Now that the engine bay is painted I can finish off the front vent area and front guards.
Here the area was masked off and a couple of coats of 2 pack primer applied.

| Drivers side vent non the inside of the car was perfect no rust all original. This is unusual as they mostly rust out on Mustangs. |
The original rusted vent, not so bad but might as well replace, save any water leaks and rust problems in the future.
 |
| The passenger vent had to be replaced with the standard fix supplied by most resatoration suppliers as this one had rusted out. |
The vent area is painted and clear coated so that the guards can go back on.
At this stage the guards just receive guide coats of colour because I still need to block back the whole car on the outer surfaces.
Stripped to bare metal before painting
The inner surface of the bonnet is all painted and clear coated ready to go back on soon.
Originally the factory put duct tape on the top of the vent panel that is covered with the guard, I think it was there to protect that area as it is very tight fit and the guard rubs against it.
See original photos below when I removed the guards for the first time.
Front headlight frames and buckets are painted and ready as well now.
Got this new personalized number plate for the car once it gets on the road.
