Slow progress lately but here's a few things
Nothing too new lately, I started mounting the parts that I recently built, also started working on the fastback sails to the notchback rear end. Also started thinking more about the rear hatch and how to do it and not pictured yet is a cardboard cutout/shape scoop for the air intake on the intercooler. Just about got my rear swaybar so I can finish the suspension work 100%, but I still have to wait a week or two more before I get it in.

Small update
I know its been a week since my last posting, there has been a little progress, also I brought in the first body piece for test fitting and modifications. This week I have mounted the transmission bracket for the cables, I still have some work to do to this piece, it seems the angle of the lateral cable to the transmission lever is out a little bit so that I can't properly engage reverse gear, also I think that I need to add a bracket to hold the cable in place, they seem to come out too easy.
Progress has been made with other small pieces on the car, I have welded in the meth pump support bracket, nitrous solenoid bracket and engine coolant overflow tank. Tomorrow I have a new front trunk tray (for the lack of a better term, basically its going to be a larger lower trunk area where the spare tire usually goes) I made it larger so that I can fit a battery and the nitrous tank, also I have a battery bracket and meth tank brackets that will mount to the car.
In one of the pictures you will see the trimmed piece of a GT fastback that will ultimately be glassed onto the original notchback. The funny thing is that I was looking at the intercooler/support bar/notchback and had the idea that I could install a curved window that could still keep the notchy look but still have the room for the intercooler.......think about the late 80's mustang coupe rear window, but then the more I thought about it the more I didn't like the idea.
