I haven't experienced a heater core replacement yet but humpin stock iron heads over the fender with no cover really sucks. Especially after my old ass back was shot from pulling all the other off the day before. Close second was wedging front springs in.

Heater core mainly because it is too slow (took me about 12 hours) and too awkward (if my arms were about a foot longer it would have helped). Was tempted to get at it by cutting through the firewall but managed to resist that temptation..
Any difficult project requires a substantial reward, steak and wine did the trick..

Repair...... ahhh has to be the convertible top... I would rather design and build another blower setup from scratch a second time with just hand tools than do another top.

The SINGLE dumbest thing I've done while in the Garage

As a follow up to the top 10 dumb things done to a mustang, I realized that there can also be a list made up for stupid things done while working on a mustang. AND while there are certainly at least 10 things I've done that could be considered dumb here here is my top 1 (of 2) I've already...
