Looks like a 70 Cougar in the corner ?
What is the story on that ?

Yes, just getting sewn back up with airbag safe string. They count the stitches, and measure the length, and program the machines for those specs. The machine then matches the original stitch hole for hole, and you're done. The guy that does it for us has done a bunch, and generally does high end yachts and designer home furniture. I'm sure it will look great!@Silver Talon
What's the process for getting the seat covers back to usable after an airbag splits them? Can't tell from the pic but the leather looks okay, are they just resewing the seam.
It could be! Last I talked with him, he had a few more than a dozen cougars. One of his many other tastes beside mustang restoration. I'll ask next time I'm over.Looks like a 70 Cougar in the corner ?

That's correct. It's a clone though, with all original R parts from random leftover ford and svt parts warehouses. Has a correct v6 base car shell, with the correct interior as well. Original wheels, and all the rare upper intake and intake hoses were sourced too. Has a lightning long block which was what they used also. Only thing it needs is some oe rear shocks, the rear spoiler mounted, and something for an oe gt computer, to be flashed for the 5.8. Super cool car!Looks like a 95R in the background of the outside shot as well.

Its looking good manGot some more done late last night. The guys at the shop got the door straightened, stripes taken off the door, and the bottom of the hood painted. Fender is sanded and has a bit of primer on it as well. Both the fender and hood should be installed on the car today, and lined up. Should be in paint by the first of the week.
Also worked on the interior quite a bit. Took the steering wheel off and swapped on a new clock spring, which was easier than I thought. Some of the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel where all messed up too. Managed to take apart the assembly, and get it back into working order. Nice solid clicks from it, and it saved me some money!View attachment 1513865View attachment 1513866View attachment 1513867View attachment 1513868

It's not that bad. It just takes a little time.If I attempted to do the work you are, the car would have been totaled twice
Haha! That would be sweet! But I'd wait to vote till the videos of the burnouts get loaded!!@Silver Talon This is possibly up there for thread of the year. At least, my technician side is thinking that!
