[QUOTE="Terminated_cobra_03, post: 16847505, member: 203491"] I have reasons for everything. This car was just some engine work away from running before the last owner took everything apart. He noticed bondo cracks in the inner fender aprons. Without knowing the true nature of how bad it was and assuming it was far worse then it actually was. He disassembled it and left it in the state it is now. When I first saw the car I noticed how clean it was from the firewall back. I noticed that there wasn't to much rust and it was all surface. I knew at the worst I was looking at replacing the front clip for around 7k if it was to go back to OEM. I knew a tube front end was also a definite possibility. When I first got there and saw the car on the trailer I opened the doors and the doors opened extremely smoothly, this told me that the body was pretty darn straight and the body was not twisted. I knew a good amount of parts are just normal mustang and could be found in junkyards. The bottom line is I had my mind made up that this was possible and I was going to figure out how I could make it all happen. Under the scatter brain posts and ADHD craziness is actually a lot of time on spreadsheets figuring out how it could all be done. Yes I may get a lot of people that think I'm crazy or stupid. Over all I am emotionally attached to the car. I do fully intend to ride this out to the very conclusion of this cars story. [/QUOTE]
