stangme428 33 Report post Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) ok -- so Andy replaced the cam in the ORIGINAL switch, soldered and heat shrink on all the connections, removed two bulbs per tail light housing. Andy HATES anything electrical or wiring... but i talked him into it... plus its keeping me from going insane after being at the hospital all day with my dad. brakes now work, turn signals now work ... no hot wires.. more testing to follow. but... progress! when i get back home ill check the current draw and go over all the wiring to the rear of the car again, and install the sequential LED tail light kit once i know we wont blow them up... also installed the new scott drake aluminium/billet recovery tank... its for 65-68 but i think it looks good in the 69 engine bay.

stangme428 33 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I ordered a set of Tommyzees subframe connectors - should arrive by September 15th, 2014. These look well built and allow for additional mounting points - also plan on welding flat plate and gussets for the roll bar to replace the plates currently provided with the roll bar kit. update *** received on 9/10/2014 -- great quality!

Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 I think the chin spoiler is always a nice touch, amazing how a little piece of plastic can add to the aggressive factor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwcstang 201 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 ^ Likewise, at first i didn't want to have a chin spoiler but i think it adds that final factor of the "aggressive tough look." Almost sinister looking, especially if you have the Hood Scoop & side Scoops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangme428 33 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 yep i agree..... the huge boss 429 scoop i had "chopped" the car up and made it "stubby" with the Shelby duck tail...i was ok with it ... but.. i think with a lower hood scoop and the chin spoiler... it makes the long hood line more sleek and gives a lower stance... the head on look with the chin spoiler... love it..:thumbup: anywho we are never done with these cars... :punk: well until we run out of money!! $$$:thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stangme428 33 Report post Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) a critical component arrived this week! Cobra key fob! and i plan on experimenting with EPAS - electronic power assist steering - i ordered the "Bruno" control box mod as mentioned on VMF - so it will probably be a while... before experimentation begins ... you know how slow i can be :-) Edited September 23, 2014 by stangme428 spel / wording Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangme428 33 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) okay -- so its never as easy as it seems.. So i purchased a Champion radiator shroud to fit the Champion 3 row clamp in 24" radiator with dual 12" fans. i didn't mind paying a bit for a direct fit shroud.... but as it turns out... it was NOT a direct fit... no problem with the shroud... its the Champion radiator... seems Champion decided to use the same radiator mounting bracket on the drivers side as installed on the passengers side... except.. they installed the drivers side upside down which placed the wrong mounting holes for the shroud on the drivers side... the passenger side mounting holes lined up like a champ... but ... nothing a drill couldn't fix. if i had needed the bolt in style i would have noticed years ago. so we had to spread out the shroud just a bit so we would have enough material to mount to at the lip on the radiator side. we drove all over town to find stainless bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts.... tractor supply, advance auto, and finally home depot... nobody had everything we needed in stock... 1/4 stainless for mounting the fans and 5/16 for mounting the shroud. the end result was a ton of air was now moving... you can tell when the thermostat opens up just by the air temperature change pulled via the fans... idle temps seem to be down by 10-15 degrees.. we will see how it goes when driving... trying to attend the Savannah mustang show this weekend! one other thing.... after we marked the fan holes and drilled, we removed the protective coating, cleaned, and then sprayed the shroud with eastwood diamond clear satin ... and yes we have some touch up to do after having to modify the shroud lip.. :-) *** update - dad is having a rough week with chemotherapy, so i will be traveling to spend the weekend with him instead of the savannah show*** Edited October 9, 2014 by stangme428 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
