    HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING FORD MUSTANG UNIBODY DIAGRAM

    Your welcome, The old style hanging gauges ? No Idea what the -10 is on that diagram. I really don't see where it comes into play any way. I don't have it on the chart I have. A much more accurate setup is using pointers set to height from the base line or datum line up like in my pictures.

    Awsome ::thumb:: I fell in love with that car the second I saw it. Good thing you bought it cause if you didn't, it would be sitting in my garage right now. I bet too a good clay bar and polish job would take the finish up a few notches. When you get a chance post up a video of it running would...

    My Next Project (V Code 71 Roadrunner)

    Looks great ::thumb:: Don't make the mistake of thinking primer surfacer will fill, it won't, they all shrink a little bit no matter what the can says. Better off to skim coat with polyester putty glaze. Once all your filler work is done and the car is in primer if you don't have access to a...

    Axle flange bent?

    It's not the bearing that's hard to get on but the retaining ring. I've always cut them and the old bearing off if just replacing on a old axle. Install is made much easier by putting the axle in the freezer for 48 hours prior (if you can) The bearing will usually push right on. The retaining...
