Gotcha. The video horsing around is a good intro into knifeless tape.  As for in-depth instructional videos, ckwraps on YouTube does a really good job. Here's a video showing how to do hood stripes step by step

Oops misread. Thought you were wanting to do the mach 1 hood decal and not a full hood blackout. Yeah you're gonna want to get some bulk vinyl and lay it on in 1 piece. Considerably easier.

I have been wrapping cars for a few years and have access to a cnc vinyl cutting bed. In theory you could make a precut hood decal since vinyl rolls come in 5 ft wide rolls, but there's quite a bit of testing/product development to get the dimensions and centering right on a kit like that since...

Had an interesting interaction with someone who runs a classic car "restoration" shop last week. I needed to get some measurements on an OE trunk floor on another mustang, and found a shop on Facebook that had a 71. Got there and went inside and there was this beautiful grabber green 71. The...

I will be looking at upgrading brakes eventually, yes. But I am also wanting to get this car some track time as well, so going to go with something a bit bigger. I am thinking of this kit with matched rears since I know for a fact it will work with my granada spindles. Thanks for the heads up...

Yeah I am a little disappointed in how hard it was to get the 3rd link bracket over the frame rails. I essentially had to use a jack to hold one side of the bracket flush with the frame rails, then use a dead blow mallet on the other side to get it to seat. So far that's been the only hitch...

Generally between $30-40 for the 12oz cans

Ok fuel tank is back in! Took the opportunity to clean it up and get new gaskets and hardware. The fit against the watts link bar was very tight, but manageable. There's just barely enough room to fish the EVAP line between the tank and the frame. Now all that's left is welding the 3 brackets...

Ok both the watts bar and 3rd link bar are bolted to the frame rails now. The watts bar slid over the frame rails no problem, but I did have some difficulty getting the 3rd link bar fully seated - it was about 1/8" too narrow as you can see from the first pic. Emailed Shaun at StreetorTrack and...

Test fitting everything today. A couple of things I've noticed.  1: the gas tank straps are going to have to to in before the watts bar as it looks like the bar sits right beneath them. 2: not going to be able to use the factory brake line support bracket as the 3rd link bar needs to go where...

Yep. It can be a pain getting the kickdown linkage and shifter linkage lined up in relation to the valve body, but is otherwise a pretty straightforward job.

Ok everything that needs to come off the car is out. Going to be taking tomorrow to start wire wheeling everything under here and prep for paint. Figured I might as well do that now since I don't know when I'll have the rear disassembled like this again. 

Absolutely. I'm thinking I'll get some continental extreme contact DWS06 tires when I do. I have them on my other car and they perform really well for all seasons. Going to need to find some good wheels as well since my current ones are only 15x8.

First things first, I removed the gas tank. The watts bar sits right in front of it, so rather than struggle getting that fitted in, I figured it would just be easier to take the tank out. My goal this weekend is to get everything removed in terms of shock absorbers, leaf springs, and rear axle...

Figured I'd document my ongoing suspension/steering system overhaul here in case anyone is looking at doing something similar. So far I've done: - 12.7:1 quick ratio steering box from Redhead - new pitman arm, idler arm, rag joint, inner tie rods - Baer adjustable outer tie rods for bump...

Man I've been there. Definitely want to be sure you removed the locating pin as Don mentioned. Not getting leaks with 2 piece seals is kind of a dark magic. You gotta pull every trick you can, and even then there's a chance it won't seal up - or just start leaking after 1,000 miles. Here's my...

Rear SoT suspension goodies came in the mail yesterday. Going to start tackling it in a few days.

Put the table into a chart for you, a bit easier to get a read on in my opinion. First pull looks pretty good, but you could probably stand to go a hair leaner on the jets - could make more power, but if it negatively impacts drivability, maybe don't go that route. Most carb'd engines do well...

Looks phenomenal. Very clean install.

I've got mine insured through Hagerty with agreed value as well. Waaaaay cheaper than conventional insurance and it only costs me like $25 /month since my car is one of the less desirable trim levels. I think the valuation tool they have on their site put it somewhere between $6,500-$9,000 which...
