I got the bumper cover in primer for my brothers car ,two coats of plastic adhesion primer for plastic and two coats of rubberized primer . A good scuffing in the morning and it will get some color
I got his bumper cover painted ,got a couple of very small dust specks that i will get to try out my new buffer on ,it should buff out easily . Sonic blue would look great on something like a 32 -34 ford coupe .maybe another 35 Ford pick up for me!
Right now this thing has a really cheap touch screen in it ,i want to put the shaker 500 back in it ,that is what it came with .problem is my antenna wire will not plug into the shaker 500 ,the 500 has somthing in the center of the antenna opening and the wire will not plug in ,is there some kind of adapter or a different antenna wire for the 500? I also have a shaker 1000 but the numbers and letters are wiped off ,it takes the standard antenna wire ,what do i need to put the 500 back
Just double check the polarities of the connector ends (I can't see if there's a pin in your image or if it accepts a pin):

There are other cables with differing ends on the page.

I bought the one with 5 adaptors ,it has the same end that is in the radio ,i need the end that plugs into that one . I have to go by ford tuesday ,i will see if they have the wire for the 500 shaker ,funny thing is not all shaker 500s have this plug in,just the standard antenna wire ,and the 1000 i have doesnt have this either
Same end that is in the radio ,i need the other end ,and the other end would also be the wrong end ,it would have to be the female endJust double check the polarities of the connector ends (I can't see if there's a pin in your image or if it accepts a pin):

Ha ,just found the friggen thing ,its always in the last place you look !
Dont mind Annie in the back ground ,she isnt dead ,just very lazy!

Damn, it works! Took about 15 minutes to pull that junk radio and replace it . Sounds like the factory amps still work as well . One more think off the check list .
I dont get much time for my projects but i managed to get the trunk lid ,both fenders and driver door block sanded and primed .the passenger side door and hood is still bolted on so i need to pull them first . The original paint on these cars block sands like high build primer . I will block sand these one more time ,prime again and give them one more good block sand and they will be ready to paint .
Got the hood and the passenger side door sanded and in primer ,i think i will get all the small parts in primer then start on the body
What a pain in the butt! I started sanding on the front bumper cover from my brothers mustang and the clear just keeps flaking off ,i think i got it all of and hit it with air and another place flakes off ,may have been better off to by a new one . I am betting it was painted one day and cleared the next ,that never works !

I finally rolled it in the shop and put it up on the lift . I should be able to do the tranny swap in a week or so.
It is very clean on the under side ,for some reason he painted the front k member red ...yuk! Atleast billy bob didnt paint it john deer green !
He put a bit of money in it it looks like brakes on all 4 wheels ,kyb rear shocks and kyb front struts .control arms are new and so are the tie rod ends ...he left the grease zerks out ! New sway bar end links ,and all new coils so i figure there is probably new spark plugs as well.
He said it had a clank in the rear end ,i think i found that problem

Ok ,the transmission doesnt shift in this thing . It will shift manually in 1 2 or 3 but not drive ,that usually means the spragg bearing went out. I found a rebuild tag at the bottom of the bell housing but no date on it . I thought just maybe it was low on fluid so i went to fords number 1 item on the most stupid things ford could do list ,the drain plug where it has that set screw for checking oil level ,because putting a dip stick in would have been a stupid idea! People ,a little advice ,this set screw has to be able to be removed to check oil levels so cranking the damn thing so tight it strips trying to get it out is a super stupid idea! Yep ,the damn thing stripped and now it cant come out ! I went ahead and pulled the whole drain plug out ,it had plenty of oil so guessing it has to be the spragg bearing so out it will come . I have another tranny to replace it but i want to get this one rebuilt for a spare.
Broke down and bought a transmission jack ,got it through home depot because everyone else was out of stock! Its nice ,its two stage and goes way higher than i will ever need it to . I have a few things to catch up on but soon as i do its time to swap out the transmission .
