    Sanding advice needed

    If you leave your sander flat you wont hog out all of the old bodywork, but it will allow you to see where you have "dings and dents" had I not gone down to bare metal I would not have found that my drivers rear quarter had bondo nearly half an inch thick in it. Also found that my passenger door...

    What springs do you have under the rear? Factory? Aftermarket? According to UPS my 4.5 leaf mid-eye grab-a-traks are sitting under my garage as we speak.

    Tire clearence issue

    That car is 40 years old...those are Probably the original springs. You need to get new springs all around to restore the car to its original height.....or you can buy springs that will set it a little lower than original height, regardless you need new springs, the old ones are more than likely...

    Well im fairly certain all my grounds (for the exception of the cheap battery cables) are in good form. I rewired the entire car myself with a painless kit for the 67-68 mustang. So all my wires are new and are capable of handling the load. I also have a brand new 65 amp alternator running...

    Oh the falling leaves....springs

    I wish wheel hop was an issue with me....that 289 is so weak i do good to even spin over the one wheel that does turn. It is a BONE STOCK 289 with an intake and headers....i didnt build the engine, the PO did, i just tore it down and inspected it. The bores looked great, it didnt smoke or leak...

    Just a head unit for now. I do have a 200 watt Phoenix Gold amp (its about 8 years old, but a great little amp) and an 8" bazooka tube I planned on putting in the trunk eventually just for a little extra "umph". Not looking to win any competitions, just give my lows a little extra depth.
