    Interior paint

    Tips If you are using lacquer the most important tidbit I found was to lay down 2 thin passes 8" away, 30 minutes apart. Then the next day lay down a thick coat from only 6". PRACTICE ON SOMETHING FIRST. (I had to redo the dash because I wasn't happy with it the first time.) Let dry a few days...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Recent Progress.... I received the set of 4 Clearwater Audio speakers for the headrests today. They have the proper connectors on each to attach to the Fiero seat wiring. ($127 shipped, little more than I wanted to spend but they look first rate). Should work pretty well wired in parallel with...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Thanks Thanks for the pix, very helpful!!! Looks like he's on vacation and returns in 2 weeks. We had just started talking about this project when he left on vacation (and I went that day to pick up the new seats around here). We didn't get beyond very briefly discussing the fronts and...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Hmm, I'm not sure about the differences in the Mustang brackets. (The front Fiero bolt holes seemed to line up with the Ford bracket.) Doesn't the Fiero bracket cause the seat to sit further forward as well as a bit higher? It appears that way, but my car's not handy right now to doublecheck...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Pix would be great Thanks I'd like to see some pix of how you did it. I'm going to do the brackets this week one way or the other, so it would help. For me, legroom and kneeroom is key. Yep, I removed the original speakers which are worn out. I found some really low profile new ones on...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Picked up my Fiero seats today... I just landed a pair of '84 Fiero seats today on Craigslist for -- I still can't believe it -- FIFTY dollars... I drove 1.5 hours each way though. Anyway, they have both recline handles, both mechanism covers and even the tracks (which I won't use). The...

    Door Shells???

    NPDs are not bad at all I bought a couple doors from NPD a few weeks ago. The new and improved ones. They fit great, they have the grain on the inside panel too of course. The only negative is that the area where the decorative crease runs from front to back will require some filler and sanding...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Thanks Thanks for checking! I actually have a 66 and I just measured the stock front seat and am getting about 5 1/2" -- but it's the same straight across the front. It sounds like in the middle of the fiero seat it may be possible to pick up an inch maybe more under the knees which would...

    Has anyone installed Fiero seats in their car?

    Height? Would somebody be able to measure the height of the fiero seat for me please? Specifically, the height of the front under the knees (from the bottom front edge to the top). I'll compare this number to what I have now. I bought Corbeaus but they are a little too tall for me to use...

    Turn signal switch question

    I used a dental pick to depress the tabs and pulled each wire out, replacing them one at a time. I couldn't find the special tool anywhere locally but the pick worked fine.

    Polished Valve Covers???

    I had a set of polished valve covers on my 89 5 liter. They looked great. I never cleared the covers yet they stayed shiny for years until I sold the car. (Not chrome-like shiny, but still very shiny.) I must have hand buffed them a bit once or twice in that time but that took maybe ten minutes...

    Horn button with Lecarra Steering Wheel

    Thanks for the additional help, I think this clears it up. This button is a big honkin chunk of shiny metal. I think it is grounding through it's body right to the face of the wheel. There's a small threaded hole on the back to accept a ground screw and wire. There's a rubber strip around the...

    Horn button with Lecarra Steering Wheel

    Thanks everyone for the replies so far! From what I can find, the button's for a Ford (because of the engraved logo on it), but probably for a Ford with an aftermarket steering column (GM wiring). I didn't know this when I bought it... I had figured both wires for the Ford setup were positive...

    Horn button with Lecarra Steering Wheel

    Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this before... I just installed a nice LeCarra wheel and hub adapter on my 66 with the stock column. Everything fits fine, turn signals cancel, no problem. The cool billet LeCarra horn button I picked up on ebay with the Ford logo engraved on it -- and...

    Interior Panel Paint

    I bought some cans of lacquer spray paint at NPD for about $8: http://www.npdlink.com/modules.php?name=Mustang_Catalog The panels look good. I'm now trying to find some lacquer primer to do the dash. I'd suggest reading up on spraying lacquer out of a rattle can. I researched it here...
