70Nightmare 20 Report post Posted January 6, 2014 Today I went to drop off my wheels at my friends house who is putting on my disc brake. I wanted to see how it would look on the car and its look good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70Nightmare 20 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 If you have a 69 mustang and is installing the csrp swap.4 kit beware the original fittings will not fit the new master cylinder ,distribution block or the proportioning valve and you will have to buy some more fittings to make it work. Which equal a uncompleted kit. I have always use csrp and it sucks the kit is not completed for a 69 mustang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FordRacing 10 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Picked my car up today from my friends house. The car stops alot better with the new brakes it was just a pita to hook up the mc. 70, I would REALLY recommend NOT using compression fitting on the master Cylinder, I'm not familiar what the laws (or if there is a law) are in VA but in NY those are illegal. IMHO brakes are not something to fool around with (why not use a double flair like the originals). For me it wouldn't be worth the risk, but I'm just one guy with an opinion (and we all know the rest of that saying) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70Nightmare 20 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 @mike they are the original springs on the rear with air shocks. I'm going to change the rear suspension next weekend I did a little for on the front today. @ford I will have go and find some so I can't change it because the kit didn't come with any. U rite I don't like playing with brakes either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

70Nightmare 20 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I haven't updated the build in awhile due to bad weather. The weather got nice and I took advantage of the day and started to remove the rear suspension. Edited March 6, 2014 by 70Nightmare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangnet33 88 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Have any luck getting your front shackle mount bolts out ? Just started the same as you, but looks like I'll have to cut mine. And yes a break in the weather is over due. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70Nightmare 20 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 Yes I finally got the front shackle bolts out. I had to cut the bolts out and then drill into the bolts and use a screwdriver and hammer to bit it out what a pita. Now the u bolts I have for the rear spring plate I got from cj doesn't line up.

70Nightmare 20 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Question how would you go about repairing this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69stanggt 10 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Move as much out of the way as you can, some 80 grit hand sanding with maybe 180 or 220 grit after surface is clean. Spray rattle can satin black on the firewall and probably the lip until you're ready to paint the car later?? Just my thoughts. Here's a photo of some hand sanding near that area. The sanding is assuming this is just cosmetic rust and not holes or severe blistering underneath. That's another story.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69stanggt 10 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 One other thought from earlier in the thread-- with the solid '69 project you have now, you could change your ID to 69Dream. Thanks for posting. I followed your previous thread for the '70 and that was a lot of metal work-- especially in the elements. I admire your continued pursuit of a project car. :punk: jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70Nightmare 20 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks for the info and encouragement 69stang. It's pretty flexible in the middle so I was thinking of welding this piece in so strengthen it up a bit. http://www.cjponyparts.com/scott-drake-export-brace-reinforcement-mounting-plate-1967-1970/p/EBMP2/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
