Blue08

Hey Buckeye, I also purchased some LEDs similar to yours for the brake lights because I noticed the 1.5 volt drop when hitting brakes and signals also. And due to my mustang being stuck in the shop to have it's 13 something leaks fixed, I am unable to test for the answer to my question which is: When you switched your rear lights to LEDs, did you also have to switch over your flasher terminal over to an electric one? Or were you able to use the one used with the incandescents?

Just a quick question going back to your dash and gauges. The dimmer switch with the LED's.... I purchased the LED kit that was one level cheaper then yours, and you said yours was too bright, I feel mine is still dark and dim. I disassembled the entire gauge cluster, repainted flat white, put in new blue filters, cleaned up fogged lenses and it is still pretty dim. My question was how bright is too bright, and did you ever get the dimmer function to work with the LEDs? I remember there was several suggestions, wondering if any of them worked or if you tried any? Thanks in advance Buckeye!

http://www.hipoparts.com/1965-73-ford-mustang-led-gauge-light-conversion-kit/ Found this kit awhile back, haven't ordered it yet due to spending on other, more important things like brakes and a new battery. But it seems really convenient to just swap them over and not have to mess with anything else. I'll be getting the stock "coke bottle green" color one. Believe it was the "extreme series"

Finally!!! That was like Christmas. :santa: So quick it didn't even squeal, very nice!

You sir, are too brilliant for your own good. The oil pan looks amazing.

I have a question for you buckeye~ I noticed you also have nothing over the gas tank and have the whole trunk stripped down. My car was missing everything in the trunk other then the thick, I'm guessing was a sound padding? over the tank, which was soaked with rat pee and still wet after 20 years... which I quickly disposed of... So I don't really know what it's suppose to look like. I was thinking a stainless steel diamond plate trunk would be nice, and seeing you make all this custom stuff for your car is inspiring me to want to try and make it. Any ideas on what you're going to do? Also any updates? I'm really excited about your car! how soon til you do a burn out video? :w00t: just kidding... kind of... maybe? I'm scared to try with mine because I didn't rebuild anything from the tranny to the back :(

This is my first forum type thing ever! I stumbled upon it while trying to figure out how to hook up my throttle to the new carb and as soon as i saw you fixing up your car Buckeye I knew I was eventually going to have to join and share too, seeing how you're fixing everything is extremely inspirational, and I check constantly for new updates and renewed inspiration! My '69 convertible was parked over 20 years ago, hasn't moved since, got put under a tarp and at some point had rats move in and destroy everything, wires, carpet... surprisingly not the leather seats... So I've been doing tons of repairs and make overs on everything also. Up til this project all I've ever done to a car was an oil change, and knew nothing of how to take apart or fix anything on a car so I've been learning as I go. But back to the "shock tower reinforcement" ... this is why my dad parked it 20 years ago, have any of you had this problem before? Or seen a shock tower this bad?
