Original Parts Restoration Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 74 - Sand blasting and painting bumper supports and cold blue on the hardware - Decided to start tackling some of the backlog of parts I have to get sand blasted and painted. The front bumper supports were really grimy though so I fired up my new parts washer for the first time and it really impressed. I only managed to get one out of two of the bumper supports done but all of the hardware was cold blued. I spent a lot of time in the garage today and I didn't get a lot done. But what I did do looks pretty good!
Sound Deadening Install Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 73 - Ouch! Sound deadening on the foxbody is almost done... (so sharp!) - Between the fine edge of the sound deadening, razor blades, and a super sharp battery box it's really a wonder that I didn't get worse cuts than I did. But we're pretty much done with the install I think.
Quick diagram and explainer of why it's common to move the battery to the trunk in a rear wheel drive vehicle.
Battery Relocation Kit Install - Foxbody Restomod Part 72 - This battery relocation kit is too sharp! - I installed a UPR battery relocation kit in my fox body restomod project car. My thoughts on the kit are below. I screwed up quite a bit but we manage to get it done in one video.
Sound Deadening Install Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 71 - This sound deadening mat is sharp! - In this episode, we're installing the Siless sound deadening butyl mats in my fox body restomod mustang GT. This wasn't difficult to do but takes a really long time and I didn't get it done. So there will be a part 2 where we wrap it all up.
Manual Transmission Hump Kit Install - Foxbody Restomod Part 70 - Installing the hump and busting an air line! In this video I installed the LMR item LRS-7277A-K "1979-93 Mustang Manual Transmission Hump Kit". But first I had to get my other Mustangs ready for state inspections. One of my favorite air lines burst too.
Floor Pan Restoration Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 69 - (nice!) This is a milestone video. Let's take a quick look back over the project and see what we're up to. I also painted the floorpan with POR-15 rust encapsulator to get it ready for sound deadening and took a ride in my father-in-law's all original 1971 Hemi charger.
Floor Pan Restoration Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 68 - Wire wheeling the entire floor pan of my fox body restomod - I once again did a massive wire wheeling job on the restomod foxbody project. Using the wire wheel I removed the remaining crud, excess factory seam sealer, surface rust and exposed some deeper rust so that I can encapsulate it. This really put the grinder through its paces.
Brake Hard-line Install Part 4 - Foxbody Restomod Part 67 - Finishing up the hydroboost hard-line plumbing and NEW MERCH! - Finally finishing up the brake hard line installation with the Maximum Motorsports hydroboost swap tubes. I ended up also putting some other parts on the car like a brand new Motorcraft gas cap, the cleaned up door brackets, and the temporary steering wheel hub. Work got cut short due to a power outage though.
Auxito sent us some LED headlights to try out. In this video, we're doing a quick headlight bulb swap and checking out a before and after of the light pools the vehicle made. While my camera wasn't really up to the task, the difference in color and clarity was pretty impressive first-hand.
