Sleazy's Garage
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.
Doors Part 3 - Foxbody Restomod Part 78 - Rust encapsulating my driver's side door - In this video I cleaned up the legendary rust on the window frames and sprayed rust encapsulating on the door itself.
Paying Tech Debt Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 77 - Did we just hire a new garage employee? - It's raining and it's going to be for a few days so in this video I'm finally getting back around to some stuff I put aside.
Doors Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 76 - Hammering out a 25+ year old dent. Autobody folks, please look away... - Continuing the driver's side door restoration. Removing the latch, hinges, pushing out a dent that's been there for at least 25 years, and starting to remove rust. There are a lot better ways to remove dents than this.
Doors Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 75 - Taking apart the fox body mustang doors for restoration - In this video we first check out the bumper support from last week, then start taking apart the driver's side door to prep it for paint. Getting the glass out and removing the original run channel molding was certainly a learning experience.
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.
