Not a wise thing for that person to do though. Ford doesn't take that stuff lightly

Very cool. Ask him if he wants to make a few extra bucks and walk mine down the line. I'm sure his foreman/woman won't care

Matt I think what you have there is the front firewall of your stang the left hole is for the blower motor and the right side when "finnished"would support the brake booster...I could be wrong but thats my best guess.Your lucky to have some one watch over your stang...you have a good friend .Tell your friend "Thanks " from me up here in Canada for doing such a great job .I love driving my modern day classic.

You're a lucky man, Matt. You got to see a rare sight: your own car being assembled literally bit-by-bit. Very cool. Buy your friend a round (when he gets off work, not before then ). Tell him the folks with April 11th week build dates appreciate his efforts!

Oh yeah, I hope I was the coupe right behind ya... number 3463!
