumpy. They aren't perfectly even, but I don't want to burn up too much time. I want them to look good at a quick glance. With all the different colors it's hard to tell exactly what they look like. Once it blasted and primed one color, it will look better in pics. The last pic shows a place I ground thru. There are a few of these places that will need to be weld and ground again. Worked on the back panel grinding on previous repairs and knocking dents out. I will have to weld all the pin holes up on the previous repairs.

Re: Greg65 build thread
With the holidays almost behind us it's time to kick things into gear. I'll be back on it soon. Trying to put out a few fires (figuratively) on the mustang.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Greg brought the new fenders over today. We got to discuss a few things in person and I have a better game plan now. The repop fenders have a few issues to deal with. No lower hole for the headlight mount panel on either fender, the gap was inconsistant along the front edge of the fender along with not being flush at the edge at the top, and the top flange is bent up at the back edge and is welded that way.
I started doing some carving on the cab today. Greg, I can't remember the name on these fenders. Were they Key parts or Triplus?

Re: Greg65 build thread
That is typical of the one Tri Plus fender that I have, and all the others I have seen. You would think the guys in China would figure out that it isn't right and do something about it. But I guess they figure as long as everyone keeps buying them, why change.
As far as I know KeyParts and Tri Plus are basically the same company. Member Tim Christian here on the forum is involved in those companies.

Started welding up the holes in the firewall. This my process of making filler panels. I use the stud to hold on to it. A magnet will work, but if the magnet is strong and close to the weld puddle, it will draw the puddle to the magnet. that has been my experience. So that's why I opted for the stud.

![]() ![]() I believe I have the holes welded up on the firewall, except for the holes I cut in it today. Since this is my 3rd cab I've worked on. I have a new plan from here on. Before blasting the cab I will cut out all the rust holes back to good metal. Label the pieces identifying where they came from and save for patterns. Then have the cab blasted. Remember to brace the cab prior to removing the structural pieces.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I welded up all the unneeded holes on the outside of the passenger door.
Welded up the holes below the right side of the windshield. The metal was thin from rust. I kept blowing a hole until I reached solid metal. Also welded the edge of the door where I ground thru getting the gap.

Yeah I we be real excited after the first coat of paint is sprayed. I know it is a ways off but Alan is doing an amazing job. After hearing the door close sure brought back some memories of driving the truck as a teenager. Remembering driving on Alabama country roads with my wife. Good times. Give me a heads up the next time you go to the Calhoun track. I would love to meet you and see your truck going down the track.
