Hah! Just kidding. My clutch will not disengage. The fork slides freely as it should, makes a full range of motion with the cable connected. TOB is right on the fingers of the pressure plate.

my money is on clutch disc being backward. When I did my hero 2 1/2 hr flywheel swap, is been up since 4:30, driven 3hrs to Dallas, worked all day, drove 3 hrs home, and then decided to swap flywheels. Yay for good decisions!

Long days like that, make for poor decisions. Truly know what you're going through. On a side note. Reading this thread, and noticed you and a few others are from Houston. Actually I have followed some of you guys from the Westside mustang forum for years. Just like there, I only read. Never really post much. Good to see yall keeping the forums alive here.

LoL. I've seen some cringe worthy stuff posted back in the day, that'll make you say whatttt. It's all good though. Forums can be way more relaxing than Facebook.

I just saw/read that the other day. Sad to see that much info gone. You had alot to say also on there. I believe our cars were at FastLane together at one time when Anthony was there. Good to see you here though.

I couldn't believe how much cheaper the taxes were when we moved here. Texas has a serious problem.

I'm still alive.

I sold my DD Infiniti to pay off my wife's car in hopes of buying an F-250 later this year. Ok, so what? Well, that means I'm currently DD-ing my 1994 F-150. While it has been doing fine lately, it has issues that have been band-aided together and I'll need a plan B if something comes up. SO - I'm going to do what I can to get the fox back to operable status this week, hopefully.

I'll start with bleeding the brakes and getting the wheels back on. Seems like no big deal, but it's been sitting like this for months now!

This brake line has been laying on the floor for months now. I’d assured myself it would take time to install and therefor would be a pain in the ass.
I had a solid mental block for a while.

tonight, i resolved to install the line. It took all of 3 minutes to get it in. Shame, Collin. Shame.

maybe next week, I’ll get my wife to help me bleed the brakes.

Ummmm.... that line does not look like a stainless braided line? You should probably start all over now, with the old Silver car.

Old silver car has a fresh motor, auto trans, and Holley in it now. Isn't running yet, but it's already multitudes better.
