Progress Thread Pearl To White - Paint Time

Thanks fellas. I’ll most likely be asking some questions on how to reassemble certain things since I didn’t remove them. Some parts I don’t even know what they are. I’m leaving the car all white. After running racing stripes for years I like the look of just all white. Here is a pic of my original rear bumper compared to the new white.

Wow! That picture really illustrates the difference. It's a much cooler shade of white now.

Yeah, I wanted a bright clean looking white. It's a Ford color too.

Pretty dang similar!

Are your Pony wheels 17 inch @Fri Guy?

They sure are. I don't have the center caps on at the moment. These are the old original Pony R's.

Thanks, I really dig yours. Had planned on going with oxford white but ended up going with frozen white.

Have a question fellas. I have not had a chance to look into this or actually look into my car at all since getting it home. But one thing that I noticed was that when I sat in the car and turned the key to on I could always hear my fuel pump in the rear come on. Well I heard it come on like normal but what wasn't normal was the sound I also heard coming from in front of me.

I don't know how to explain it, but it was a sound I've never heard before. I don't know if it was the sound of fuel pressurizing running to the engine or what. I do have a T-Rex pusher installed for my S-Trim and also have a fuel pressure gauge installed in my cowl vent. So while sitting in my front seat the sound comes from somewhere in front of me. Any ideas what might be going on? I plan to look into it this weekend if I have some spare time.

The first thing I'd do is check for leaks or fuel smell, cause you certainly don't want to have a fire after just getting it back. Is your FPG a mechanical one? Maybe pull the fuse for the fuel pump so it does not come on and see if the sound in front is still present and that will tell you if it is related to the fuel system or not.

I don't smell any fuel leaks. It's a mechanical gauge. I'll pull the fuse and give that a try. Thanks.
