very nice. I have a mustang that I hope to start on in about a year, so I would be more than happy to look at any more picture that you post.

im going to cut them off leaving only a 1/4 inch lip and instead of stock bolts im going to use button head stainless 8th inch allen heads with nuts on the back side of the new upper panel for a ultra clean look.
