Mike65 475 Report post Posted December 25, 2012 Over this past weekend I finished removing the pedal hanger from my Coupe so I can get a clutch pedal to add to it for the planned T-5 conversion. I also need to clean it up & paint it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike65 475 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 For Christmas I got a welder cart, now my welder, helmut, & gloves have a home & I know right where they are when I need them. I got a Mach-1 front spoiler for my Birthday which will go on once I finish repairing the front valance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 nice cart. that will make things easy. you are posting a lot of good pictures. in the future consider making your pics 2-3 times bigger if nobody else has said the opposite (or is something screwed up with my computer?). they are difficult to see with my eyes.

Mike65 475 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 The pic of the pedal hanger on the right is after I sanded off all the surface rust & coated it with Mastercoat silver rust preventive paint & the pic on the right after spraying with Rustoleum satin black. Now it is ready for the clutch pedal & the power brake pedal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike65 475 Report post Posted March 17, 2013 Over the weekend I spent several hours cleaning the wiper motor & the motor bracket, then I painted the wiper motor case & the bracket satin black. I put a small piece of tape over the build date stamp on the bottom on the wiper motor case that read Oct 28, 1968 & the part # stamp 12V C9ZF17504C.

Mike65 475 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 My next winter project (even though it is now spring) was to clean & re-paint the e-brake assembley, so today I removed it from the car & started cleaning it. I went through the last of my parts boxs & found the release handle & it has broken off of the "L" shaped piece with the slot in it that is laying on the workbench between the handle & the assembley. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike65 475 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Well I finished cleaning up the e-brake assembley & painted it. Now I just have to weld the bracket bake on the handle & install it back on the assembley. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
