Loaded up a custom tune for the Sniper unit, then went for a drive with the local Mustang Club. 
Did not realize the route was going to take all day, ended up putting 225 miles on the car!

New windshield then had it detailed, paint chips filled in, and ceramic coated. 
Not bad for a 10+ year paint job. And it's amazing how much a new windshield changes the look of the car. 
 

Took the door off....
 

I was able to remove the old switch, it actually fell apart in pieces! 
While I wait for parts to arrive, I've rigged up a stop light switch I had laying around, and used a band clamp around the steering column. 
It's actually working great! Maybe I'll just leave it this way? :)
 

I had this issue on my '68. The root cause was that my clutch pedal support bushings were worn out to the point where the pivot shaft had worn into the metal. This was causing the brake pedal to move around. I had to replace the clutch pedal support with one from an automatic transmission car, and now the original mechanical switch works fine.
On my '70, I had to install one of the Wilwood proportioning valves as I went with 4 wheel disc brakes.  I have a pressure switch, works every time.  I like this setup much better.

Here is the final product.. the top pannels are held on with magnets, so I can easily reconfigure it.

I went with this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SDM-PCE106-1007
Height wise it was fine with a stock manifold (351c) and a summit carb.  The adjustment holes were off, and I had to drill new holes on the base plate.  I think it looks good installed.

While I waited.... I took care of some surface rust then painted the floor with some Eastwood rust encapsulator. 
Then I did the following for heat and soundproofing. 
1. Sound Deadner - pick your favorite brand. I had some left over from a past project. 
2. Decoupling - I used "Design Engineering Under Carpet Lite" (Carpet Lite)
3. ACC's Essex Carpet with the Mass Backing. It's also molded, and worked great. (Mass Backing)
Also, If your going to tackle something like this - do yourself a favor and purchase  10 inch heavy duty scissors, they cut thru all these products, and made the carpet install a breeze. 

 

RockAuto had the best price on carpet kits.

Catching up on some mini projects while I’m home for the holidays. I have my LED tail light assembly‘s together, and did some quick checks of my tail light wiring harness, and connections, to make sure everything was working OK.
everything seems to be working well, I just need to get an LED flasher, to check out my sequential tail lights.
You will probably notice my powder coated tail light housings, that’s keeping with my all black trim theme. Should be pretty cool.

Hey guys a bot hit the site and I had tech support take care of it.  The donation amount is busted and always shows that amount.  Currently the ads don't cover the costs anymore.  It's close but not quite there.   So anything you donate will sit in the PayPal account to pay the bill.  I'm currently in the process of moving and other big life changes (Fiancee), which is why it took so long to take care of this.  Sorry for the delay.  
 
I'll monitor the Bandwidth this month and see of a plan upgrade is necessary. 
Thanks for your patience

Decided to finally get around to do a little paint correction, the car had scratches, swirls, and blue and red marks around the car. I washed and clay bared the car then decided to try the Mequiar's DA Microfiber two step detailer. (Correction Compound D300  &  Finishing Wax D301). I have read good things about it, and it produces low dust residue when removing the compound. The only thing I did not like was how hard the compound was to buff off. Overall, I liked the product, and the results. 
 

Nice. It's shining like a new penny.
