UUGH!!! I can't believe how time has flown by. This car has been dragging out for WAY too long. My problem is I always buy something nice to drive so I never have motivation to get this one done. Lately I have had the itch to buy a late model Challenger. I won't let myself do it until this car...

Closing the shop was a love/hate deal. I love not having the headaches associated with running it, but I hate working for someone and not having the freedom I had before. I had the shop for about 15 years and I have to admit I got lazy. If I had worked as hard for the last two years there as I...

WOW...I can't believe it has been almost 2YEARS since my last update. After the economy died I had to close the shop. The Mustang was squeezed into my garage at home. I have still been working on it. Here are some engine pics. I was worried about the blower on a 10:1 engine so I took it off and...

Thanks for all the compliments. The wheels are 17" Saleen Speedlines. And yes they are 4 lug.

The last thing I got done was to remove all the sound deadening material from the floor. Most of it was loose and pealing. I replaced it with Dynamat type stuff. Clean Floor Dynamat Floor

Now the hard part. I completly dismantled the dash. I fixed and rewrapped the wiring. I blasted the rust from the metal frame and painted it. I cleaned all the plastic including the ducting inside and out. Rusty Dash Clean Dash Dash Installed

Rusty Blower Case Freshened Blower Case AC Box Reinstalled

With the AC box out and disassembled I cleaned everything up, removed the rust and repainted bare metal. I rebuild the box with a new evaporator, new heater core and new blower motor. Dirty Rusty Case Clean Case being reassembled Dirty Blower Case

I was out of town and have not had a chance to update. When I had the pedals out I welded up an adjustable stop for the clutch pedal. Now I can adjust it to be the same height as the brake pedal.

Nice looking car. Please post up a pic of the hood from the front. I want to see how those flames look from the front.

Keep the stock rotors. Save the money for something else. If you ever get to the point where you need better brakes go with the slotted rotors. The drilled rotors tend to crack.

If the brake light bulb and turn signal bulb are then same then the problem is in the turn signal switch. The power from the brake light switch goes through the turn signal switch before going to the brake bulbs.

You are exactly right except the rod part. They are not cast iron. They are powdered metal. A cast iron part is made by pouring or injecting molten iron into a mold. A powdered metal part is made by putting powdered metal (think sand) into a mold then pressing it with an ungodly amount of...

:bs: I would not believe that one. The only way that could happen would be if there were a little C4 hooked up to your ignition James Bond style.

Hmmm....for the price I can get these for they are probably the Chinese crap.

I had on in the shop about a year ago. It was a Mercury Marquis, but still has the 4.6 / plastic intake like the Mustang. The car was towed in. The owner said she started it in the morning and it made an awful noise. There is a little oil leaking when the tow truck drive rolls it off the truck...

How much are HID kits? I am curious because I might be a dealer for a new company. I bought one kit to check them out. The ballasts are very small....1/2 thick and a little larger than a credit card. They have kits for just about any bulb retrofit and offer 3,5,6.5,8 and10K temps.

If you have a dist with points it would be a great upgrade. If you already have an electronic distributor then it is a waste of time and money (for the pertronics).

Sure :nice:

Next I pulled the pedal assembly and AC box. I took the pedal assy apart, blasted it, repainted and reinstalled it. Then I disassembled the AC box. I did not get the box done because all the parts did not arrive. I still need the evap I got on ebay. Rusty Pedal Assy Cleaned and Painted...
