    Thanks! I did receive my first, "Thumbs up" yesterday so that was pretty cool.

    Thanks! Yours is getting close and I cant wait to see at KK!!


    I adjusted the drivers side, front steering bump steer and the car felt a ton better! I could get on it without fear of going into the ditch! I also calibrated the Speedo and did some more Data Logs for KenB.






    Hopefully I can have the tune and alignment finished up this week. Ive been slacking on pulling the plastic pieces out and re-finishing them as Ive had too much fun driving it. Well, its been Hell Fire HOT out, so that limits my garage time as well.

    Looks great Craig, how about a rolling sound clip? Love how the dash looks stock 1984 but has an 8K tach and 160 vice 85mph Speedo.

    Still not a lot going on with the car, just driving it and data-logging for Ken. I drove it to work the other day and then met the wife downtown at a wine bar. It RIPS pretty good. Ken finally told me to get him some WOT DLs, so i did a few highway pulls. He told me to keep it under 6000, but man, from 4000 on, it pulls very fast! I "might have" seen 7, but I will neither confirm nor deny that.

    I think I need to get the matching polished front rims to match the polished rears. The tires on the fronts here, are not DOT anyway, so I would then be 100% legal.



    450 horses vs 1 Horsepower.



    I still have everything to re-do the plastic pieces, but its been too damn hot in the garage and Im enjoying just driving it. I think Ill save that project for the wintertime.

    Back in the garage to upgrade my Clutch Master.


    This packing blanket makes those pesky seat studs, disappear!


    Seems like the pedal comes off the floor, about 1/4'' and the clutch releases. Not a big deal until Im at 7200+ and I cant shift. So I talked with Tilton and he wants me to go to a 7/8 Master.


    Cam, at Cambo Built, designed this assembly using the Wilwood, reverse pedal. I like having the Hyd set-up, but if this new Master, doesnt do the trick, Ill be swapping my Cable set-up back in.



    I still need to address the plastic pieces and get the interior finished up...but its been to freakin HOT!

    So far, the pedal is A LOT better. I just have to get it back on the ground and try it out.

    I have all kinds of "Shop Rags" that the wife has given me over the years. Bed sheets make for great dust covers and ole T-shirts make for great rags.

    Its definitely a 2 person job. The reservoir mounts where the cable comes through the FW and uses the old screw that holds the CLucth cable adjuster piece. When I have to bleed it, I have to un-screw the fastener and hold the reservoir as high as I can get it. Once its all done, I can put back on the FW.


    I figured I better come up with a "pedal stop" before I re-install my assembly.


    So I did some measuring of how far the pedal swings back.


    Went to Lowes and got some 1-1/2 x 3/16 steel and made a pilot hole.


    Made it a tad longer so that I could fine tune it.


    Fugged up and took off too much. Re measured and decided I could just flip what I have.


    Cleaned it up with some acetone


    and threw on some paint


    Installed a rivet and checked the distance on more time.


    Then snapped it off and VIOLA!! A custom Pedal Stop on my custom pedal assembly.



    I had my neighbor help me bleed the new Master and when I finally got it done, the pedal felt so much better! Im excited for some dry roads so that I can get the Mustang out and about to make sure its working correctly.

    Thanks for tuning in.

    Hopefully so!

    I did manage to get to work on it some more last night.



    Not a fan of a reservoir, holding brake fluid, hanging over nice new paint, but I gotta do this to get all the air out of the system.



    I did get the dash and everything in the interior buttoned up


    But, Im missing one bolt for the rear seat belt assembly, so Ill pick one up at Fastenal later today and hopefully have it installed this evening. Thats why I left the drivers seat out. (no, I didnt restore the plastic panels yet)




    Hopefully Im banging gears tonight!!

    They were the cheapest option for my DOTs. I was debating on getting the front runners to match, but I ran out of $$$$

    Best Fathers Day ever! 2017 I took my Father and Brother in law out from St Johns, VI and it was an amazing day trip! My Father in law caught one around the same size and his is mounted over his fireplace.


    So I finished up the Mustang last night and got the rear seat (kinda) mounted. The Back part is just sitting there and not actually mounted. Under some hard braking, it fell forward. So Ill have to address that when I get home.


    My shop cat, Recee enjoys the passenger seat after she walked all over in the interior checking it out.



    Finally! I got to actually Bang some gears on the way into work today! The clutch pedal feels so much better and engages about half way into the stroke, so much freakin better!!





    Logan, Clap'd out fame, told me we are doing his 2 minute Car review, so be looking for that later today. Should be interesting...
