I've used quiet a few cans of the stuff building my car. Beats mixing up the 2 stage stuff. Stinks like it too.

I have a question about headers and fitment around clutch linkage. I have a 302-2V w/3 speed and manual steering gearbox. I'm looking at headmen shorty headers but when I look at buying online the sites indicate they only work with A/T transmission. I would like to use shorty headers I don't really care about manufacturer.

I got all the wiring done for my backup camera system and new radio done. now I can get the front and rear glass installed and get the rest of the car put back together. I'm ordering some new tires and once they come in I can install the motor and transmission. I also made some side panels to block off the trunk drop offs. I made them out of aluminum and put sound deadener on one side and black carpet on the other.

I just finished installing the interior of the mustang. I changed the seats from standard to mach 1 covers. I also went to 3-point seatbelts and an aftermarket long consul. I got a set of new wheel and tires 15x7 magnum 500 from Cooker Tires.

After 2 days, and breaking a jack on the engine hoists, and replacing it my dad, and I Installed the engine in the car. I was surprised how hard it was to install. We had to release the air in the front tires, and jack the rear end up in order for the aftermarket oilpan to clear the radiator support.

Well done

Looking good. Nice job. When I dropped mine back in with the trans attached I put the rear tires up on some tire blocks (about 18") and jacked the front end up and removed the front tires and lowered it as low as possible and blocked it. then it went in no problem by myself.
