Dash Cluster Restoration - Foxbody Restomod Part 115 - I realized my dash cluster was looking pretty bad. It was mostly because the lens was in terrible shape. So in this video I took the whole thing apart, cleaned it aggressively, did a terrible job repainting some of the lines, a better job painting some other things, replaced the lens with a really slick replacement, replaced the bulbs with LEDs, and tested all of them. A lot of work that will likely be replaced with a Dakota digital dash at some point in the future. It's better than it was!
Temporary Seat Install - Foxbody Restomod Part 114 - I'm pushing to test drive the car but saving all of my money for a transmission. That means I'm going to install a temporary racing bucket so I can move the car around. Finally another opportunity to fire up the welder! Feel free to light me up in the comments for my craptastic metal fab work here. I'm just pumped for the first sit in the car in 24 years!
Assorted Parts Restoration - Foxbody Restomod Part 113 - It's my yearly "shut up and build" episode. We're cleaning up and reinstalling the bumpers, reinstalling the fuel filler door, fixing a mistake from an earlier video, and preparing more parts for installation later.
Beginning Re-assembly - Foxbody Restomod Part 112 - This is a long video, if ten people make it through the whole thing I will be surprised.😂 Installing the O2 sensors, bumper supports, headers (again), steering shaft, temporary steering wheel, etc. etc. etc. This was completely filmed during my 1 week vacation, about 2-3 hours a morning.
Cooling System Install - Foxbody Restomod Part 111 - Installing the SVE radiator, SVE cooling fans, SVE overflow tank, SVE radiator hold down bracket, Power by the Hour coyote swap fan relay, heater hoses, running all the wires, and building all the harnesses required to ensure my fox body coyote swap keeps its cool. We did stop short of putting the upper and lower rad hoses because I bought the one for the KRC power steering pump but I changed my mind and will be using the PBH speed drive system instead.
Permanent Coyote Wiring Part 5 - Foxbody Restomod Part 110 - Alright, lets finish up the "permanent" wiring videos for a bit with this one. We're putting the 0-gauge wiring up to the PDB, making some loomed harnesses, and re-installing the starter motor with a powerbythehour shim.
Permanent Coyote Wiring - Foxbody Restomod Part 109 - I know wiring videos are boring, and this one is cut short in a weird place, but this is documentation and it's a part of the project. There is some sneak peeks at the end product though... I really appreciate you folks sticking with me!
Bellhousing Installation - Foxbody Restomod Part 108 - Alright let's get this dang albatross off of our neck! Today we're installing the T-56 bellhousing without dropping the engine in our coyote swapped foxbody mustang. We have to loosen the headers and the motor mount bolts a little but you absolutely can do it without lowering the engine out.
It's time for our yearly reflection process to figure out why my YouTube channel sucks and how we should pivot for the future...
Installing the Clutch - Foxbody Restomod Part 107 - Welcome back to my restomod documentation! In this video we're finally putting the clutch in and making another attempt at squeezing the bell housing/scattershield in. This video was filmed over the first three months of this year. It's been rough but garage time is when we get to decompress. Let's try to get over the hump of this project!
