Im going to start tearing the mustang apart for paint soon.  I was looking thru the assembly manual and I noticed that there is supposed to be a strip of ESB Sealer on the top of the apron.  Is this going to make it difficult to remove the fender?  I dont want to bend it. Sealer tape

Today we started on changing the water pump.  I never dreamed it would be such a pain in the ass.  I see why people used to bitch about V belt systems.  Ive never dealt with a v belt set up before.  I had to take the alternator out, the radiator out, loosen the ac idler, loosen the PS pump just...
