Got a little more detailing work done in the engine bay. Carried the light-to-dark color fade through the tops of the inner fenders and radiator support.

Oh heyllll no... lol.
I tied the frames, and it went to the owner's house to fit the powertrain before I did the filler and blocking. It's a close friend of mine - a barter deal for long term storage on one of my cars. He's got a 5.0L/WCT5/ 8.8 going into it. It needed a different export brace and some reinforcement and mods on the firewall to drop that all in. Car is a Futura, so it's loaded too: 3sp wipers, console, buckets, everything you could get on a '61 Falcon...lol.
A street racing friend of mine does have a '61 that's a full chassis car. They are great platforms for that. But Fords are not my cup of tea.
 
This week I ordered the correct dark blue convertible top for my 67 Barracuda. With a little luck and LOTS of searching I finally found a 1967 Plymouth color/trim book and able to match the sample to a 1967 dark blue swatch.

Dragged the Imperial up to the garage... Messed with the doors and trunk to get them open, spread liberal mothballs, and started pulling the 440.
