Getting Current & The Plan

I'll spare everyone details on the general maintenance and basic interior work I performed early this year. Those projects were simply to get the vehicle inspected and drivable. After driving it occassionally for a few months, it was time to begin the first actual phase of restoration... the front suspension.

The initial plan was to remove both fenders, restore the fenderwell area, install new front suspension, and then put it back together. However, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and this project seems as if it will take much longer than expected. At this point, the project has been expanded to include the restoring the radiator support and wiring as these are most accesible with the fenders off. The new plan is to restore the front suspension and the bay area in front of the shock towers.

I stripped the front sheetmetal off the car on June 1st. I've removed front sheetmetal, stripped the sound deadener from both fenderwells, removed all suspension components, and recently started stipping the paint from the part from of the engine bay area I will be restoring. I'll include a couple of pictures of the Mustang in its current state.
