Thanks, it runs pretty well (well at least engine starts and keeps running) Im just not used to the older style anything anymore. I know it sounds silly, but once you do modular engines, you forget simplicity/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newstang 388 Report post Posted May 19, 2019 body man is working on the panels. it turns out the dynacorn radiator support is over 1/2 lower on the left than to the right, so the right side is 3/4 in lower than the left side. stupid me for assuming the part is correct when they make it. you cant tell unless you look dead straight at it, too late to do anything now.

newstang 388 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 Couldn't live with knowing the right side was lower so instead of cutting the aprons off and the radiator, we just cut the top of the apron and rad. support and added to it. Now it is perfectly level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newstang 388 Report post Posted June 28, 2019 So I went to the body shop today to see my stang. What do i see beside it? One bad ass gasser belonging to Chuck Zito. The guy I'm using did this car for him 20 years ago and still looks perfect! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newstang 388 Report post Posted July 25, 2019 So today I was putting on the new door handles, I was about to smash it with a hammer. they hit inside the door and did not fit at all. turns out that the mechanism that comes with them are not for 69-70, you need to use your original parts. So why the hell do they sell us this crap that is not for our year cars? i was fortunate enough to find some originals in my trash, hopefully, this will work.

JET 445 43 Report post Posted July 26, 2019 Yep, I had exactly the same problem, and the push knobs are all wobbly and loose. I would get the originals rechromed if I did it again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many unpainted edges, even panted over some small dents that when i pointed it out he told me im nitpicking. 2 mwye0627 and bigmal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew at that point that now that he's paid, he won't give a crap. What is the going rate on paint jobs these days? 1 mwye0627 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
