Today was a surprisingly cool day and a great opportunity to work out some details on the mustang. The top photo shows some tools I used and the most helpful was the spring loaded punch. Simply press on the handle and it punches a nice neat dint in the metal to keep the drill bit from walking. I started out transferring my measurements for the MUSTANG letters to the repaired area on the lower part of the fender. Thankfully a friend turned me on to Southwest Classic Mustangs who had a template or I would have been working on that for quite while. Next I set the door mirrors and something new for me was a convex passenger side mirror. Very nice! One particular point of interest is the photo at the dash which shows an original hole for the fog light switch. Notice the flat spot to one side which indicates a factory installation not an add on. Since my passenger door was twisted and beyond repair, I found an original replacement, then transferred the hole for the door courtesy lights. All these details will help make it easier to paint later.
