The car came like this along with many many boxes when we took it off of the truck.

We soon removed the fiberglass body and put the frame up on jack stands to work on.

We then started working on getting the aluminum panels to fit correctly and drilled the holes for riveting.

Sweet ride, I am going to purchase a Factory 5 MKIII as soon as my mustang is paid off. I ordered the dvd and info and LOVE everything I seen, looks like sooo much fun to build and to piss off middle aged men in corvettes with!! I am considering a 32Valve 4.6 mod motor, tremec 6-speed with an 8.8 trac lok w/3.73:1 gears.
