This GT had more rust issues than expected, thus more time.

I would assume that the rust problems took parts cars for the new metal Bill, do you know how many it took if it did?

Trevs been busy with the red 6bbl GT for the last 8 months or so.

Agreed Charles, and I do believe that Bills car here is a side gig for him too.

My move to Florida isn’t affecting the restoration.

I will upload some “teaser” photos. View attachment 745335 View attachment 745336 View attachment 745337 View attachment 745338 View attachment 745339 View attachment 745340 View attachment 745341 View attachment 745342 View attachment 745343 View attachment 745344

One parts car for the stub frame, part of the rocker panel, core support and some non-sheet metal parts.

NOS quarter panels, fenders, one rocker panel, rear outer wheel housings, valance panels and other parts are/have been used to restore the GT along with NOS bumpers, moldings, grille, tail lamps and more.

I have been collecting NOS parts for a 71 GT since 1995.

Great project and great pictures, thanks for sharing.
About stub frame bushings... do you have any detailed pics of a rear ones?
No bushings on the center attaching point or am I wrong?

Update:

The Mechanical restoration is getting close to being completed. The goal is for the car to go into the paint booth in April and to have it ready for Carlisle, 2026. Fingers crossed on that.

Here are some photos of the detail going into the engine restoration.
