It is for a SN-95 with, SN-95 arms. It bolted in great but, being SN-95 specific, the rear bolt holes are further back and needed to be elongated towards the front of the car. It also needed 3/8" spacers due to the upper frame rails being on a different plane compared to the Mustang.

A radiator about the size I needed, popped up for sale on the other side of the state so, I had to go get it. I made up a quick bracket and, to make RaceStatus happy, I didn't paint it black. Rather, it got painted body color. I still need to make up something to fully secure the bottom of the...

So, I took advantage of the semi warm weather and dusted the car off. The water that came off of it, was worse that most rest stop toilet water. Washed (1 of 8) by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Washed (2 of 8) by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Washed (3 of 8) by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Washed (4 of 8) by...

Decided to toss the fender and a wheel on, to see what it will look like if, it ever stands up. BCN_4527 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr BCN_4528 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Holy shit, I made something! I mean, it's complete crap but, you have to start at crap to make it up to garbage...right? Got...

Figuring out the order to bolt all this crap together sucked but, the brake pedal, booster, steering column and all that jazz is finally in the car for good. Though, now I see just how dirty everything has gotten. BCN_4497 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr BCN_4487 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr I'm not...

I put one more coat of Por15 down on everything that matters. I'll let that cure out for a day or two then spray the wheel hose in that roll cage paint, to make it satin black and prime the engine bay, to get it ready for color. Cage-4438 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Cage-4449 by Jason Bacon, on...

Got the car home today and started the process of cleaning up the tubing and painting it. After that is done, it'll be time to get the engine bay coated, primed and painted then...Build a rear end perhaps? Motor Plates by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Roll cage by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Roll Cage by...

Cell phone pictures from the guy doing the work. Next weekend, I'll drag it home, clean it up and get some paint on things. 22908342_2027147194188920_958109417_o by Jason Bacon, on Flickr 22908713_2027147174188922_1934768494_o by Jason Bacon, on Flickr...

It's not amazeballs, fabricator good but, its better than it was. Its held in there well and who ever puts the cage into the car and finish it off as they please. Learning_to_Weld-4410 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Learning_to_Weld-4411 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Stupid spot weld bit broke with...

After last night's horrific outcome, I decided I should sacrifice some metal,wire and gas and figure this whole welding thing out more. The pictures are in order of what what I was doing. Some are horrible, a few are good (?) but, I think I see some progress. Learning_to_Weld-4374 by Jason...

In other news, I didn't burn the car or garage down tonight. The welds are ugly and no where near good but, they didn't break with repeated hard blows with a hammer. I'll take that as a plus. I burnt through a few times, figured out how to not blow through the new and old metal...

Materials loaded up and ready for a trip to the zarrrrb machine. BCN_0044 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr I forgot to grab the camera but, the cage has been started. 18955115_1874972446160463_8902494293599900168_o by Jason Bacon, on Flickr 19024993_1874974159493625_8961045502191749714_o by Jason...

I decided to toss the nose on (its sitting close to where it needs to be) to get an idea of what it will look like when its together. BCN_5715 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr BCN_5723 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr BCN_5725 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr BCN_5726 by Jason Bacon, on Flickr

Another piece to the puzzle, thanks to Bastard SVT, a free Team Z radiator support. 16797619_1800002993657409_826622344870984824_o by Jason Bacon, on Flickr Let's see if I end up having to do a tube front after welding this thing in and turning things into liquid...
