I debated about filling the factory holes in the inner fenders because I want an "old truck" look, not a smoothie street rod look. But I finally decided that, since I will be driving it in all weather, I don't want water entering the engine compartment through all those holes. So today was spent filling holes, clearancing the lower aprons around my Mustang control arms, and hammering all the edges straight. Unfortunately, the previous owner had nicely painted the skirts, so it ruined the paint job. I will rattle-can them when I'm done.

He had a heart attack! Three clogged arteries.  Today at the funeral I noticed that his mom had scar down the middle of her chest from apparently heart surgery!
My face never regained the feeling, I have a triangle shape from right eye to lip that is semi numb. Upon touching it, I get a tingly feeling. It sucks but I am thrilled that is all that happened! Believe me, I feel blessed I have this reminder of how blessed I am. I made a key chain out of the very drill bit that did it as a reminder.
