The car was easily turned around with the kind help from my friend's wife (!) and a couple of men. As I'm starting to restore the passenger side of the car, it is great to see how they made it in Ford's Dearborn assembly plant 40 years ago. Note the picture on the wall to the right of the windows. That fellow in the picture is most obviously the reason for this (and many other) Mustang being so rusty. What is he doing ? He's posing for the camera while he should be spraying rust-preventive paint over the body ! Read the full story.
Actually the passenger side was in better condition that the driver side.
The cutting and drilling and preparations take a lot of time. The work was pretty much the same on this side as it was on the driver side. Due to my experience I had the courage to cut bigger pieces and save some time and a lot of cutting discs.
After a week the new inner rocker and torque box was installed. A huge gap is waiting for the floor pans. The frame rail has been grinded and primered. My subframe connector is well exposed in this picture.
