Well I got to work on it today for about six hours. I picked up two decent fendes from a buddy for free and I went to "pull-a-part" and picked up a front bumper cover that was in ok shape for a 89 mustang.
Another guy I know does fab work on mustang and he made me a trick power radiator support and new tubular front bumper bar all out of chromoly.
I picked up a nice All Star chevy universal radiator that fit like it was made for this car. I am moving the over flow tank to the trunk and running a 3/8" hose from the rad to the trunk, behind the tire. Just in case.

Now its looking like a car again.

Get a load of this picasso.

Well I am just about done with the repairs. It looks great. I'm buffing the hood today.
I drove the car last night and put about 25 miles on it and the temp is right around 200 degrees. If I sit still for a long time it will creep up to about 210. I only have one small 12" perma cool fan on it. There is not enough room for both. I got the new Meziere water pump motor on it also.
Now the starter is starting to act up. I need to get one asap next week.

The car drives perfectly fine. I'm happy.
