Thanks Guys for your comments and your input, I do appreciate it.
I did get the panels made to mount the lights, I still need to cut the old panels and install the new ones. I pulled the bumper and quarter extensions and stripped the back end and found some cancer hiding behind the bumper, so i'll make some patch panels to repair that tomorrow, and install them and the light panels at the same time. Here is a few pictures of what I got done the last couple days.

Will you be running a GT rear valance panel for the exhaust tips to stick out of?
My '68 Mustang didn't originally come with a GT rear valance panel but, I put one on it. However, '67/'68 rear valance panels differ from '65/'66, since they are notched at the bottom and don't have a hole through them.
(Not my Mustang pictured --just an example of a '68 Mustang with the notched valance panel for the exhaust tips).

When I cut the rust out of the back I discovered somewhere down the line on another restore someone put a new trunk floor in on top of the old floor. So I ordered new floor panels and waiting on them to come in.
Anyway on another note I got to looking at the shop today and another wild idea hit me. I changed the hood because the framework under the hood was shoot but the top and nose was still solid. So I decided to see what the nose of the hood would look like as a chin spoiler. I rounded the end on the passenger side some, but I think I will run the taper out a little a little more and maybe widen it a little. I also think I will cut in a lower grille and move the parking lights in about 5" or 6" and french them in.
