As they were rather good they remained but as the time went on they started to bother me more and more as they did not perfectly match the looks that I want to have. It came with quite new 205/75-14 tires on '68-'69 type <i>Styled Steel Wheels</i> for which I managed to purchase a set of GT type hubcaps. The tires looked to big in diameter and too narrow. In my opinion the best looking rims for '65-'66 fastbacks are the <i>Magnum 500's</i> which were available as an option in 1966 and were the original wheels on Hertz Rent-a-Racers. Magnums are available as repros from a selection of vendors but although they look good in sizes of 14" to 16" they are of aluminum which makes them look too modern and they are costly, over 300 € each.</p><p>So, when I saw a set of 14" steel Magnums manufactured by Ford for sale at internet marketplace, I made a quick decision and purchased them. I consider them<i> 'period correct'</i> for my fastback. They were not in the perfect condition, but with some TLC they would do alright. I repainted the black areas and polished the chrome.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizV721X4LKJMs54c5rUA-cTkEQHXPYHfYu3AbMPF0E1_vEEiVm_y37U-I10Zj7OtdvSveBL1V5IwsyJvSS_O_iSXu-SLEuYMUaleOaOWnWd_xUPYkng-80eA_d6BVUMg0nCXYQQM6hkQ6scvf6_t5CjWWeB2D3ltab3_UXGcmQ7hC8sLd8-2kNO45IgNFF/s3151/CooperCobra.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1774" data-original-width="3151" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizV721X4LKJMs54c5rUA-cTkEQHXPYHfYu3AbMPF0E1_vEEiVm_y37U-I10Zj7OtdvSveBL1V5IwsyJvSS_O_iSXu-SLEuYMUaleOaOWnWd_xUPYkng-80eA_d6BVUMg0nCXYQQM6hkQ6scvf6_t5CjWWeB2D3ltab3_UXGcmQ7hC8sLd8-2kNO45IgNFF/w400-h225/CooperCobra.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Checking the fit with worn out Cooper Cobras</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>The Magnums came with a worn out and mixed set of <b>BF Goodrich</b> (225/60R14) and <b>Cooper Cobras</b> (215/70R70). BFG offers a wide range of tires as Cooper's offering is more limited. I had to have them with <b>RWL</b> (Raised White Letters). BFG is a lot more expensive so I wanted to verify whether the Coopers would be good enough, especially when it comes to fit for the purpose. There are many opinions which of these are better handling wheels, but I made the decision only based on the price (which for Coopers is only about a half of BFGs) and the looks. I placed an order for a set of Cooper Cobra 215/70R14 and couple of weeks later they arrived. Like so many American branded goods these are not manufactured in the US but Hecho en Mexico. More to come when the springtime allows to finally drive them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Ristohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823446016794007085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746421755994968887.post-38871154728911254192019-06-01T03:32:00.018+03:002021-07-27T12:08:35.464+03:00Engine parts list<p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The parts for the engine were purchased from various resellers like <a href="http://www.tuumacid.fi/">Tuumacid Oy</a>, <a href="https://www.uspartsperformance.fi/">US-Parts Finn-Am Oy</a> and <a href="https://www.summitracing.com/">Summit Racing</a> where ever the products were available at the time of purchasing.

On an April Sunday morning the engine was placed in the dynometer bench and after replacing the dead MSD e-curve distributor with a more reliable one it was fired up. The motor was broken-in using altering RPM for about 20 minutes after which the oil was drained and the oil filter removed for inspection. Nothing special was found. Once the engine had cooled during the lunch break the head bolts were re-tightened, fresh oil filled with a new filter and the actual tuning of the engine would be started.</div>

I must admit that my role during this event was more of an assistant. The owner of dyno and my friend that I had with me took care of all the analyses and decisions what to do next. The engine ran nice with the initial set-up but they were not happy with the air/fuel ratio (AFR) on the 5-8 cylinder bank. After changing jets and checking the fuel pressure and some other thing it was decided that we would try it with an other carburetor. The Holley 570 Street Avenger was replaced with a Holley 750 which gave a similar result. Also a couple of carburetor raisers were tested but the symptoms remained until a Holley 670 (#0-81670) with 1" raiser gave a result good enough. Now the engine was ready for the serious pulls. During them a couple of different ignition curves were tested until no improvement was found. Maximum advance was set to 32 degrees at 4400 rpm.<br />

<br />
My initial target when beginning the motor project was <b><i>'to have as much power as the Shelby Mustangs had in 1965'</i> </b> that being 306 HP. My friend who has dynoed several engines estimated that this one might reach peak power of 350 HP which was hard for me to believe. I'd be happy with anything exceeding 300 but - to be honest- disappointed if it would remain under 300. We both were surprised when the result was:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peak power <b>380 HP @ 5400 rpm</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Max torque <b>545 Nm @ 4600 rpm</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We did not rev the engine above 5500 rpm as it was easy to see that the curves were coming down. This would be the best that the heads would be able to do as well. I was happy with the result but more than that I was happy that everything went fine, the engine is now ready to be placed in the vehicle and even more happy that I have friends that have helped me with the project.</div>

The battery was relocated in the trunk with safety main power switch. All the electricity was tested and found working well. I bought some Moroso aluminium 3/8" fuel line and bent a one-piece line. It follows the original route over the rear axle, then goes along the subframe connectors, through the torque-box and finally through into the engine compartment after the front frame rail. </div>

I wanted to upgrade my braking system to safer and more comfortable system. The rear brakes were re-conditioned earlier <a href="https://65fastback.blogspot.com/2017/02/rear-brakes.html">https://65fastback.blogspot.com/2017/02/rear-brakes.html </a>. Following the plan I placed an order to NPD for the remaining parts that will be needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The booster-master cylinder combo (NPD <a href="https://www.npdlink.com/product/booster-conversion-kit-power-brake-with-dual-reservoir/103495?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3D2005-20EB%26top_parent%3D0%26year%3D" target="_blank">2005-20EB</a> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><b>) </b></span>came in <i>Anon box</i> without any documentation, instruction or other information about the product. Anyhow it looks very nice - kind of vintage aluminium finish in the master cylinder and bowl. Like promised by NPD, it bolted straight in to the firewall and brake pedal without any modifications. This was an important criteria for me when choosing the product. Many of the aftermarket booster-master kits are for automatic instead of manual transmission, but this comes with a smaller diameter booster which yields the manual transmission's Z-bar.</div>

The booster-master also fits nicely between the firewall and shock tower and there are no modifications needed to export brace either. The brake line outlets are only on the right side of the master cylinder which is a little peculiar. The Wilwood <i>proportioning valve</i> <a href="https://www.wilwood.com/mastercylinders/mastercylinderprod?itemno=260-11179" target="_blank">260-11179</a> was later attached on a self-manufactured tray under the master cylinder and the brake lines were bent to fit. I consider that this is as clean installation as possible. Anyhow, there is a small change that may need to be taken care for later. The master cylinder outlets at the moment are connected so that the front bowl of the master feeds the front brake lines in the prop valve and the rear bowl feeds the rear line. I most applications that I've seen they are vice versa. I do not know if this means anything significant, but in case it does, I'll have to crisscross those short lines seen in the below picture. For this it would help to have some kind of instructions added to the kit.</div>

Installing the <a href="https://www.npdlink.com/product/disc-brake-conversion-kit-wilwood-classic-series-dynalite/196756" target="_blank">Wilwood Classic front disc brake conversion kit</a> is pretty easy and straight-forwarding job which can be done in a couple of hours following the instructions included in the kit. The kit includes all you need. Important is to shim the brackets correctly so that the cylinder and brake pads center around the brake disc. Once shimmed tighten the bolts to correct torque, connect the brake lines, bleed the system and you have the brakes. </div>

I enjoyed my skills bending the brake lines so much that I continued and bought some 3/8" Moroso aluminium fuel line. It took some time to figure out how to bend it and still be able to slide it under the car but finally I have a one-piece line all the way from the fuel tank, over the rear axle, along the subframe connectors, through the torque box and aside the frame rail to the engine bay.<br />

I continued the headliner install with rear window and molding install. All this needs to precede the installation of fiber glass interior panels. The panels had been cleaned and painted <b>Ruby Red (RAL3003) </b>at an earlier phase and to my opinion they match quite well the color of the interior.</div>

Interior panel install starts from the middle, then moves towards the big quarter panels via the curvy pieces in corners. New holes needed to be drilled in the support brackets as both the brackets and panels are a compilation of two sets that I had. I also added some sound deadening on the wheel well area.<br />

Another area where locating the pre-drilled holes prior to installing headliner comes handy is the area for the top arch panels which connect the panels on both sides while travelling across the top by the upper edge of the rear window. Very painful to drill new screw holes at this stage.</div>

Installing the <a href="https://65fastback.blogspot.com/2017/10/fold-down-rear-seat.html">fold down rear seat</a> was quite a tight fit. The interior panels absolutely leave no extra play for the seat and you very easily scratch your newly painted panels. The shims were needed to align the seat. If I recall correctly 1 on the other side and 5 or 6 on the other. The <b>trap door</b> was installed (still as slightly wrong colored here) to be able to line it to match the flat part. </div>

A very rewarding phase of restoration when you have all of the stuff clean and ready to be installed and you finally see the end result of hours of work. At the same time it is a painful phase as every scratch you make hurts you almost physically. </div>

It tends to happen that even though you decide to carefully document everything you do at the time when you do, you often forget it. And after wards it is painful to try to remember how you did it. This being my first post this year I am trying to wrap up what was done during the first half of the year before <i>Snowback</i> was taken to storage in early May.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First things to do was installing the new door handles followed by door locking mechanism. Actually this was not as easy as you could figure. The originals did fit but the new <i>Scott Drake</i> handles did not. I needed to move the old internal parts of handles to new ones to make them fit in the opening.</div>

The locks were followed by the door windows and wing window. I soon noticed that adjusting the window will take some more time. There actually are no adjustment for the main door window but it is adjusted only by the help of the wing window which has kind of fore-aft and left-right adjustment screws. I suppose my windows scissor system is a little bit worn and maybe slightly bent on the passenger side so fine-adjusting that will take time later. At this time I only had the in and roughly adjusted.</div>

I did not install any king of seals of weatherstripping for the quarter-vents' outside perimeter. I will trust that the internal hose will be enough for draining the water if any will pass inside. I think Ford did not use any weatherstrip either but I am not sure if they applied seam sealer in this area. I only used sealer on the inside to cover and secure the attaching studs and nuts.<br />

Fast attachment was the rear lights and the rear bumper and the exhaust opening rings for the rear valance. I must say that I am not too happy on this Scott Drake product either. They do not sit perfectly and are of weak quality. They will be replaced if I find a higher quality from some other manufacturer.</div>

I have never before installed a <b>headliner</b> in a car. I am glad I took some time to do it. Some insulation was glued to the roof first. This should work as sound deadening as well as for condensed water dripping from roof on the headliner. For the three headlined bows there are two holes for each on roof structure. I took some measures of the headliner and decided to install them so that the first bow goes to front holes and the other two go to rear holes. I think this may vary by the manufacturer of the headliner. Anyhow my decision was based on test fitting this one. The bows are of different length. The longest one belong to rear and the shortest belongs to front holes. I bought some windlace and cut it in 2" long piece to help with the fitting.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><u>Follow this advice:</u> Install all the screws for sun visors and inside rear mirror before finally attaching the headliner. You will find them by feeling with fingers and it will be easier to cut holes for them. Otherwise you will have to feel where the holes through your newly installed headliner are and that's painful. I wasted a lot of time with a needle finding the correct position of the screw holes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was happy with the fit I removed the windlaces from a small area at a time and applied glue in between the headliner and the roof edge. Then the windlaces were snapped back in and the glue was let to dry. I did use many evenings with this as I did not want to hurry. The patience paid off.</div>

It has a couple of flaws so it cannot be called perfect, but the flaws are minor and most of them will not be seen once the car is ready and equipped. I probably have to address the engine bay once more as there is some gray over spray from abrasive coating. An irritating job to be done now when the car has been painted and I need to cover everything. I am very pleased with the work done ironing out the dents in the roof. All in all, <i>Snowback</i> is now shiny and black and looks quite nice (or aggressive and mean, actually) and that is what counts.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Though my previous post's headline was fold down rear seat, it actually did not cover the </span><i style="text-align: justify;">seat</i><span style="text-align: justify;"> part of it at all. So, consequently, the seat must be covered next. The seat of a fastback differs from the one of a convertible which I have </span><a href="http://65pony.blogspot.fi/2013/01/back-seat.html" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">experience of covering</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> with </span><i style="text-align: justify;">Destiny</i><span style="text-align: justify;">. The convertible seat is convex, whereas fastback has concave seat, which makes it more difficult to work with as you need to pull and hog ring the cover towards the seat in center area while still ensuring that it stays where you want it. The seat cover has four listing rods, two lengthwise and two transverse on both sides of the center hump. By pulling these rods and hog ringing them to the frame, in correct position, the concave form is achieved. The foam from the old seat was in fairly good condition and was to be re-used. The jute burlap had to go. I bought some jute and sewed new ones and hog ringed them to the cleaned frame. I made them a little wider than the originals so the reach the side edges of the frame. The gap between the center hump and seat area is necessary for the later phase of mounting.</span><br />

The listing rods were inserted in the listing channels that are sewed in the seat skins. I decided to use <b>additional steel wires</b> for pulling the skin downwards from the back of the seat after that I noticed that the hog ring pliers and hog rings that I am using are too clumsy (in addition to my clumsy fingers) to operate from the top side only. Now I was able to push the wires through the seat and pull the the listing rods and channels deep to the openings in the seat. Then I checked the position of the skin one more time. With that done, I used my left hand to push the listing rod even further until I was able to feel the bottom in the opening. Then, using my right hand, I clamped the hog rings <u>from the bottom side</u> of the seat. The professionals probably do the clamping from the top side, by just pushing the pliers until they reach the bottom, but for my clumsy hands this worked for me better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started with the lengthwise rods (horizontal in the above pic). After adding the foam for the hump I moved forward with the listing rods in that area. I added some padding to the crossing area where the hump meets the upward area in the center of the seat as well as to the front top of the hump.</div>

It really was a relief too see that after hitting the hog rings to the listing rods the skin looked to be correctly positioned and straight. After adding some padding in the hump area, I decided to start with the rear half of the skin. Front side would be more visible and therefore more important to get straight but I figured that the rear area is smaller and will be less flexible to work. Starting from the center I moved towards the sides. Next thing was to repeat the same on the front side with exception that I left the curved hump edge area for last.</div>

<br />Once the rear and front were done, I continued with the sides by hitting a couple of rings then moving to the other side.

After all this was not at all so demanding task that I expected. Should I be starting now, I would get me a hold of <u>better hog ring pliers</u> than the ones I have. They are more for building fences than upholstery and interiors. And to make the work easier, a couple of extra hands would be nice to have with you. But after all, I am quite happy with the end result. So let's continue with the front seats.</div>

One of the most attracting details in early fastback Mustangs is the fold down rear seat. Before that I knew this feature even existed I often wondered why some of the Mustangs had that <b>MUSTANG 2+2</b> emblem in the lower corner of the front fenders while the others did not. The fact is that the rear seat of a fastback is uncomfortable and not too inviting to sit on as a passenger, it looks extremely good. In my opinion it looks even better unfolded. While still having my car at the painter's shop I have my garage 'empty' for restoring the set of seats and painting the hardware. I had purchased another set of interior earlier so I had everything in double and I was able to choose which to use for my build. The fold down consists of three major parts i.e. 1) the backrest support which is connected to 2) L-shaped part and 3) the flat rear part. I decided to use the parts from the purchased set as their trim was in better condition. I started with steel wool cleaning the trim before unscrewing.</div>

All the hardware parts got some fresh paint on them. These will not be visible but as I had some signal red left available I used it. I made an order to NPD for the interior stuff and had them at my door eight days later. When compared to the carpet and seat covers the signal red appeared too orange, so for the areas where the color can be seen, like in the L-shaped part, I went with semi-matt Ruby Red (RAL3003) which gives a better match. I am not sure what color there should be used in the hinges, but I painted them black as well as the frame of the backrest. </div>

Along with the NDP delivery came the carpets which were glued to the surface using sprayable glue. After the glue got dried the excess of the material was trimmed with a knife. The trim was handled with steel wool and polished. Not a perfect end result, but I do not want to buy a repro kit which is available but rather expensive. </div>

The backrest stuffed part was the next one. I cut the hog rings, removed the vinyl surface, cleaned the netted frame and painted it black. The old foam was in decent condition, no mildew, and needed only to be vacuumed. The foam was set under the frame and together they went inside the edges of the new cover. I started hog ringing from the top edge center to make the best fit on the visible area, the repeated the same on the bottom edge and the sides were done the last.</div>

It looks like Ford did some production changes during the same model year. My car being from early October 1964 production and the donor car from which I purchased the interior parts is most likely 'true' '65. Here are the same trim parts from the side of L-shaped part. Note the improved design. The parts are not interchangeable, unless changing them all.</div>

For some reason the reconditioning stopped in spring due to busy times in work and home. Since March I've spent very little time in the shop, mostly just cleaning , fixing and painting smaller parts and packing them for future use. More of these when it is time to install them. The hood, fenders and valance panels were finally installed after they had been painted on the inside. It is no use proceeding with installing more parts until the car has been painted and I do not have the necessary skills to finalize the bodywork. Obviously some one has been jumping on the roof which has left dents and humps on the roof metal. This kind of metal straightening is better to leave for someone who is more experienced. I had met a guy who has a shop nearby and offered to do the prepping. I contacted him in early summer again and we agreed the pricing and scheduled the car to be delivered in August, after we've had our vacations. And here we go.</div>

The car left the factory with drum brakes in every corner and non-boosted single bowl master cylinder, just like so many of it's siblings. The drum brakes are fine in normal operation, but for more serious braking front discs would add stopping performance. A brake booster will make the operation nicer and the dual line system would add safety. Due to the condition of the old brake tubes, flexible hoses and master cylinder the decision is easy to make for rebuilding the brakes from the beginning. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to reserve the option to use Ford's 14" rims which narrows the options for front discs and calipers and when a minimum amount of modification is wanted the options to find suitable master cylinders + boosters with dual lines are even fewer, especially when the use of original type z-bar clutch link rods shall be used. Browsing the discussion threads over the topic told me that the one available from NPD is the only one that bolts to the original pedal assembly and fits between the firewall and shock tower and the only modification is to make a minor notch in the export brace.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
My plan for brake system consists of<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>standard 10" rear drum brakes rebuild with new 1 3/4" shoes, cylinders and springs</li>
<li>standard parking brakes with new cables both front and rear</li>
<li>Wilwood classic <a href="https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/wil-140-13476" target="_blank">front disc brake kit</a></li>
<li>NPD's <a href="https://www.npdlink.com/store/products/mustang_booster_conversion_kit_power_brake_with-103495-347.html" target="_blank">dual reservoir master cylinder and booster</a> </li>
<li>Wilwood proportioning valve</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />
<h3>
REAR BRAKES</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br />
To get started with the plan the rear brakes and parking brake got installed. Some stuff was ordered from NPD and the shoes, wheel cylinders and hardware was purchased from US Parts and the rest of hardware were cleaned.<br />

<b>PARKING BRAKES</b></h3>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The lever was cleaned and painted. The front parking brake cable was shot and so was the parking brake lever handle so new ones were ordered. The Scott Drake cable looked fine but the same can not be said about the handle (# <b>2760-1</b> , Made in Taiwan). The new one does not look the same, it is not curved as the original and the hole for locking pin is drilled in the wrong angle so the handle would hang looking stupid. Therefore a new hole needed to be drilled to make this inexpensive piece acceptable for installation. </div>

Now the parking brake actuator assembly can be installed under the dash. (ironically I do not have a picture of this phase at hand right now), the front cable brackets can be secured to the firewall and to transmission tunnel cross member. The transmission support cross member needs to be installed in order to go further under the car.<br />

The core seemed to be in good shape but otherwise the box was very dirty and all the gaskets were eroded. The box (which is surprisingly expensive as a reproduction) also needed some glass-fiber patching and new hinges for the fresh air door. Once painted it was set aside for a while until my order for NPD included the necessary parts to fulfill the reconditioning. The heater operating panel got some cleaning, lubrication and polishing and here are the final results.</div>

It's been three years passing since I bought this car. It seems like the restoration will take more time, effort than what I expected back then. So far I have been able to mostly restore it with the parts supplied along with the vehicle or parts obtained from local resellers. A couple of weeks ago I placed my first order to NPD because I needed parts that were not available off the shelf from any local. But now I have done all that can be done without buying more and more parts. The big spending is needed for motor, interior and the paint job. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As the USD is strong against EUR the prices are now higher to me that during the restoration of Destiny some 8 years ago. With the latest order, including UPS freight costs, customs and taxes, the final price for the delivery is 1.5 times the USD price in EUR, This means that an order of goods worth $1000 in the NPD catalogue will cost me €1500 delivered to my door. It is crazy but the local sellers tend to have 1.6 - 1.8 times the pricing. So it is cheaper to place a direct order and it is fun to track the packages as well. Here is the latest route from NPD to me.</div>

The epoxy on the interior was once more ground and <a href="https://www.dinitroldirect.com/product/dinitrol-410-uv/" target="_blank">Dinitrol 410 UV</a> seam sealer was (tooth)brushed on the sheet metal seams before a layer of <a href="http://www.tikkurila.fi/teollinen_maalaus/tuotteet/temadur_50" target="_blank">Temadur 50</a> in 'signal red' tone was sprayed to finish the red coating on inside roof and elsewhere. It seems to be very hard to find a modern formula for the tones of color. The paint resellers cannot match the Ditzler codes from the '60s to any of the formulas found in their databases. In '65 the the interior is <b>bright red</b> , but in '66 it turned to more dark maroon. I took a wild guess when accepting the 'signal red' without being able to compare it with the interior carpet or dash pad as I do not have them yet.</div>

The steering column was disassembled and the tube was sanded and painted with the same color. During the disassembly I succeeded to break the wiring support that is placed inside the tube for keeping the wires not messing with the steering shaft. This support plate is not available as replacement so I had to design an additional reinforcing support for it.</div>

Maybe I regret it later but - as I only have limited amount of storage space especially for the reconditioned parts - I move on to installing the steering column and the under-the-dash components. The reasons for regrets might be that the tone of color is absolutely wrong and I'll have to re-paint the dash and column and the case of possible bad protection for over-spray during the painting of the body. To proceed with the steering column install calls for first installing the gasket and firewall pad which I re-manufactured from 30 mm sound insulator using the old one as a template. The insulator has adhesive surface on the other side so the button fasteners are not required but those will be added in places where the original holes still exist.</div>

Every now and then it comes to my mind that despite of hours spent in the shop nothing gets finished or done. Day after day you keep going to the shop until you cannot see the progress you've made with the project. So that's when you need to go back to your computer and take a look at the pictures to remind you that things actually have gone further. Here are a couple of miscellaneous shots of the past month.<br />

So a lot has been accomplished but some more time will have to be spent with the sheet metal. I already had thought that I wouldn't be needing the welding machine any more with this project. The gap between the driver door and fender cannot be adjusted so most likely I'll have to level the gap by welding more stuff on the edge of the door. As can seen in the below picture the contours of the door do not meet the shape of the rear edge of the fender.<br />

You just have to accept that this kind of setbacks sometimes occur. I am still aiming for having the body parts fit before the end of the year.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Update December 1st</h4>
After a couple of more pursuits, some bending and persuation I am convinced that no welding is needed.<br />

In between all the grinding and priming sometimes you want to feel like getting something finished. In addition to that, I'll soon be ready to install the steering column (once it has been reconditioned) and that can only be done after the pedal assembly has been installed. The bushings on the assembly looked quite tired so I ordered a<b> Master Rebuild Kit</b> from a local dealer. As order for a new brake light switch was set as well because the old one had been there during the sandblasting and I did not bother to check whether it was working or not.</div>

The disassemble is quite straight forward except for the heavy clutch spring. I did not do it like this but later figured out that the easiest way is to push the clutch pedal forward, then to remove the stopper and move the pedal back and the spring is loosened and easy to remove. I did the removal by pulling the axle outwards until the clutch pedal could be moved so much forward that the spring got loose.<br />

The clutch pedal is attached to the axle with punched locking wedge that has to be ground or, like in my case drilled off before the axle can be detached.<br />

While waiting for the repair kit the parts were cleaned and painted. Maybe too early for the assembly itself as the kit has roller bearings instead of bushings and the bushing housings need to be cut off.<br />

The Scott Drake kit comes with roller bearings and wavy washers which are to be installed from the inside and large washers from the outside. Then the axle may be pressed in to ensure correct line. The bearing housing is secured with O-ring clips. I decided to opt to weld the large washers to the assembly. Then the new axle was welded on the clutch pedal. I did not pay too much attention to the remaining distance from the pedal to the groove on the other end of the axle and had to pay extra time fitting the axle locking washer and pin to the other end. Note what happened with the first washer when the pin was pressed in. So it is important to check that the washer and the pin will fit before welding the axle to the clutch pedal.<br />

I like the new feel of the pedals. They feel snug but still easy to operate. In this application the bearings only apply for the clutch operation while the brake pedal goes with bushings and grease. For automatic transmission I would drill a hole through the brake pedal axle housing and the axle and secure them together with a screw to take full benefit of the bearings. This job was well worth the cost and effort while I was at it anyhow.<br />
<br />
I also like the color I chose to make it easier to see things when working under the dash. I think the concours correct color is typical Ford's no-color-at-all or 'natural finish' .<br />

There remains quite a lot of body work to be done before the frost and snow comes so it is about the time to find the motivation to epoxy prime the interior, test fit and finish the doors, front fenders, trunk lid and the hood. The dark comes earlier day by day and soon I will not be able to ventilate the shop or work outdoors. To get started with that Snowback was hauled back home. I would like to proceed with engine, brakes and other mechanical areas but probably I'll have prioritize the body work and paint because that will become harder and harder as we are moving towards winter. And if I succeed to be effective with this the car could be sent to paint shop by the end of the year or early next year.</div>

Now the car only needed wheels to be able to roll and steer. Some more paint was applied in the trunk before it got loaded on a trailer and off to storage for the summer. Not much of body work left for the next winter season. <span style="text-align: left;">Don't you think the hauler is up to it's task ?

Based on the dates, this might be the original "slow-ratio" box installed by the factory.<br />
The basic reconditioning took place with the steering box. Cleaning, painting and greasing, that is.<br />

Good instructions how to lubricate the box can be found on <a href="http://www.stangerssite.com/lubrication.html" target="_blank">Stangers' site</a>. In brief it goes like this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1) Turn wheels all the way to one end 2) Remove fill plug and the farthest screw 3) Press grease in until it squirts out of the screw hole 4) Turn wheels to the other end and repeat the steps.</div>

The front suspension had been prepared for Arning drop by drilling the new holes for upper control arms. Except for reconditioning all of the parts I do not plan any changes in the structure at this phase. So once all the replacement parts had been gathered, usable parts cleaned and painted, the installing of the front suspension in pretty straight-forward task to do. The front suspension will consist of the following equipment.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: start;">
<li>reconditioned upper control arms (UCA)</li>
<li>new upper ball joints</li>
<li>new spring saddles</li>
<li>1" lowering coil springs</li>
<li>new Scott Drake lower control arms (LCA)</li>
<li>new spring insulators</li>
<li>standard sway bar</li>
<li>new sway bar end links</li>
<li>standard strut rods</li>
<li>urethane strut rod bushings</li>
</ul>

Before pushing the axle under the nuts were tightened in two phases to the torque specs. The pass side leaf spring was installed to body on both ends. The driver side was left loose in the rear shackle to leave space for the install. There is enough clearance for the brake shield to go between the spring and frame rail. Once passed through, the stand was removed while supporting the driver end of the axle with a jack stand. Then the driver side leaf spring was attached and the axle lowered on top of it and secured with new U-bolts. This way I managed to install the axle safely and all on my own quite easily.</div>

I scheduled an April weekend for <b>heavy painting</b> as my wife would be on a business trip and not complaining the odors of reducers and stuff.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">I chose to use epoxy primer (</span><a href="http://www.tikkurila.com/industrial_coatings/products/temacoat_gpl-s_primer" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Tikkurila GPL-S primer</a><span style="text-align: justify;">) which I've worked with earlier and some polyurethane top coat (</span><a href="http://www.tikkurila.com/industrial_coatings/products/temadur_50" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Tikkurila Temadur 50</a><span style="text-align: justify;">) for the engine bay and the underside of the floors. Between the layers some polyurethane seam sealer (Sika and Dinitrol) was applied. This time the top coat followed the primer so soon that I avoided sanding the surfaces between the layers. </span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">The following weekend the weather was sunny and warm (and wife home again) so a good door-wide-open ventilation could be applied when giving the floor a good cot of epoxy in the morning and a top coating in the afternoon after the epoxy had cured long enough. By the 52nd Anniversary of Mustang the project looked like this.</span><br />

Works fine, though, and easy to disassemble for cleaning. The air compressor is also something you could call 'a beginner's model' but manages to produce enough air for the spray gun needs. </div>

Once again it has been verified that the time spent in the garage effectively reduces the time spent blogging. So here is a catch up of what has been done during the dark evenings of the passed winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The body metal works with big replacement panels were done the previous winter before the summer pause. In the autumn the the car was transported back to my home garage.<br />

I intended to have all the remaining patches and minor body work done by the Christmas but, as usual, things do not go as planned. This time it was my back that had other thoughts. So it soon was Christmas time until I was able to start the work.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The car was lifted on the jack stands and the axles and suspension were removed. What I now had on stands was the basic unibody, the single piece of Mustang steel. </div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rear support of the gas tank was heavily rusted and needed to be replaced. It was easier to work with the tail light paned off so that was replaced as well. With the car came a new (made in Taiwan) trunk lid, which was test fit. The shape of the lid did not match at all the shape of the transition area arc between the lid and rear window so I will stick to and recondition the original lid.<br />

The lower edge of the rear window frame got half of dozen patches. The braces by the trap door had been rusted due to leaking rear window seals. I am not sure if replacement panel are available, but a friend of mine made them for me. The upper edge of the opening will still require some hammer and dolly handling.</div>

The rust had eaten it’s way through the front frame rails and the lower areas of the shock towers. Someone might have seen these as a justified opportunity to make a conversion to different type of front suspension, like Mustang II –type of solution. I didn’t.<br />

<br />The frame rail was repaired first with a 2 mm thick piece of steel. Then the lower areas of the shock towers were patched with same stuff. I loved welding these as it was able to use high current as there was enough metal to take the heat.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">In order to increase the rigidity of the front I welded my own application of the additional “</span><span style="text-align: justify;">Boss 302 supports</span><span style="text-align: justify;">" for the shock towers. These changes, along with the fact that I added an angled reinforcement brace to the firewall and that the </span><span style="text-align: justify;">shock towers were prepared for export brace and Monte Carlo bar, should give the front enough triangular structure to make it stiff. At the moment the body surely is rigid. Any of the four stands may be removed and the body position remains.</span><br />

The rear ends of the subframe connectors were designed to conform with the shape of the rear frame. I am quite happy with the looks of the end product of my subframe connectors. Shouldn’t they look that good, you might even think that Ford designed them.<br />

In addition to these more visible repairs, there must have dozens of smaller patches welded and almost endless hours of grinding, grinding, grinding down the welds with angle grinder, sanding disks and by manual scraping. Finally, after the first week of April, the unibody was good to go with some painting. But that's worth for another post.<br />

According the door tag axle digit "A" the car rolled out from factory with Equa-Lock limited-slip differential (LSD) and 3.00:1 gear ratio. Equa-lock was used by Ford until '67 when it was later replaced with their Traction-Lok. I never paid any attention to the rearend until it was time to drop the axle for rear sheet metal repairs.</div>

The rear axle that was had no identification tag left so it is hard to say if the 3rd member was original. The carrier looked like the casting (C20W-4025-F) Ford used in 8" rearends from '62 to '66 and had yellow handwritten "3" on it. When rotating the wheel one side the other side wheel turned in opposite direction. This was the first clue that the rearend would not be locking. When the case was pulled from the axle this was easily confirmed by visual check. This one is an <i><b>open</b></i> rearend most likely replacement from an other car of same period.</div>

To summarize it, the gears (3.25:1) had bad toothing, the pinion shaft was broken in pieces, the pinion and side gears had had their share of chips of metal rolling in between, gear pinion shaft (that enters gear pinion pilot bearing) was worn out, the pilot bearing was loose, the other bearings had seen better days. So, this rearend was shot ! Maybe the last burnout was too much.</div>

Knowing that the necessary parts would cost me close to 1000 €, I checked FMOC message board, if there were any usable rearends available. A fellow FMOC member contacted me and offered to rebuild me a differential to my specification. The price was very feasible, so I took the chance and decided to go with street version of Yukon's limited slip. A couple of weeks later he delivered and collected my old case in return.</div>

The car was sold to me with 302 ci engine in it. At the time of purchase I did not pay too much attention to the condition it had. Actually, I did not care because I took the attitude that it will have to be rebuilt anyway. As it may take a while to rebuild the engine I decide to start tearing it down in order to verify it's condition. Should the block be usable I might as well rebuild it. If it would appear to be useless, I would have plenty of time to decide what kind of motor I will start looking for.</div>

This engine sat years untouched so apparently it was stuck. I tried to rotate the crankshaft but had to give up to avoid breaking it unnecessarily. Not knowing if was seized by failure or were the piston rings just stuck, I drained the fluids and oil and poured diesel oil in. All the nuts and bolts were soaked with WD-40 and left it there for a couple of weeks. Every now and then I rotated the stand to help oil find it's way. Weeks of soaking, no change. So, with careful moves I started the disassembling the parts. I will not go into details but one by one parts found their way to the shelf.</div>

With the heads removed next thing was to remove the pistons. As the engine is seized and you can not rotate it, you just have to remove what you can access. Then try to turn crankshaft and proceed to the next one. A couple of pistons came out nicely and a couple of more with slightly helped by a wooden punch. Lifters could not be removed upwards so the camshaft was removed so that the engine was upside down and by rotating the camshaft they we lifted. Finally when all rotating parts were removed I was able to push lifters out downwards.</div>

Finally we have almost a bare block left. Luckily there was no marks of scratching the cylinders during the removal of the pistons. The block was then scraped clean of remaining gaskets and oil and water plugs and given a thorough wash. The main bearings had copper tone telling the engine has suffered from heat and lack of oil. </div>

I collected the casting and manufacturing information of the engine. It is funny to notice that the engine was manufactured very soon after the heads and block had been cast. </div>

Everything in the engine seemed like it has never been opened. All the bearing had FoMoCo stamping and no over/undersize marks could be seen. A quick check on the cylinders showed that this block is standard 4" bore. I packed the block with main caps and delivered to the machinist for more thorough check. Based on his diagnosis I'll make up my mind what kind of engine this will turn into.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the <b>C80E</b> heads are not known for their contribution to the power production they most likely will be replaced by aftermarket aluminium. And knowing that reconditioning of the original rotating assembly will cost more and produce less power than a <b>stroker kit</b>, they'll most likely stay in the shelf.</div>
