Check out the Baer brake install in an upcoming issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine.

This is what I did today. I'm not finished yet but it's a start.

Because of working on customers cars I don't have a lot of time to work on my projects but we have gotten a few things done.
My son Brian, Steve Baur (former Modified Mustangs & Fords editor) and Buddy installing a Ron Morris EFI fuel pump and lines for a story that was featured in the magazine. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...pse32dc2ce.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps2a35670b.jpg |
It looks nice.

The fuel lines and filter are attached to the subframe connector

I forgot to show this but awhile back Mark Houlahan came by the shop to help us install the Ron Francis wiring harness for the SOHC Mod motor.

Brian and I were trying to figure out what we were going to do to cover up all the wires in the trunk and we found out about Mustang to Fear's trunk kit for the coupe. At the time we inquired they only had one made for the Eleanor style taillights. Rich said he was going to make one for the stock taillights and we also received the first gas filler neck cover.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...pslaqvd0pz.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...pskfopjnj5.jpg We still have to make a bracket to mount the computer and control panel behind the the Mustang to Fear trunk panel kit. You can read all about the install How to Finish Off Your 1967-1968 Mustang?s Trunk |
That's Nice Rusty!
|
Nicely done, Rusty!
|
Very Nice.

Rusty,
In one of your posts you used an epoxy to attach quarter panel extensions. What was that product? Can the pot metal style extension be welded if they are cracked, or need repairs on just the extension? I would like to fill the marker lights on my 68 Torino extensions, and then epoxy them onto the quarter panel. Thanks, Joe I really look forward to what you and your Son do. I am blown away at the craftsmanship. I also enjoy all the one off modifications. Your customers must be like a kid in a candy shop when they visit. I know I would be. |

I don't know of anyway to weld pot metal. |
Thanks Rusty:military:

I decided to mount the wiring behind the seat on the plywood board that came with the Mustangs to Fear trunk kit.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...pslbwixdun.jpg I replaced the coil packs and plug wires but still have a lot to do under the hood. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psnxmhcywf.jpg |
We installed the Dakota Digital gauges awhile back but I never did get a photo. Now I need to get a battery installed in the trunk so I can see them in color!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psjtyo57ar.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psf4cowpvs.jpg |
They look good. Was it a kit or did you spec them out specifically?
|
Mustang to Fear dash pad came in a long time ago and is a very well made dash pad. Now if I can only get the wiring straightened out under the dash I can install it.

I ran out of room at the shop so I moved this to my house and started working on it again on the weekends.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psmpn94zmi.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psyylekn5i.jpg I had a hard time finding a master cylinder that would clear the cam cover and did a search on line and found this Bronco II master cylinder and it fits. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psoktcyuaf.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps0d67oyqs.jpg |
I painted the headers. It's tight but they fit. I want to get it running and check for problems before I get them coated.

LOL ------ I have custom made stainless steel big tube headers on the '65 Mustang track car --- I've never changed the plugs on the car... I wait until the end of each season and they pull the motor to refresh it.....

After a little modifying of the headlight buckets I got the headlights with built in turn signals to fit.

I hooked up the battery in the trunk (I still need to hook up the ground cable to the engine) to see what works. The Ron Francis trunk mounted battery kit has two ground gables one small short one that I have going to the body and a large long one that they want mounted to a bell housing bolt. So far the AC 3 blower speeds work, taillights, turn signals, and headlights.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psyubgrnek.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psk8e9gueh.jpg I have a problem with the lights in the dash flashing when the key is off and the steering column harness is hooked up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...pst4wffins.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps0008rsmt.jpg |
Tail lights look nice and bright! Coming along nicely, Rusty!

I installed the battery ground cable from the trunk mounted battery to the engine block and cured most of my electrical problems.

We have been busy working on customers cars and I haven't posted in a long time so it's time to show a little progress on the 68 Coupe.
Test fitting the TMI interior. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psq5v1gnq3.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psdgjqxtyz.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...pskogxtrbm.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psuxvc7efn.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...pshtkygbhk.jpg I loaded in the trailer and moved it back to the shop so we can get this project on the road early next year. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...pseogrvtra.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...pspd5hqivl.jpg |
I like the color combination for the interior. I think it goes well with the red. Good luck finishing it up, Rusty.

I ordered a remote oil filter kit and when it came in it had large 12 straight o ring fittings with a barbed end the wouldn't clear the frame rail after a long search I found what I needed at Phenix Industries and ordered an adapter that reduced the hose to 10AN with 90 fittings. I was impressed with their products and decided to be a dealer. Nick made the new oil line and mounted the filter on the fender apron.
