I spent my entire adult life in the Automotive collision / restoration biz and also worked as a damage appraiser for Insurance company's. Looking at your pictures it appears the main damage hit was a touch above the left front wheel. Believe it or not it really looks a lot worse than what it...

Good deal, Support the car if you can with 4 blocks etc at the 4 corners of the rockers on the pinch welds making sure its level front to back and side to side- that's where you start. Also another great tram bar can be made from the leg of a tripod.

The best most rock solid upgrade to your Mustangs door hinges is the Mustang Steve hinge rebuild kit BEST I've ever seen or used ! I mean there's even a zerg fitting to grease the hinge ! If your removing the hinge why play around with anything but the best ? Also a note on panel alignment, The...

A quick video from Today

Just to refresh your memory here's pics how I had my car setup to measure. The long steel bar with threaded rods (pointers) is the datum line speced out in the chart-you set it by using 2 known good points (x-6 and x6 1/2 on the chart ) This should help you (you can see how far out the rear...

Hey Kevin long time no see ! I was going to run the same factory manual master, The one I had original to the car did have a residual pressure valve for the rear brakes in the master itself. No big deal to remove but I started searching around doing some research and Mustang Steve offers a...

Thanks Jay ! Yep I'm working on it ! Heading up today to the "Office" / shop put some time in

Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for checking in letting me know about residual pressure valve, but as you suspected I do have it covered , I did read through the overview and only thing I disagree with is power vs manual when doing the 4 wheel disc conversion-probably because I'm used to...
