Not a lot done this weekend as there was things to do around the house.

I did get the fan brackets removed and got the oil cooler installed. Got the plug wires on.(I hope number one is where I think it is)

Then I cleaned up the shithole my garage has become. Folded up the cherry picker and threw out a bunch of now empty boxes.

Started a…[Read more]

Jack, my hood hinges are not drilled and bolted, yet. Brilliant idea. I will be doing that.

🤔🙄😁🤣

No, the rear was a bolt in. The MustangII was just a rebodied Pinto. I use three different sets of wheels. My Cragar Truspokes, 14”, push the tires right to the edge of the fenders. The 14” Fairmont wheels require a 1” spacer to clear suspension components and then fit nicely underneath. The 15” Mustang police wheels with the race tires fit rea…[Read more]

Very nice. I like the new arrangement.

Yes, Jack. Remove the three at the grille and the three at the rear all the bolts under the fender and lift. I was doing it so often and some of those nuts were a bear to get to that I went with the rivet nuts. With a small impact all those bottom bolts are removed quite quickly.

Looking beautiful, Jack. I really like what you’ve done with the dash.

Ed, I’m still working on input.

Another rainy day to spend in the garage.

I got the cooling fan mounted.

Trimmed the wings…got it as narrow as possible…

Trial body fit…Had to whittle a bunch out of the grille shell…

Looks like it belongs in there

It’s a bit wide at the front…

Going to take it apart again and remove the upper fan mounts. We’ll try zip…[Read more]

Well it took all week to get the upper hose in place. I found the perfectly shaped hose but it was a larger diameter. I installed bushings so it would fit but the increased outer diameter made it impossible to slide on next to the bypass hose and get a clamp on it. I finally said screw it and pulled it all apart and ground part of the water pump…[Read more]
