I picked up a Mustang ii coil over front suspension and four link rear to get the chassis started once I wrap up this phase.
shaved door Looks like previous owner stored rubber boots between bed and cab bear claw latch post installed, will have to blend into upholstery due to the door inset into the cab Can't escape the rust, six different colors but no protection from the backside
A variety of methods: paint stripper, Bahco scraper, Pneumatic sanders, orbital and Roloc, 80 grit. Then I go over with DA , 80 grit to finish up. Yes it is time consuming as the fender I did Saturday had 6 colors and a couple of primer coats, probably 2 hours on it.
I considered getting someone to do vapor blasting but too far along now. I have a sand blaster that makes a 2 hr mess after 10 minutes of blasting but that could be harbor freight junk
I really like the "Cab Cart" you fabricated out of wood. I already have a set of four wheels so I am off to the local lumber yard to purchase a small pile of wood to make the cart. The technique for lifting the cab looks like a winner. It appears to be a proven method, tested by you and other (Dennis-) FTE members! Thanks!

Another great option is a wooden pallet and some casters, then just build a small box on top of it.

That's a ton of work you've done there. About 20 min from my house is a do it yourself blasting yard and I think it's about $110 per hour quick and clean. That's how I did my 64, but I've always wondered how a wire wheel would perform.
I had a fender repair section floating around so I decided to shoot some color on it since it had all the contours. This is just base coat. Seems like I'm a long way off but it helps to have a goal upright after drying color
cab set on for engine fitment. 9 1/2" clearance at rocker. 4 link in position, need to finish boxing. I will need to raise the bed floor about 3 inches
I was able to locate another grille to scavenge metal from after numerous attempt to repair mine. Then moved back to the dash mods and rust repair (yes, rotted below the switches).
Added detail, more trouble than worth Headlight surround patched. Planning to pancake the hood
I did get the 4.6 set in place last year.I still need to finish transmission crossmember. 4.6 DOHC, hope it not obsolete by the time I finish. I attempted the steering column when I discovered the dash was rusted out
