Sleazy's Garage
Like many others, after seeing these on brew2l I pre-ordered them and then totally forgot about it. I've been burnt on quite a few pre-orders and kickstarters in my time so I'm pumped that these turned out to be legit.
Starter Relay - Foxbody Restomod Part 87 - Finally getting the new starter solenoid installed in the fender area on some nut-serts/rivnuts. Also re-painting the door one more time after the last time was such a huge failure.
Decided to take a more modern approach to the drivetrain in the mustang restomod...
Before and after tap test putting siless sound deadener under the roof of my fox body mustang restomod project car. #foxbody #mustang #restomod
Installing the Battery - Foxbody Restomod Part 86 - Yes, this is a full video on just installing a battery into the resto-mod mustang. Look, I know this is a super simple thing, but this car hasn't had a battery installed in over 20 years! It's a big deal to me. But, it's not just the battery, I also ended up installing a bus bar near the front of the car and securing the battery cables with some really nice rubber clamps. Technically both the positive and negative ends of the battery have been completely and properly terminated!
Fuel Pump Wiring - Foxbody Restomod Part 85 - Wiring up the Aeromotive fuel pump kit in my fox body restomod project but I'll probably have to adjust either the mounting location or the hardware I used at some point. You can also see the miserable job I did with the seam sealer on the door. And finally I tried putting down some SEM trim black just to see what would happen and it had a reaction with some of the other paint that was on the door.
Battery Disconnect Install - Foxbody Restomod Part 84 - Connecting the battery disconnect and prepping for the megagigawatts - It's the middle of the winter here in the north-east US but somehow the weather was beautiful, around 60F. I was able to push the fox body out of the garage and work on the electrical system. Installed the Flaming River FR1003-2 big switch and lever kit (not sponsored). Ran into some questionable things though, can you help me out?
Removing Window Tint and Sealing Seams - Foxbody Restomod Part 83 - Back on the Mustang project today, we're trying to seam seal the door and remove the tint before the window goes back in.
Once again, I can't believe how far this restoration has come. I know it's a little late but let's take a look back at the progress we made in 2023.
Are these wheel spacers on my 2019 F-150 XLT a BAD IDEA? Doing the world's messiest oil change and correcting the stance of my F-150 by putting some 1.5" wheel spacers on. Yes, I know all the arguments against using spacers. I did research it before doing this and I believe for the way I use my truck they are safe. Do your own research and decide what's right for you and your vehicle. I added them for purely cosmetic reasons.
