I had to sort out this opening in the Jeep's dash. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn104/jmvv/Jeep%20door%20panels/29_zpssv2vwohb.jpg ( :oops: The mounting tabs were not done by me) Seeing as I need to built an air conditioning system for the car, I made this panel to mount the aircon outlets and...

I was asked to see if I could do something about the boot as it looked a bit low rent. With the battery in the boot, housekeeping was not at its sharpest. So I made some custom panels, that I trimmed in black vinyl. I had some left over fender emblems, that I used as accent pieces and as handles to ...

This is actually a rather cool little car with a hot V6 Essex with Interceptor carbs, and all. What is nice is that it is properly registered and on the road. ht...

Finally, the car is done. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn104/jmvv/68%20Mustang/20160411_080019_zpsc0n0zsab.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn104/jmvv/68%20Mustang/20160411_080050_zpsgiqsavre.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn104/jmvv/68%20Mustang/20160411_103149_zpsiy6y2sby.jpg T...
