good progress so far.  Got the old pans off and did a little sand blasting.  I am going to use the por 15 for the chassi once i get it all cleaned up.  Got the new brake lines ready.  This is really fun.  I am enjoying and learning so much as i go along

I took everyones advice and ordered the 18 gauge Wolfsburg West

what gauge pans did you go with and are you still happy with that decision?  I am getting ready to do mine and it look like it will cost me 169 apeace for 18 guage with another 112 for shipping.  I can get some thinner one locally for 124 appeace no shipping and save a little.  Just wondering if i need to spend the extra money.

Will do Mustang.  I plan on doing as much as i can while I have the body off, new brake line, cable and so on.  I am going to sand blast the chassi and undercoat it all.  I saw something about a hydrolic emergency brake.  Has anyone tried that?

Now the real work begins. 

Thanks for all the advice.  I will go ahead and weld them in.  Trying to find a source for the 18 gauge pans locally to save on the shipping.  I have all the wire marked and disconnect.  Last thing is the steering rod and she is ready to lift off.

And will a mig welder do the job.Any advice on where to purchase the floor…[Read more]

Great, that helps I will look for the other bolts today and try that wire.  I am exited to get the body off and get started.  I have learned so much about the car by just reading the threads on this site.  My goal is to have it on the road in 6 months.
