I’ll check all grounds again, thank you! And thanks for the “cheese grater” reference.. with this BT-100 I knew exactly what you were talking about! 6, last week, and I want my lawyer

Huge thanks! I keep going back to the battery, but cranking amps (to me) was always the signal of a good or bad battery. Good to know I need to dig a little deeper in the future. Any idea how I can test for this? Thanks! I didn’t think I was crazy.

I’ve been having a drain in my battery for the last month, and can’t figure out where it’s coming from. Car was perfectly fine for 6 months, then spent 6 months in the paint shop. I’ve checked the grounds for all lights, can’t find an issue. The car is a 1969 Mustang, American Autowire Harness installed throughout, 100amp alternator, battery is installed in the trunk with 2ga wire running to a fender mounted start solenoid. When I test for a parasitic draw, I get 6.4 on the 200mA setting. Does this mean 6.4mA? If so, then that seems low enough to be a non-issue. https://imgur.com/a/EwH8TcN What I’ve done: - Tested the battery at home on my Schumacher BT-100 and took it to the local auto parts store, all good - Ensured the alternator is charging at 14.1v, removed the negative cable while running and the car stays on, all good - installed a master disconnect switch that cuts the battery voltage from the entire car, still get voltage drop overnight - ensured the primary ground is clean and secured - removed the negative cable overnight, voltage still drops Can this still be a battery issue even though the cranking amps read normal? thanks!

Still waiting for a chance to get out there and take some glamour shots, but I am enjoying the color! https://photos.app.goo.gl/fCJcSjwap4gT6hD88 I've since added the lime green stripe on the hood (decal).. Im still undecided

Got a bit for sale, I’d rather these items go to a fellow 69 owner instead of CL hoarder. All prices are without shipping. Help me finance my MTF headliner purchase ;-). (Headliner bows might be spoken for) https://imgur.com/a/oxbeQ0v Message me for a price

How convenient. I have the set from my 69 Fastback that I was about to post. Not sure what the going rate is for the set, what’s your offer? And where would they be shipped to? I don’t have the boomerang shaped things.. someone grabbed those locally https://imgur.com/a/oxbeQ0v

This is exactly what I needed, thank you. I appreciate the explanation. I'm glad Machspeed posted the video above, I couldn't find a comparison anywhere and there was nothing on your site about the competitions quality. I wish the youtuber above would have posted a testimonial on your site. Solid question. Can i still use them if I dont have the fold down seat?

Thanks all! MTF, if you'd like i can send a message on your website.. but what sets the MTF brand apart from the TMI?

Cheers! Thanks Hux. I do not have the fold down seat in mine, so it looks like i wasted $240+

Looking for some help on the interior pieces... I have THESE, but no idea where they go I need THESE, but no idea who makes the best "re-pop"? Reviews on CJPP make all of them look like garbage, leaning towards THESE from Stang-Aholics Also want the one piece headliner (only because glass is already in), but not sure which to go with. TMI - I do not like the UNISUEDE and I'm not sure how the VINYL will look.. has anyone installed either? Do you have pictures, or can you comment on the fitment? MTF - I do like the MTF version, but I can't justify spending $200 more Are the one piece headliners insulated? will insulation fit? Thanks!

As the title says, looking for the rear quarter trim panels for my '69. These are the interior pieces that you'd rest your arm on if you were sitting in the back seat. The re-pops are garbage, if anyone has a set of the originals let me know what you'd charge to ship to 93940. Thanks!

ha! lies! I've seen your work. Congrats on a very successful business btw

Thanks MTF! This worked. I was able to grab 2 threads with the tool and pull it up just enough to grab a couple more threads.. all sandwiched together now

I cant get a tap in there without the thing spinning, but i might be able to get enough of the threads to re-seat it. Thanks! for some reason never thought about the re-seat

Got it, thank you. I do have the leftover paint from them spraying it, I'll apply a bit with a small brush

I do have a dremel with a grinding bit.. I'll try that before breaking out the big guns. And yeah, I'll have the paint shop touch it up before reinstalling the rivnut (thanks for the proper term, couldn't remember what they were called!)

Got the car back from paint today, went to install the louver and one of the screws gripped and then kept spinning, chipped the paint real good! I had to pull up on the screw with a pair of needle noses while unscrewing to get it out. Problem is, now I can't get the insert out at all. I tried drilling it, it just spins. I tried reinserting the screw and pulling up, nada. Thankfully I have a new install kit (once I get this out), and I can take the car back to the shop to fix the paint.. I'm just at a loss on how to get this thing out! Any suggestions?

Just got the call that the car is ready for pickup today! If i think that the bodyman did amazing work, is it customary to tip him? how much? total job just under $7k

Silicone based or white lithium for rubber. Both will penetrate the outer layer of the butyl (without wearing it down) and prevent the squeaking. Do not use petroleum based lubricants on rubber, it WILL cause premature break-down. Poly bushings are stronger long term, but they will squeak a lot more if not properly lubricated. For poly, use petroleum or oil based

Not the owner of this thread, but i did relocate my battery to the trunk of my car. Went with the Odyssey PC925 and a proper mount (no free acid inside, no need for a box) https://photos.app.goo.gl/Pb5MfFMoKDzjQFoi6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/BZvBPuuSX9HWeZtM8 ignore the loose wires, this picture was taken in the middle of wiring the taillights

Gorgeous color, absolutely stunning! Did the MTF headliner include the visors and sail panels? I need to order mine

Great to know! Moving to NC pretty soon and I have a feeling I'll need it out there, thank you! No problem cutting the holes, just making sure I won't need the old mounting hole, thank you!

Thanks for bringing this back from the dead! Question for anyone that has installed the Vintage Air System The firewall on my 69 has been completely sealed off where the old heater box came in, the metal was cut out and a patch welded in. https://photos.app.goo.gl/4czR47scN4dCVpgMA All of the hoses and old air "distribution box" are gone. https://photos.app.goo.gl/5ayueu8MMRmUbzPf6 I do have the A/C style dash with all vents in place (Bluetooth receiver currently in the front vent spot). https://photos.app.goo.gl/5Zq9R75dMvoveE1q7 Based off the above post, it looks like my situation is ideal for the Vintage Air system, seems like a complete standalone unit. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks yall! looking forward to it!
