Just a touch of makeup...

Working steady all morning, Mike and I were able to place the bumper and left fender on the EV. The look of the body parts are not in the best condition, but it looks more like a car since the new additions. After making adjustments to the components, the body lines of the mustang smoothed out and didn’t look as jagged and bent out of shape. Since the burgundy fender for the right side didn’t fit properly, Mike and I decided, along with Mr. Butler’s approval, to postpone putting on the fender in hopes that this weekend we can procure enough money to buy one that better fits the car. This Saturday, we are planning to take the EV to a mustang car show in Eden to display our hard work. There we plan to ask for donations towards the car in hopes that people will support our cause. Since the school’s budget cut, we are running short on our savings and are finding it hard to buy the little here and there pieces that we need.

After finishing what we could of the body work, Mike and I proceeded in placing the interior back into the car. So far we’ve managed to put in the carpet, console, seat belts, door panels, rear seat, glove box, shifter boot, floor trim near the bottom of the doors, and speaker panels.

Looks like a real car now!
