Finally got back to the project again now that the new Torino and parts are sorted out.
Cut the front strut towers out of the ’04 Mustang (definitely not up there with the most fun activities to date). After they were out, we needed to drill out spot welds and cut off what we don’t need to fit in the Torino. We also cut out the remaining pieces of the stock shock tower in the Torino. The last picture shows a quick mockup. Still need to trim off some material and determine where they have to go exactly. Very pleased with initial fitting – they actually look like they are supposed to be there. Believe it or not, the Torino and Mustang engine compartments are the exact same width (to an 1/8″), and the angle of the sheetmetal in the Torino in front of the strut tower exactly matches the Mustang so they should blend in nicely. The goal is to make it look like they were supposed to be there. Hope to get them fit in better tomorrow night.
