Nothing too hard at all actually. (nothing to the car itself if you didnt want too)<-edit I lucked out and the rails are equal distance apart, old vs new. Here is a link to a write up I did: http://www.cmbracing.com:5599/late&#37;2...20install.html I still have yet to buy another manual frame rail to install the other one, plus I still need to lower the pedestals for a better ride height. (they sit just slightly too high for my tastes.) I was going to do that last weekend, then ran into my floor problem and decided to deal with that first. Not sure if I will be able to get around to it this weekend either, helping some friends move.

I'm sure the gas station had problems with the vaccuum later I made it into a wet/dry vac sucking the water from the interior.hehehe

I've personally never done it, but I believe i will be in the future! Here is the good site I was talking about: http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/75438/ Sounds like you may have it worse than mine. (cant top my buick though) Air and water leaks are the worst part about classic cars.

That cowl repair looks like a pain in the ass for someone that has never done it before. I think I might someone else do this for me. I dont do bodywork that great.

That floor pan looks like fun for you to do. Loved the patch job previous owner did. looks like it used to be a sign.lol

Figured I'd give you guys an update, its been awhile... I have both the drivers and passengers side replaced, though both still need more welding. (Passengers side only has several tack welds) Definately took longer than I expected, though I havent really put that much time into it, just finding that time lately has been pretty tough. After I get all the welding done I'll grind it all smooth, put a healthy dose of epoxy on it, then some new sound deadener and put it back together!! On a side note I also have pretty much all the parts to get my t5 in finally, so once the floors are done that will be next, along with my electric fan. I actually have a decent paying job now, so its been nice to be able to order new parts.

Also, does anybody know a good way to recondition black leather seats, the grey stress marks make them look pretty bad to me...
