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.
Reinstalling the Dash Harness - Foxbody Restomod Part 82 - I can't believe how far this restoration has come. Finally putting the restored dash harness back into the car. This is the first step towards getting the car re-energized. I also put some more sound deadener in under the roof and on the wheel wells.
More Rust Conversion - Foxbody Restomod Part 81 - Decided to take a break from working on the doors and instead start tackling some last minute rust conversion before the winter really hits hard. I also cleaned up the ceiling and inside wheel wells to get ready for sound deadening. Everything was going OK until I decided to rip the band-aid off and finally look at that hatch rust. After a quick wire wheeling, the results were very upsetting.
Every year I seem to make Halloween decorations out of car junk. This year it's another tire.
Y'all know when the holiday season comes around the garage goes off the rails and we make some silly projects. This year is no different. Slight cringe alert, Lubracio said he's bored so let's make him a friend (programmable face ghost).
Heater Box Reinstallation - Foxbody Restomod Part 80 - It's been over a year since I rebuilt the heater box assembly in my foxbody Mustang but now that the firewall is completed, we can reinstall it. But first I have to make sure the blower motor works. And of course, yes there is a bit of work on the driver's side door thrown in as well, but this isn't a door window!
Doors Part 4 - Foxbody Restomod Part 79 - In this super quick video, I removed the passenger door hinges, and sand blasted the driver's side hinges. I also vacuumed out the door and sprayed a little more rust reformer inside of it to prepare it for primer.
