Talked with Greg (Unmrkd) he actually has them along with other donated parts. He is gonna get some pics of them and either post them up or forward them to me and I'll post them.

Update
 
Wheels were sent off to Keystone to be reconditioned. There back and man they look amazing! In fact I know I'll be having a set redone for myself in the near future. Will try to post pics of them tomorrow.

Also been speaking with head guy at Mustangs Unlimited and they're reviewing our list for consideration on donating (some/all) remaining items for this Project.

Tear down is about to begin. We've been waiting to get some good before photos with Leutinant Don Stultz (which we now have) before getting started.

I will keep you posted as more develops.

Wheels turned out VERY NICE... Correct color inside and machined correctly.
I am very pleased. Now I gotta have a set done myself ! :-)

MOstang 11-04-2013 08:47 PM

Keystone/LKQ does a great job! I've had a complete set and then some re-done by them with great results.

NoDrama43 11-04-2013 09:31 PM

my only issue with Keystone was the fact they put about ten times to much clearkote on the last set they did for me. I had them do them over and they came out right the second time. Other than that they did fabulous work for me.

MOstang 11-05-2013 08:24 AM

Jim -I'm glad you mentioned that. Fortunately I didn't have that happen, but that may be because I had read a prevoius post of yours on that experience so was able to be clear with Keystone on the required finish.

kapracing 11-05-2013 11:31 AM

Just some food for thought...

The UV protection is in the clear...
The thinner the clear the less protection you've got
and the sooner they will start peeling...

On a car stored indoors this is not a problem, but if not,
I'd choose the possibly thicker than original to protect my
investment...

Just my 2 cents...

nighthawk756 11-05-2013 09:34 PM

Got to see the refinished wheels in person last Sunday. They look fantastic! Looks like I'll be trying to come up with a good used set to have them refinished for 1537. ;)

kapracing 11-06-2013 09:15 PM

We'll,
I've been talking with Anthony (Managing Director) at Mustangs Unlimited. He seemed very excited about our project and submitted our donation list to the owner for consideration. This is a list of items he approved for donation.

Coil cover
Air Deflector
Side Marker RH
Side Marker LH
Distributor Dust Boot
Channel Run Wstrp. RH
Channel Run Wstrp. LH
Overflow Tank
Outside Door Handle Kit
Molding Retainer kit
Prop rod clip


So if you don't mind Bill, :-)
Update our original list with these items and also
I have my local Upholstery Shop donating the recovering of
The headliner ; package tray and once we receive the donated
seat material, he'll also be replacing the faded parts of the rear seat.
I also got Oreilly's Auto Parts donate a pair of front struts :-)

28HopUp 11-06-2013 09:24 PM

Bobby, I think I have updated the list correctly, but you might want to double check. For instance, do the "Outside Door Handle Kits" include the handle itself? Presently, they are listed separately (which I can easily change if needed).

I had a good friend that's a machinist build this one for me to check out. He used the original to build a jig then build the first one. I test fit it inside car and it lined up perfectly. So now I'll be having him build 5 more for myself and possibly several extra's (just in case) :-) ... I will probably have this one powder coated to see if I like it but I will probably just paint the rest like GSP did...

nighthawk756 11-19-2013 10:03 PM

Looking good Bobby!!

Well finally took a few minutes to get past my biggest hurtle today. Removing the Whelen Edge lightbar... Now that's done I can move forward with the body work :-)
Times a ticking !

Body Side Moldings
 
As the new year has arrived, Bobby and I are assessing the remaining items needed for the GSP project. After inspection of the Body Side Moldings we have determined we need a replacement set to do this car correctly.

We therefore are adding the moldings (3 pieces per side) to the list of items needed. If anyone has a set or pieces they would donate, it would be most appreciated. Please PM me for a shipping address.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed items so far. We could not do this without your support. Happy New Year to all.

Well Guy's I'm back on the States GSP:2thumbs:

After removing the light bar I noticed both sides were dented in...
along with about 25-30 small hale dents (nothing too serious though).
PPG has set me up with a running account for supplies and materials
So all is well and back under way after the Holidays !!!:D

As Greg (UNMRKD) mentioned earlier the body moldings are in need of replacing if anyone has any NOS ones they'd like to donate...

kapracing 01-11-2014 11:52 PM

Thanks Bill for staying on top of our needs list :2thumbs:
As always your doing a awesome job!!!
