 Well removed all fenders and bumper and found front right frame rail support rotted out and the fun began, went crazy looking for a front frame support from a donor car and when I was ready to give up I remembered a old Mustang salvage yards "Driftwood Mustang" I use to visit 20+ years ago I though he might of gone out of business due to the economy. But neverless he had a few of these front frame supports on hand.

Then it came to second challenge began to remove all inner fender aprons and here is what I was up to "upper cowl corrosion on both sides" and guess what these are not available or being reproduced.

 Luckly the center portion of the cowl was in good shape
