Thanks for your help. it gives me a place to start.

My 69 coupe has factory air. Recently the a/c and heat will only blow through the defroster vent. A small volume still blows through the dash vents. Any thoughts on where to start. When I slide the control switch I still hear all the vacuum noises so I know its not a problem with the mechanical connection. Thanks

I once had what I thought was lifter noise....turned out to be loose spark plugs.

Sounds like a "cool" idea. Where did you get the thermal clutch?

Those are very nice but I am thinking seriously about these AR500 from American Racing. They are available in 15 inch and 17 inch. A modern take on the Magnum but with a bit less bling than the Foose.

Thanks. Its the one you find at most Mustang vendors. The Humphugger I think its called and it does have a hinged top. I was also very impressed with its quality.

Masonite is just a compressed saw dust type of wood. Any thin plywood type product would work for the template. Wood is better than cardboard because it provides a better guide for the knife. Just cut the carpet with a good sharp utility knife and a steady hand. I taped it with a double sided duct tape to the kick panel. The floor mats are cut the same way using my mats as the template. I also cut the new carpet mats slightly different from the original mats to make them fit even better. The carpet is an indoor/outdoor carpet so the edges dont fray or unravel. Taking your time to make a nice accurate template for the doors will make for a better finished product and quick and easy replacements as they start showing wear.

Just finished a cheap and simple upgrade. I always liked the carpeted door kick panels on the delux trim Mustangs. Mine were getting beat up by the seat belt and feet. I made a template of the kick panels from masonite, and for about $10 in carpet from Lowes and some double sided duct tape I did the doors. There was enough left over to make new floor mats for front and rear using my rubber mats as a template. I like how they blend in and look nicer than the rubber mats. They are cheap enough to just replace when to worn and dirty. Once the templates are made it takes less than 15 min. to make all new ones.
