Rust: there is no worse four letter word.

My Mustang is up on jack stands and slowly being dismantled. The roof, the floorboards and the cowl vents are succumbing to rust. There is collision damage from three separate incidents, probably, at the left front, left rear, and drivers door. Time to learn bodywork.
The engine is a rebuilt 302 .040 over for 306 cubic inches. The camshaft is a solid lifter Isky with duration of 240 @ .050 and lift of .512. Heads are World products Roush with 180cc intake runners.(IIRC) Performer RPM intake and 600cfm Holley double pumper top off the engine. Properly tuned over 350HP. It's not meant to idle smoothly.
Transmission will be a T5, rear axle will be a Ford 8.8 from a 99 Explorer. 31 splines, 3.73, detroit truetrak limited slip, and 4 wheel discs.
Interior should look classic, no A/C, maybe a rear package tray instead of seats.
I'm aiming for lower, sleeker, better handling and faster than stock.
