1966 Mustang - Initial Align

The floors, roof and inner structures are finished and it is time to do the initial lining up of the body panels. Factory original Ford metal when available is used. We use a very limited amount of imported metal because of the inconsistent quality.

The fenders, hood, head light covers, trunk lid, doors etc are all attached as we begin to tweak and refine the panel gaps.

Leveled out and supported we have it completely aligned.

As seen we have the gaps pretty good but they still need refining.

Ford was not known for fit and finish but we will refine to our liking.

Having consistent 3/16th gaps as our goal along with all the panels being level to one another is vital.
