I haven't touched one of my Mustangs in months. My back has been killing me and the weather has been horrible. Well after 8 trips to the Chiropractor I'm feeling pretty good. And the weather today was great.
I pulled the POS radio the PO iinstalled and replaced it with a '66 AM Radio, replaced the door wiring harnesses for the pony lights, replaced and lubed the window rollers, installed new hazard flasher switch and harness, installed new fog light switch and harness, installed new console wiring harness, and installed new gas and brake pedal pads. It felt great just to see my baby coming back together after I won that Doofus award for burning the Ameter wire all the way to the left head light. I fixed that months ago, but decided to rewire most of the dash to prevent future problems.
Tomorrow I'll put the new door panels on and close up the dash with about 50% new wiring behind it and HOPEFULLY no more electical fires, shorts, and burnt bulbs. Sunday I'll replace the wheel cylinders and maybe go for a test drive.
I hope to have it ready for the cruise to Palestine next weekend with the Shelby Cobra Association of Texas. It wouldn't be the same tagging along in the '91.
Just thought I'd share, thanks for listening
P.S. 66CoupeNW, I'll pull the MC tomorrow
