My DIY lil blue 69 headache daily pony [PLEASE NO POSTS]

[juit 34]

Im a really DIY guy so some of my post you are not gonna be welcome and other will.

 

I really really dont care :flowers:

 

Im gonna try to save at least 10 post so I can do a whole section of the history of the car till current day and post a lot of pics with all my DIY stuff mistake and learning curve

 

I would really really apreciate if no one post on this thread till its finished

 

PLEASE PM ME GUYS :wub:

 

 

OK got this lil beast in this cond:

 

the owner told us that the engine was in bad cond

4 burned spark cables you could see at night how the spark hit the headers

 

long headers they hit the floor once and a while

 

the autolite carb had some parts broken

 

one good thing I liked is that it had minimal rust on body

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

after this I started to read about mustangs and started to write a to do list

 

the first thing I read was about the shelby drop

 

bought a template from a guy on fleabay and drilled

 

 

at the moment I had low cash after the buy, a baby on the way and I have a expensive hobby "paintball"

 

did the drop and assemble everything

 

I didnt liked the car how it felt

 

started to read more and more on forums and books at B & N

 

the mechanic told me to start looking engine problems

 

 

so cleaned the spark plugs the timing was all crazy so we decided to open the 302 the timing chain had 1 tooth misplaced, the guy told me the engine was in bad cond after he sent it to rebuild it

 

his loss my gain

 

now the engine was running strong

 

after 2 weeks after fixing the 302 a plastic burned smell started after I took the car for street rides

 

we found that the header was burning the clutch cable

 

 

so I found some info on how to build a hydraulic clutch

 

but my transmision was a newer ver and the adapters that daze made for T5 dint fit my bell housing

 

I just made this L bracket 2x2 outside

 

 

 

 

firewall reinforcements plate installed with pedal

 

 

 

engine looks

 

 

 

 

I drilled and taped for 3/8 screws Im planing to S.S. helicoil them in the future

 

 

 

then I made a back tray

 

 

Paint it with plastic paint from rust oleum

well I had a problem with my shelby drop

 

my long headers were almost touching the floor

 

 

 

 

 

some guys here told me to get JBA 1650-S but they are crazy expensive

 

but I found on ebay 94 mustang headers 5.0 for 50 bucks shipped

 

 

they are now installed on my mustang and I dont have any complains at all they even look if they were made for this type of car, it gives a great engine sound better than my long headers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you can see hear the difference in this video

 

 

was having some minor heating problems 3/4 needle at idle

 

now the needle stays at 1/4 at idle all the time

 

I cut the top of 200 gal a barrel reinforcement

 

 

measure it

 

 

buy some mending plates at walmart for 2.97

home made console

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went to a friend shop and he offered to reinforce my export brace

 

so what the heck! I was going to change it anyway

 

I was impressed how sturdy it feals now! now Im planing to keep it :icon_bike:
