    How to remove the center console?

    Yeah. I would rather go back to Phoenix and deal with dry rotted interiors than the rust here, but stupid me I moved here with my wife and she loves it and won't go back. And to be honest, my lungs sure don't miss the pollution out there. Been thinking about trying to sell the stuff, but...

    How to remove the center console?

    Thanks, but the only damage was that the bracket that rivets to the tunnel came off, but it didn't evenbend. Not that I will be needing it anytime soon now anyway. :-) Not sure what I will do with the console, already have one in the Pinto. Russ

    Rust is here-kind of a whinish rant I guess

    You won't believe this, but i had to drive the Pinto today, wife needed her car. Not for a job unfortunately. Anyway, I was looking at the dash and wondering if the II dash would fit. Not something I would really attempt since I need the Pinto driveable, but an interesting idea. I am going...

    Rust is here-kind of a whinish rant I guess

    Thanks. I just am kicking myself for not looking harder before I bought it. I know better but I can't seem to get it in my head that I am not in Phoenix anymore and cars are junk back here. I did have an idea last night while trying to relax by playing my favorite video game. The car is...

    Rust is here-kind of a whinish rant I guess

    Well, I just took a good hard look at the passenger side subframe. It is toast. There is a rust hole on the inner side under the battery area. And someone had already welded on a piece of diamond plate on the outer side about where the firewall starts and then heading back. Plus in front of this...

    Rust is here-kind of a whinish rant I guess

    No need for guilt. I knew going in that this was a good chance. If it is just the sheet metal then it will be a pain. And it is/was an A/C car. I guess the best thing for me to do right now is to keep disassembling the car. If I find more problems then I would need to take the parts off...

    Question about Stumpy's Traction Bars

    Thanks. It looked like they would, but wasn't sure. Russ

    Rust is here-kind of a whinish rant I guess

    Well, not sure what to do with the car right now. go to http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3811060/3 for pictures of the below. I took the carpet up so I could get to the wiring going to the seat belt and the emergency brake handle. Found that there was a connector near the seat belt. That...

    Power Brake booster removal?

    Well, I haven't gotten it out yet. I was sure I had some universal joints for my socket set, but apparently not anymore.:( And I can say for sure that taking the dash top off, if you meant the pad and the metal piece, does nothing to help. At least with this car(had ac, the dash stuff is...

    76 driver's side seatbelt wiring disconnect?

    I had this in another post, but I think I need to put it in it's own. Where do I disconnect the wires that go to the driver's seat belt(assuming it is for a warning light), the short receiver end that mounts to the tunnel? The covering that goes over the belt is very tight, so I am thinking...

    How to remove the center console?

    Thanks. Got it off with only minimal damage. I broke the rivets that held the front tab on the tunnel. I should have gone ahead and taken the shifter handle off I suppose. Turns out the console isn't in as good of shape as I thought, but it should just take a good cleaning, especially up...

    Question about Stumpy's Traction Bars

    I sent him an email about the subframe connectors and haven't heard back yet, so I figured I would just ask this here instead. Do they replace the stock shock mounting plates that attach with the U bolts( my mind is blanking on the correct name) or do they just attach to them? I know that...

    Free wheels and tires!

    if no one here wants them, you might want to ask on the Pinto forum I am on, Ford Pinto Car Club of America they are a direct fit for Pintos also. Russ

    Adding set of headlights in grille

    Thanks, but that is actually the post that got me started on this. A couple of people have asked there on how it was done but never got an answer that I can find. I am still waiting to be approved there so I can bring it up again. Otherwise I will just see what I can figure out when I get to...

    A different sort of gas tank question

    Yeah, nothing is ever simple. I am planning on a firewall anyway, more just to keep the battery acid in the trunk if it ever explodes. Plus it will really help solidify that part of the car. Planning on a 6 point cage anyway, so who needs a rear seat? :-) I was thinking I could just cut...

    Front subframe question

    That is a great link.Thanks! It even has a picture of the torque boxes we were looking for. Might not be stock, but it shows what needs to be done. As far as the cutting the front subframe back end, I was planning on putting a reinforcing tube inside both even if I just go with the Stubby...

    A different sort of gas tank question

    Maybe I am up too late. But I had a crazy idea while reading here. I have read about people removing the spare tire well and making a flat trunk floor. So far so good, I would be carrying a larger spare than would fit in there anyway. Also read about using a fuel cell and centering it for...

    Front subframe question

    Well, in my quest to read all the posts here, I found one back on page 5 or so http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/763322-stumpys-subframe-connector-question.html that answers part of my question. Seems that the bump is normal. But that still leaves why?? If I were to use Stumpy's...

    Front subframe question

    Probably a stupid question, but it is really bugging me. My subframes are not flat on the bottom all the way along the length. On the very last couple (or more) inches on the rear, they have what looks like a bump on the bottom. Sort of like if you take the letter p and rotate it ninety...
