Sleazy's Garage
I purchased the SVE coyote swap fuel system kit from LMR and started installing some parts of it. There's a quick explainer about AN fittings and how the fuel system works. Finally, my wife helps me paint some parts of the filler neck assembly and we attempt to pew pew blue the hardware.
Fuel System Install Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 60 - Restoring the Fuel Filler Assembly and Prepping the Gas Tank on my Fox Body Restomod - Wow episode sixty! We're getting the gas tank ready to go in. A gas tank is useless without a filler neck, and you can't easily find all those parts so I've started restoring them. I think I've ordered all the parts I need minus one which is back ordered, we'll reveal next week.
Brake Hard-line Install Part 3 - Foxbody Restomod Part 59 - Installing fox body anti-moan braces and parking brake cables - I got the replacement axle hard lines from LMR, these are the stock replacement ones that expect you to have drum brakes. They work with the foxbodybrakes.com rear cobra conversion kit I bought. After installing those, I also installed the LMR anti-moan braces and finished the rear brake install with new foxbodybrakes.com parking brake cables.
Brake Hard-line Install Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 58 - Finally putting the brake pads and brake lines in on my cobra rear disc brake conversion on my fox body Mustang restomod. I also jury rigged the rear brake bracket to the upper control arm brace. A couple of channel announcements as well.
Firewall Restoration Part 3 - Foxbody Restomod Part 57 - Painting the firewall of my fox body mustang with a BRUSH 🤢 - So I finally got around to patching that extra hole I made in the floor pan. It's not pretty. But I also seam sealed and painted the whole thing with POR-15. With a brush... Not entirely sure if I like how it came out. It also made a massive mess because I didn't mask the holes. But I didn't mask them because the edges of the holes are dimpled in in such a way that I don't think it would have helped much.
It pains me to make this video but after doing some research I don't see any other way to go...
Quick short of reinstalling the brake intermediate line on my foxbody Mustang restomod. It required a union so I could install it through the sub-frame connector like the line I took off. I love that this short makes it look like I nailed the flares the first time every time when it took me like 3 or 4 tries for each one and two different flaring kits. lol
Quick short of reinstalling the brake distribution block I gutted and painted in last weeks videos.
Brake Hard-line Install Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 56 - New proportioning valve and brake lines for my fox body mustang - Now that we have the gutted brake distribution block complete, we can put it back together, install it and start installing the brake hard lines. I have to route them under my subframe connector so I ended up adding a union. I tried to do some brake line flaring but I'm absolutely certain I screwed it up. I also installed a motorsport proportioning valve but I have to cut the lines again and shorten them.
This is a short version of how to gut your fox body Mustang (or possibly other fox body vehicle's) stock brake distribution block. The block and plugs are brass. The larger plug has a rubber bumper in the middle of it. You need to either remove that plug and braze the hole shut or buy the solid plug from LMR and replace it. If you don't replace it, the brake pressure will easily pop the rubber plug out and drain your master cylinder leading to brake failure and possible catastrophe.
