Impressive!

Pulled the transmission seperate this morning. Me and the Mrs. pulled the engine this afternoon. Started at 9 a.m and finished at 6 p.m. I am tired, but it sure felt good to be wrenching at this level again. The bellhousing had a mouse nest. Full of goat head seeds and mouse turds. Hope I don't...

I wonder if reproduction quarter panels have the turned up flange? Looks like a bad spot for rust. Still kinda looks solid, with the pinch welds on the bottom of the rocker visible through the paint. A 429 sounds like a whole lotta fun!

A little light on.

I see what you mean about turned up. A bad pic... In my experience which is not a lot, bubbling of paint is usually rust. But some memory from a long time ago also says it could be poor surface prep, such as a chemical left on.

Thanks Kevin. My wife came up with a storage plan for front/rear glass. Flat panel tv boxes from uhaul.

The more I look at pictures of Mustangs in Grabber Green metallic, the more I like it. Hope to be around to see it someday.

I coulda swore I left a 6 pack in the trunk! Where did it go?

Thanks! Didn't make it to the store to pick up bolts for the lift plate today. I work early days the rest of the week, which causes my butt to drag by the time I get home. Motor and trans by Friday is my new goal. Still have fuel line, parking brake cable and brake likes to remove and might as...

Z-bar and driveshaft removed. But the drivers side header is being a pain in the %$@! It would probably be less of a pain with the clutch release lever out of the way. I think I'll leave it and let it fall on the floor when the engine/trans is pulled. The jackstands as positioned would be in...

Thanks Kevin!

I understand the "long overdue". I'm at 17 years with my Camaro.

Thanks Kevin! I made a mistake on my ceiling height. I too am at 7' or just shy of that. I do have a carb plate. I have to get proper hardware (today) as it is just sitting on the intake with the carb studs. I'm thinking grade 8. If I remember correctly they are 5/16-18. I have a load...

I think you did very well on your buy. It couldn't be built for that kind of money. A few minor items that you mentioned are easily corrected. Like you said going with 500's. Excellent choice in my opinion. The rust free part is the best part of your purchase! Nicely optioned (4V-Ram Air, 4...

Thanks for the tips on the glass folks! I laid on the floor of the shop looking under the car last night eyeballin' the engine/trans removal (how I noticed clutch spring) and decided to pull the trans. I have an older 8 ton cherry picker with trolley from HF that I'll use. A key problem that I...

Clutch release lever return spring was attatched to the fuel line in the wheel well. I don't think that is factory!

Still have front and back glass to pull. The back is ready to come out, just have to find a safe place to store the glass. I've never pulled/installed an engine combo with a manual transmission. Then again I could probably count on 2 hands how many engine removal and installations I have done...

Removed the hood and hinges today. Moved stuff around the small shop to aid in working on the Mach 1. Spent 3 hours trimming a tree next to the shop. I needed to make room for our camper to get past the shop to the back yard. So when we pull the Mach 1 out it can go right on a trailer. Instead...

Back window seal has been carefully cut in preparation for window removal. Any suggestions on "how to" for long term storage (3 years or more) until it gets reinstalled?

Coming from you that means a lot. I could've had a carb and intake for cheap as well (150 and 200 respectively) , but for those parts I had a little more knowledge of their value. I felt that I could not take advantage of the sellers lack of knowledge on the value of the carb and intake, so when...
