    Next area of focus.. the trunk... notice the priddy holes. Thankfully, this isnt to much of a load bearing area as long as I dont get in a wreck.. I'll probably cut out some cancer and weld in a few patches.... I really hate rust. :nonono: Special thanks go out to My Dad and...

    Progress on my 69 Coupe (56k Warning)

    But before I applied that I needed to get the paint off.. Put on your gloves and mask .. Its time to remove aircraft! Man that stuff is nasty. I quickly learned even miniscule flakes of residule paint burn when they touch your skin... and that latex gloves alone arent thick enough. It...

    Floors are done.. now the engine bay.... ... *sigh* Custom battery tray.. I began making it roughly flush on top, but ended up just having it overlap on the bottom.. It aint no show car. :nice: Its one piece with two bend in it. I bent the sheet metal by grinding a slight groove where...

    Progress on my 69 Coupe (56k Warning)

    (Note: posting multiple replies because of image-per-post limit… couldn’t find any mention of this in the FAQ section though) Hey all. I dont think I've ever really done a progress pic, but I'm sick home from work today so I figured it'd be a good time to burn a few hours prepping this to...

    What to do: Keep car from gettin stolen.

    What about wiring the horn up so it honks whenever the engine turns over? .. and just have a little toggle to turn it off when you start it... plus other things like fuel cut offs and big samoans...

    leg room

    The slider isnt custom, I meant the slider on the seat.. The custom part is the rails onto which the seat bolts... The rails bolt into the stock position holes so if I want to, I dont need to even use them at all.... I'll see if I can find a picture to show you what I'm trying to say... cant now...

    leg room

    When I put in my new floorpans I made new seat mounts instead of using the old rusted ones. Also, my budy and I made brackets so I can move the seat an extra 6" back if need be... if its too far I can always use the on-seat rail sliders to move forward some... no short people can drive it though...

    SRod Tranny compatability and condition check

    Okeydoke, I'm getting the Ford Racing 5.0 listed HERE and I have an SRod sitting in my barn from an early 80's Capri with a 5.0. Will it probably just bolt up fine and dandy or is there anything I need to check? Also, this Capri was beat pretty hard. The engine was pretty much shot...

    Front spring removal

    Good deal.. ya, I may rent one if this was the only car I thought I'd use it on, but It'll probably get used alot between myself and friends. I have a 2nd 69 coupe for the future, my brother has a 66 coupe, buddy has a 65 falcon, and friends have other things.. .. It'll be used. :)...
