Last night was very productive as well. Went ahead and replaced the outer core support skin. Again the old one was mangled and could have been used and held a radiator but why leave it when we just so happened to have a brand new one sitting in the shed.

Everything has lined up very well and has been tack welded. We will be spending the next day or so filling in all the spot welds that had to be cut out to make the repairs

What you have done with this car; from where you started to now is admirable. I cannot wait to see the completed car.

Great progress guys! Coming along nicely!

Nice to see this being brought back from the dead... can't wait to see the end result.

Wreck...... What Wreck?

Got the engine bay all welded back together and smoothed out. Finally got to spray some primer. Now off to tend to the rest of the car.

Wow! Fantastic work! Were you able to put the fender tags back on it? Love seeing this kind of progress. That's what this car deserved. Can't wait for a giant TX-DPS mustang meetup.

Yes, the fender tags are still on the car. We didnt have to remove them to replace the fender aprons. The buck tags are put up for now but will be put back as well.

And then there were 2! Finally got a coat of primer on the 87 Tx DPS and set it next to Teds (texunters) 89 LSP. Turned out to be a great weekend!! Moving right along!
