in progress (newly restored bumpers, new spare tire)

the mounted wheels are rollers. the spare tire is actually a coker thin whitewall, mounted with the whitewall side facing forward.

'stang above it?

 

underhood shot?

 

There was a 64 1/2 mustang there but i am not sure if it was above the roadster at the time; i believe it spent much of the time there under a different auto.

this was a while ago, and now my roadster is somewhere else...

 

the engine compartment detail is in motion at the moment. i will try to get an updated shot when the dust settles (hopefully very soon).

"is that factory floor pans? man if so i can see why it looks like they would rust out lotsa seams unsealed looking"

I believe that they are pieces of generic vinyl sheet which was re-purposed to line the floor pans by an earlier owner.

they don't seem to be hurting anything at the moment, so i am just leaving them in for the time being.

yes, there is some surface rust, but all things considered, after over 50 years and with no top, it probably could be a lot worse than it is.
