Finally buttoning up the hydroboost plumbing and getting the power steering and power brakes to work. By the end, the car is completely transformed!!!... and squeaky?
Wow, video 150! Home stretch folks! I don't feel comfortable that I can drive this car on the road without power steering and power brakes. To get there we need to install the PBH Speed Drive system which moves the alternator and makes a place for a power steering pump. So we'll do that now and prepare for the hydroboost plumbing in the next video.
Transforming my "Car Shaped Object" into an actual bonafide coyote swapped Foxbody Mustang GT that's just about drive-able on the road! This video is long, its huge, and its full of progress. If that doesn't excite you then I'm all out of ideas. And apologies again for my shift-boot hissy fit, must've been having a bad day or something.😅It gets replaced with the Daniel Carpenter version in the next video.
Carpet, Quarter Glass, and Weatherstripping - Foxbody Restomod Part 148
Just got my seats, tried them out with a quick ride up the road. I'm working on a massive video to wrap up most of the reinstallation.
The fenders have some surface rust, in this video we're grinding it down to some clean borders, full sand and wipe down, and giving them both three coats of rust reformer, 3 coats of UPOL oxford white paint, and 3 coats of POR-15 clear. Luckily most of the treated area will never be seen. This will do until we do the actual body work on the car, but time is running out!
I was supposed to work on the fenders but other things caught my attention. My ADHD is screaming again but in this video we install some wiring, 3d print a shifter knob so we can install an SVE short throw shifter, unpack the carpet, fix the rip in the front bumper, zip tie some wiring to the car etc. etc.
After many years of hand-wringing, complaining, sketchy window handling, and run channel molding hell, we finally get to sit in this car with doors on it while the engine is running! Huge milestone but it also means we don't have to do any more door-centric videos.
Finally just busting out the last bit of work on the passenger door. I really need to get these doors behind me.
In this video we're completely finishing the prep of the window surround in one video on the scrub side door. And we're attempting to replace the spark plugs but we hit a pretty bad problem.
