Ok this is what I was told yesterday from BonSpeed on the wheels the rear's are done and they got held up on the front's because they needed the 19" hoops that were on backorder. they have them now and are going to get the wheels together and shiped out asap they told me that they would be shipping by no later than next Wed. they did tell me before that they were on backorder but they expected them earlyer but they have them now. so all is good I can wait one more week.
as far as the car goes here is an up date I worked a bit on the body making all the mounts and glassing the underside of the rear section. I also worked on the door to fit it to the car and glass all the mounting points to it. as far as the nose I made the mounts for the fog lights and the grill and glassed in the top section where it meets the hood. the hood vent is done and I was able to get the hood in primer it just needs finish and paint. I will be getting the parts back on the car soon to do the final fit. here are some pictures of the progress. it does not look like much because most of the work is stuff that never gets seen but takes a lot of time to get it done rite D.

Last night I was finaly able to work on the car a bit I got the front end in primer so I could see where it all needs work. with it in all differant colors it was to hard to see what needed to be done. I just set the parts on the car and got some pic's none of them are bolted up they were just sitting there. in the rear pic's you can see where I made the mounting flandges for the Mustang windows. here are the pic's fron last night.

Man you are doing a great job
I think I read that you are planing on painting the 1/4 window area body color.... May I suggest that once you have the car toghether, that you photoshop the 1/4 window area both body color and black. I think it might look better black since I think it will look like it flows more. I hope you don't mind me just making a suggestion.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing your car in Daytona.

that would be great! thanks. I have thought about it and have not decided what I want to do with it yet on one hand the black I think would look good but then it would still look like the stock Fiero window and with that I would have just wasted a lot of time and effort to do the Mustang windows. I have looked at a lot of cars and the Mustang kind of sums it up the way I think I want it where it is painted the body color but if you could photoshop it it would be cheeper and faster than painting it to see. I will hopefully have the whole car in primer soon and that will give me a good indication of what it will look like all one color. I will keep you posted.
