<br />
In the meantime I'm working on the headliner, some interior stuff, electrical, and getting the engine back in the car... which requires me to finish the oil pan, so the oil pump and pickup... the dipstick... and the oil pan itself all need to be properly installed and torqued.<br />
<br />
Right now this is just a notice post, but there's more to come! I'll have pictures of the headliner installation and engine work soon.<br />

But I Started Tons!Yesterday was a good day in the garage because I got a lot of projects started and cleaned out a ton of empty storage bags, boxes, and old sandpaper.<br />
<br />
If you read the blog post two days ago, you know I forgot that some of the interior metal stays visible and needs to be painted black before I can continue.<br />
<br />
So I went down to the garage with the intention of painting the interior first. And I accomplished that!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's some pictures:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWxas-H5brn3s4Ae5_QQ_0qPWjcTtNieMWG3hqpXpwMiK4VxVvQvelszN_e4EQXRIn07ak4d6mBqdZWtpjQ0l9W6epraKtQnV_IGdOE2vqI0kxpVUQfdImeDGHTKz9NPum-Ye75VHLldQk/s1600/IMG_20160905_110005689_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWxas-H5brn3s4Ae5_QQ_0qPWjcTtNieMWG3hqpXpwMiK4VxVvQvelszN_e4EQXRIn07ak4d6mBqdZWtpjQ0l9W6epraKtQnV_IGdOE2vqI0kxpVUQfdImeDGHTKz9NPum-Ye75VHLldQk/s320/IMG_20160905_110005689_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Basically the only metal that stays visible in the interior is the dashboard (not the top though which gets covered with the dash pad) and the 2 vertical roof supports in the front (the rear ones get covered with the headliner, as does the entire roof).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtqJVM7hnpBK_lqWCeEqUKClZlQXtla1soox_pzrX7cV4TDjt2nFSIgD2uIcBvNluOD092hfcCMkGjCxVGE_3I8M866oMxOqDAZPu00hWZtH19iS37SeVNDk91cTqutBDSUSF0sMbGdU7/s1600/IMG_20160905_113901567_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtqJVM7hnpBK_lqWCeEqUKClZlQXtla1soox_pzrX7cV4TDjt2nFSIgD2uIcBvNluOD092hfcCMkGjCxVGE_3I8M866oMxOqDAZPu00hWZtH19iS37SeVNDk91cTqutBDSUSF0sMbGdU7/s320/IMG_20160905_113901567_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With 3 coats on that, sprayed thin to avoid dripping, I'm really happy with the way it looks! There's more to be done inside with black paint... specifically I need to paint the front kick panels, the rear quarter panels, and the inside of the doors... but all that can be removed and done outside of the car. For now everything that has to be painted INSIDE the car, should be done!!! ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So next I decided to tackle the headliner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First of all I figured I would just lay it out to get the wrinkles out but honestly it unfolded pretty nicely and it wasn't stiff at all. I laid it on top of the car:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXiqLrcdmTZTOGWFuCL35-Zvz0Hh_hb4nEajDEeOiQ1qYgXrGJV2ks6sckDWDQ_vkCc_XntF_N7BERkmHj-MHRjiq-EagKlM8f4DxeBnahk3JSBK0sKv9a7c-qxEo5sr-clG0_c6Moa0Q/s1600/IMG_20160905_151609060.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXiqLrcdmTZTOGWFuCL35-Zvz0Hh_hb4nEajDEeOiQ1qYgXrGJV2ks6sckDWDQ_vkCc_XntF_N7BERkmHj-MHRjiq-EagKlM8f4DxeBnahk3JSBK0sKv9a7c-qxEo5sr-clG0_c6Moa0Q/s320/IMG_20160905_151609060.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Heck it looked so good I figured I'd get started and get it in!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So first thing is finding the rods that hang it up. I was really concerned that we hadn't written the order and figured I'd need to check the blog, but "past us" really came through (thanks past Tim and John and Brian and whoever else...):</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLTpbr2ezjBanuPHLZqfc6kxjopYKCT1bdHRkJzn_l1m6NScqmpZHT0qtkzPI8nfkcW-fzJ6O590d_5xEnQ1QeFfI6q2zJK4ZHtZkuuylp6pJtScTq2JuWGajEYpOavsjGWf6zPUWq4vf/s1600/IMG_20160905_152156640.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLTpbr2ezjBanuPHLZqfc6kxjopYKCT1bdHRkJzn_l1m6NScqmpZHT0qtkzPI8nfkcW-fzJ6O590d_5xEnQ1QeFfI6q2zJK4ZHtZkuuylp6pJtScTq2JuWGajEYpOavsjGWf6zPUWq4vf/s320/IMG_20160905_152156640.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Check that out! The order is perfectly easy to determine based on how we marked it front to back and numerically. OK, I'm on a roll. What's next?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well it says to put in the screws for the coat hangers, sun visors, and rear view mirror so you can easily find them to cut holes later. Perfect! Again, "past us" came through. I found all those screws in no time since they were in my tote labeled "interior" and all marked appropriately:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Guys seriously, proper cataloguing of your parts is HUGELY HELPFUL.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
OK so I put the screws in their places, here's some examples:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And then I started with the rear one. The rear one is where the instructions for the new headliner says to start, because it uses these 2 springs that pull it back and keep tension on the headliner (see image above for bag that has springs).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
BUT HERE'S WHERE I HAD TO STOP WITH THE HEADLINER...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because I forgot one important thing, ROOF INSULATION! Duh. So at this point I went and ordered some Dynamat roof insulation and laid the headliner back on the roof. I have to wait on that unfortunately.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While inside I also ordered a new firewall insulation one piece and new front kick panels. We're going to put those in right away so I can start running electrical and other interior engine bay stuff like the heater, steering column, and instruments panel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
OK SO BACK OUTSIDE...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I couldn't call this day done yet, so I washed down the whole car with a wet towel and a dry towel to remove all standing dust from the past 2 years. That took a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I started really organizing remaining parts in the garage, separating what I know we won't need (either because it's been replaced or phased out with a new setup) and throwing out empty bags, old sand paper, trash paper.... etc...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After cleaning up the whole garage and car, I decided to work on the trunk a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First thing I did was rebuilt the lock mechanism so I could actually get into the trunk:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQEmHVw6ksNphki23Zs8b5bCNM25oBK-0lMIaE19s-W8RFWcKSjqBDozAPK7yMwUmK_Fc96fbrgE3wxsYrXXTVlt-RqFfO6NzJWY5ODGBpvizM2Ddt83gG9xFzKFDAfyuB4WPb-Y8bmUM/s1600/IMG_20160905_172555298.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQEmHVw6ksNphki23Zs8b5bCNM25oBK-0lMIaE19s-W8RFWcKSjqBDozAPK7yMwUmK_Fc96fbrgE3wxsYrXXTVlt-RqFfO6NzJWY5ODGBpvizM2Ddt83gG9xFzKFDAfyuB4WPb-Y8bmUM/s320/IMG_20160905_172555298.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I figured I'd lay the carpeting I bought in there to see how much it covers and what would still need to be painted. As it turns out I bought an aftermarket solution that covers literally the entire trunk in black carpet that matches the interior!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This isn't what it would have originally looked like in 66, but it's so cool because it means I can do very little in the trunk and have it still look sharp as hell.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately it's really wrinkly so I'll need to hit it with the heat gun and let it sit out a few weeks before doing the glued down parts:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzl8hYaKA-i31wP3PgbwYHZ18oDEmC4q3LoeIatJuMW5D76vxmyhXmSIs36sUNGmpB928oVT89dPCvIk7pRI7nQsJsgDPvCu6fyLD28ZsppJL-Jh9Lef4dDKLBO3CdRDvN51kMXYV5yQT/s1600/IMG_20160905_172436820.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzl8hYaKA-i31wP3PgbwYHZ18oDEmC4q3LoeIatJuMW5D76vxmyhXmSIs36sUNGmpB928oVT89dPCvIk7pRI7nQsJsgDPvCu6fyLD28ZsppJL-Jh9Lef4dDKLBO3CdRDvN51kMXYV5yQT/s320/IMG_20160905_172436820.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So after that I basically just kept cleaning up and doing little things here and there.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I organized all the suspension parts into one area, all the transmission parts into another, and all the engine parts into another. I'm totally ready to go with the engine, just need someone to come and weld/fix that dang oil pan!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ultimately I'm feeling really good about this weekend. In 3 days I've gotten more done than in 2+ years for sure, maybe almost 3. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next up! Finish that headliner, install the firewall insulation, dry-run the electric, and finish the engine! Hopefully all before the wedding in 2 weeks! Eeeep.</div>

<div>
Yesterday I hit a snag with the engine so I'm moving onward. I've decided it's fine to work on the interior. I chose to start with the underlay and the carpet because they're 2 of the biggest boxes in my garage, and they shouldn't be an issue when getting the car painted. By then I intend on having glass back in, and they'll tape off the inside.</div>
<div>
<i>Unfortunately</i> I forgot until after I was done that there's some interior painting that still needs to be done, so I guess I'm going to have to plastic tarp the carpet off and do that next!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>OK here's what I did:</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last night I pulled out the underlay and carpet and laid them out to start getting out the wrinkles. I bought this stuff about 4 years ago, so I knew it was going to be an issue.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The underlay is kind of fragile, I'm not sure if it's always this delicate or if it's just from being old. But it seems to do the job ok. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I started with the underlay, and put the carpets in the sun:</div>
<div>

OK so for the underlay it was in 3 pieces, so it's pretty simple to lay out and glue with spray adhesive to the floor. But I carefully cut through all the bolt holes and marked them with white spray paint:</div>

I also completely forgot about the floor "drains". They're those 4 wide oval looking holes. They originally had a rubber stopper but I ordered steel ones and used a sealer. I don't intend on ever driving Frankenstang in the rain, but you need those sealed nicely so they're not soaking your floors with water.</div>

I used a lot of items in the garage for weight and dry fitted the right side. I took a heat gun to the corners until they were hot to the touch and then pushed the weights in the corners to take shape. </div>

OK while I was waiting for the weights to form the corners I started working on the wrinkles on the sides. I used the old door panel and kick panel for fitting, but I plan on replacing those later (just don't want the nice new pieces to get anything on them):</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
At this point I started spray adhesive gluing the center out, using the weights to hold down the carpet to the underlay to the floor. I sprayed quite a bit. Overall I used about 2 cans of adhesive:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Just keep working from the center out, using the heat gun and glue in small spots at a time with weights. Be patient and let the spots dry before you move the weights and move on. I found about 30 minutes for each "spot" worked pretty well. </div>

Use the heat gun too! </div>

So let's get that engine out and finish it up so we don't have to pull it again! OK not to be dramatic but we have a separated storage garage in PC, so it's not like we're going to be getting anything done during the winter. So the time to act is now.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63_o09uPpb8Sdb-a0sFJqtx7CJVK2mQ9j0b2XyWbJyGuB_dyabDhYSRiGp3DQbiUR_YKMg_4Q-nHjOFJ-2gY16hyyZ-7scxb_Cy94fRfaG-cze2bArKzRyWZ0kjSw72jcT2pmmMQvgphn/s1600/IMG_4466.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63_o09uPpb8Sdb-a0sFJqtx7CJVK2mQ9j0b2XyWbJyGuB_dyabDhYSRiGp3DQbiUR_YKMg_4Q-nHjOFJ-2gY16hyyZ-7scxb_Cy94fRfaG-cze2bArKzRyWZ0kjSw72jcT2pmmMQvgphn/s320/IMG_4466.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />

We last left off with a car that had an engine in it that needed to come out. I have to properly torque a bolt that the extension for the rear pump is on (a cylinder head bolt), and we had to fix that unfortunate business from 2 years ago before we moved to Utah.<br />
<br />
I don't think I even wrote about it... but we broke a bolt while putting on the oil pan...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First we had to get the engine out. Thanks to my fiancee Maddie, we made quick work of it. After doing a little garage cleaning and setting up this week after work, it only took about 2 hours today get the engine out.<br />
<br />
Here's the process basically we just removed the hood and anything that was chrome (valve covers, carburetor filter, and just to make it easier the whole carburetor, and the spark plug cap). We used a proper load balancer this time which by the way, has 4 points of connection instead of an old chain which has uh, 2. Yeah I felt much safer doing this pull.<br />
<br />
Here's the pictures:<br />

<br />
OK So now here's where things get interesting.<br />
<br />
As I said above, the point of this pull was to drill out the busted bolt from the engine so we could properly seal the oil pan.<br />
<br />
Well get this! I just lifted up the seal and there was enough bolt sicking out for me to screw it out with a pair of pliers! Score:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijqvf_j789QL8pMA7vI9ydVXqC4WC9mT2gCsLaME-9adlYMc808lYeL-v2t9XUj-2lQYj_xPspN0Kv7FEboc_D4PAQpw9eXqzsPOK-BZiGtmdWLbHvZKoCuBAD_lWwF3GeUkdS25rfjLNq/s1600/14224730_10101895926365266_2876268208508888856_n.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijqvf_j789QL8pMA7vI9ydVXqC4WC9mT2gCsLaME-9adlYMc808lYeL-v2t9XUj-2lQYj_xPspN0Kv7FEboc_D4PAQpw9eXqzsPOK-BZiGtmdWLbHvZKoCuBAD_lWwF3GeUkdS25rfjLNq/s320/14224730_10101895926365266_2876268208508888856_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
OK so with that out of the way, I figured all I need to do is go rent a torque wrench, get that cylinder head bolt correct, and then put this baby back together and get it back in the car right!?<br />
<br />
Well not so fast.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I just remembered/re-noticed this giant freaking tear in the oil pan:<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So that majorly sucks. I bought this pan over 2 years ago, and I actually remember now seeing this then and thinking I should return it. But with the move I forgot all about it, which is definitely my fault.<br />
<br />
So now I need to find someone in PC with a welder on their truck who can come and help me. There's no 220v line in there and I sure don't have a MIG or a tank.<br />
<br />
Bummer guys. I may not get this thing back in there this weekend.<br />
<br />
Off to get a torque wrench anyway to do the other stuff, no point in waiting any longer. It's been over 2 years after all...<br />
<br />

Update: I got restless so I pulled out the underlay and the carpet to sit over night. I think tomorrow I'll start on the interior!<br />

In that one I had to admit that I've been ignoring the car for our change in lifestyle and move across the country... but the time is just flying by, and I'm no closer to even starting.<br />
<br />
It's been 472 days since my last update. Over a year. Since then I jacked the car up and tinkered with the transmission. Total I think I've spent about an hour or 2 on the car. In over. a. year.<br />
<br />
This post is to remind myself that Frankenstang is out there, in the garage, waiting for a paint job and a rebuild. There's so much I should be doing right now.<br />
<br />
I could be re-upholstering the seats.<br />
<br />
I could be running the electric cables.<br />
<br />
I could be working on the doors which I foolishly disassembled for no reason other than stupidity (that one's going to hurt, I bet I won't have windows for a while).<br />
<br />
I could be pulling the engine back out that I put in for the move, but that is nowhere near ready. The new oil pump has an arm that sits under one of the bolts at the bottom of the piston shafts. That needs to be tightened properly with a torque wrench. Plus I stripped a damn bolt while putting on the oil pan. That needs to be drilled out and re-set. That dang oil pan doesn't fit perfectly. Hopefully over the time it's been sudo-bolted on it's taken better shape... who knows.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>This post is to remind me of what I could be doing.</i> Because I gotta tell you guys, I can't afford the paint job anytime soon. We're getting married and I'm buried in debt from my college years. The smart thing to do is to work on the mechanical stuff and save my pennies for a paint job some day, but who knows when that will be.<br />
<br />
So what am I doing typing this shit? Well for starters it's been a long day at work and I'm tired. *cough* excuse *cough*<br />
<br />
I just need to suck it up and get shit done. But when your list is long, it can be hard to find the motivation. Plus there's always that room in the house that needs painting, or the flooring job you want to do, or a re-finance you need to pursue, or work that's pilling up... aw well.<br />
<br />

<div>
<b>And now here we are. Next Steps:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. I need to pull the engine out of the car. We put it in for transport but before it can start to be setup I need to fix a few things. I stripped a bolt putting on the oil pan so I have to drill that out and fix it. I also installed a new oil pump but need a torque wrench to ensure all the bolts are set right.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Put the engine back in and start sourcing the parts we still need: alternator, power steering pump, belt setup, ignition system.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Run the wiring.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Start putting the interior back together including reupholstering the seats.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Get her painted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's what I'm hoping to accomplish this spring/summer. That would make it close to drive-able by next winter and then hopefully we can get this all "done" by next year. I'm trying to be realistic, I know there's a lot to do, but I've come way too far to even consider giving up and I'm quite honestly pumped to do the list of stuff above. I'll be posting update all along the way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By the way here are some pictures from when we put the engine in before leaving. It just looks amazing to have something in there:</div>

I had another fantastic winter but got nothing accomplished on the mustang really. At the time of the last post, the body work had been 99% completed and Joe was gearing up to paint. But unfortunately the garage he had was not adequate for the winter and it was best to put the car into storage until the spring. Now we're not sure who will be painting it because of time and location constraints, but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon.<br />
<br />
So here we are!<br />
<br />
We did decide once and for all that the 289, despite it's broken block (2 bolt holes to the trans), is all we have so we better make the best of it for now. Jesse painted her and we ordered a nice chrome dress up kit and I must say, she's fine to look at. Hopefully she doesn't break away from the transmission while driving, but I think we can rig her up just fine with the 4 working bolt holes and maybe 2 large washers. It'll get the car moving and we can go from there:<br />

So last weekend on Easter sunday I finally took a cruise down to the auto body shop and took a look at her. Here she is. Frankenstang cooped up for the winter:</div>

Then this weekend I FINALLY got back to work! Wooooo. I pushed her out on Saturday and started hand sanding the engine bay. The plan is to get the engine bay painted and ready for the engine to be dropped in so I can get the car at least driving. Once it's driving I can get estimates for the paint job and get it to a painter much easier. Here's what she looks like finally out in the sun!<br />

So you may remember that the entire engine bay was brush painted with POR-15. The tech sheet on the POR-15 website said that to paint over it, simply scuff and wear with a wet 600 grit sandpaper wrapped on a foam block.<br />
<br />
After about 4 hours total sanding, and about 15 pieces of sandpaper, it was pretty scuffed up all over. Here's a picture of about 1/2 way through:<br />

After we finally got it all scuffed up and took off the hood, hood springs, and fenders; we covered the upper and lower control arms with masking tape and newspaper, covered the tires, and taped of the cowl vents. Then I applied 1 1/2 coats of primer and let that dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the primer was completely dry I applied the first coat of this:</div>

Now this weekend coming up next steps are:<br />
- Wet sand the paint<br />
- Apply second coat<br />
- Wet sand/ buff that coat<br />
- DROP IN THE FREAKING ENGINE<br />
<br />
Here's to hoping it all goes to plan!Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15892395889130865005noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423149853003688860.post-17337774045701885922013-09-03T05:33:00.003-07:002013-09-03T05:33:19.871-07:00Day 745 - Body Work 99% DoneI just got some fantastic news, the body work is 99% done:<br />

At this point Joe has a couple more lines to perfect and a few small holes to fill and sand out and then he will be painting her candy apple red.<br />
<br />
Expect an update soon, we're nearing the actual rebuild!<br />

The Frankenstang project started exactly 2 years ago today when on Saturday, Aug 20th, 2011 John, Brian and I removed the first seat from the mustang.<br />
<br />
As a little more time went on and the interior and exterior were completely stripped the work needed to fix her began to pile up. After Jon S and I tore the car apart removing every bit of tar and rusty metal we were left with no engine bay and damaged frame rails.<br />
<br />
Jesse Fast came in and we spent a year welding it back together. With a new engine bay and new supports throughout she's become Frankenstang.<br />
<br />
Maddie and I covered her in POR 15 and primer to keep the rust away, and right now the car is in Delaware getting the final body work done and then in a few weeks Joe E will be painting her candy apple red.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping we see Frankenstang come alive by next spring! Thanks guys, so so much.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15892395889130865005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423149853003688860.post-86216585279800717182013-05-28T11:26:00.000-07:002013-05-28T11:26:00.040-07:00Update! Day 647So today is day 647 apparently. That means we're at 1.77 years on the project. Wow. I'm not sure if it doesn't feel that long, or if it feels much longer. The Mustang and I have come a long way and we know where we want to go... we just have to get there.<br />
<br />
These past 4 months or so have been mostly focused on ridding the car of any remaining filler, sealer, tar, and any other goop that may be on there. Before we do any finalized body work I really wanted to make sure we're working with a clean canvas.<br />
<br />
When this thing is done I never want to see rust again. Every single seam will be freshly sealed. Every ding freshly filled with new filler. Every crack welded shut and structurally reinforced. We're not going half assed on this.<br />
<br />
You would think all of this stuff would have come off in sandblasting, but I'm finding more of it each day. The rain rails above the windows for example were just a mess, but they're all cleaned out now.<br />
<br />
In fact we're almost there. Sunday June 9th Frankenstang will be getting shipped to the body shop where over the next few months she will be getting her final body work done and then she will be coated in a factory T-code 1966 Ford Candy Apple red paint. If all goes well I should have her back around September.<br />
<br />
Although it is not ideal, because we all really wanted her running by this spring/summer, it's looking like we may have to wait another year. But fear not. She will ride again.... soon.<br />

EeeekI just wanted to say sorry to my faithful blog readers for not updating in 165 days. Anyone who knows me and knows what the winter means to me knows what I've mostly been up to these days... snowboarding.<br />
<br />
But Mustang fans have no fear! We have actually been working full steam ahead on the car. I have a lot of updating to do to get you guys up to speed. I believe since we last talked we:<br />
<br />
- Finished installing the front torque boxes.<br />
- Fixed the holes in the trunk area<br />
- Fixed the rear frame rails with home made brackets that add extra support<br />
- Painted the underbody and interior and engine bay with POR-15.<br />
- Started sanding/grinding off all the remaining old bondo.<br />
<br />
Next steps are to:<br />
<br />
- Get rid of all the old bondo all over the car<br />
- Use new filler to smooth and shape the car<br />
- Epoxy and PolyUrethane prime the entire car<br />
- Paint the body<br />
- Put the car back together!<br />
<br />
Here are some more recent pics:<br />

<br />
So last night in the dark outside we threw the car back together and rolled it in. Here's some pics of the car in the shop last night:<br />

The champagne one in the back there is already restored. The black one is in a world of shit right now. Heavy rust all over, almost completely disassembled. But we do have the luxury of a lot of parts in the trunk and back seat. lol After the mustang is done we might be undertaking it. I'm very excited about this restoration actually. First a Ford, now a Chevy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's Jesse revving up the restored one, I believe those are 2 1/2" Flowmasters:<br />

Now we have to get the car down to Jesse's where we will finish the remaining body work and get it over to the paint guy for coating! Exciting times!<br />

As of right now the car has been re-stripped of it's suspension and is floating on a forklift at http://www.youblast.us/ (Plastic Media LLC in furlong).<br />
<br />
There it will be completely sandblasted and coated with a self etching epoxy primer. From there it will be shipped down to Jesse's shop in media where we complete the body work by replacing the cowl panels, finishing the welds on the floor pans and rear torque boxes, fixing some holes in the trunk, and installing 67-68 front torque boxes in (66 didn't have them, but the 67-68 fit and they strengthen the front greatly by connecting the rockers to the frame rails). Once that's done we'll smooth it all out, spray it with a sealing polyurethane primer, and then send it over to the paint shop for base and clear coats!<br />
<br />
To get there I had to get all of the body metal parts that need to be blasted and primed fully taken apart. I didn't realize that I was kind of far off.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. The first thing we did was the hood:</b><br />
<br />
There were 7 bolts that hold on the front piece of chrome strip, and the 4 FORD letters that had to be popped out from behind. I broke the pegs for them of course, but i have new replacements for them. There are also rubber bumpers for the hood that have to be pried out.<br />

After it's sandblasted we have to replace the cowl panels (kick panels), cowl top hats, install the 67-68 front torque boxes (66 didn't have front torque boxes but we're upgranding), and repair some holes in the trunk. Then we'll be ready for patching and painting!<br />
<br />
In the meantime I'm making a list of parts we still need to complete the car. If you've been following along you know already that we have most of what we need for the interior and the visual elements of the car. We also have a complete suspension, new wheels/tires, new disc brakes, new power steering rack, new steering column set up, frame rail connectors, and a T-5 transmission. Here's what we still need:<br />
<br />
1. <b>An Engine.</b> It seems fairly obvious. The car was originally an inline 6 200 CID (or a secretaries model as it's known). I say screw that. We're gonna keep it looking somewhat original by putting in a 289 V8. My buddy Nick is selling me his 289 from his 67 fastback. To fix it up we'll need a carb, Alt, PS pump, pulleys, alt bracket, PS bracket, new oil pump, fly wheel, fuel line from the fender to the fuel pump and add a filter, Oil sender, and temp sender. Yikes. More on the engine build to come.<br />

2. <b>A Radiator</b>. The old one is just too small for this much engine, and quite frankly I want to put the money into making this car not overheat. Online reviews led me to this 4-Row Aluminum radiator: <a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/radiator-4-row-aluminum-polished-289-1965-1966/p/RADA22/">http://www.cjponyparts.com/radiator-4-row-aluminum-polished-289-1965-1966/p/RADA22/</a><br />
$350<br />
<br />
3. <b>Hoses.</b> We're gonna need brake lines and fuel lines as well as coolant hoses to and from the radiator, engine and heater.<br />
$200+/- <br />
<br />
4. <b>Heater Rebuild Kit.</b> Since we have the heater apart, we're gonna rebuild it. CJ Pony parts has a rebuild kit that makes it simple and straight forward: <a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/heater-rebuild-kit-1965-1968/p/HRK1/">http://www.cjponyparts.com/heater-rebuild-kit-1965-1968/p/HRK1/</a><br />
$100 <br />
<br />
5. <b>Exhaust.</b> That sweet new engine set up is gonna need a beefy exhaust to make it pur like a kitten, so here's the plan. There's 2 options based on how much money I have left when I get here. We can either go with the standard 2" kit that CJ pony parts offers which is pretty nice, it's a complete kit from headers to tailpipes for under 600 bucks, all ceramic coated: <a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/standard-dual-exhaust-kit-2-inch-with-ceramic-tri-y-headers-289-302-1965-1970/p/EXK2E/">http://www.cjponyparts.com/standard-dual-exhaust-kit-2-inch-with-ceramic-tri-y-headers-289-302-1965-1970/p/EXK2E/</a><br />
$560<br />
<br />
Another option if we want to go really kick ass is to get this magnaflow kit: <a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/magnaflow-dual-exhaust-with-x-pipe-kit-2-5-stainless-steel-v8-1965-1966/p/CBG1/">http://www.cjponyparts.com/magnaflow-dual-exhaust-with-x-pipe-kit-2-5-stainless-steel-v8-1965-1966/p/CBG1/</a> This kit is a 2 1/2" true X pipe kit that is also under 600 bucks but does not include headers. And since this kit is stainless steel we would want stainless steel headers to match so here ya go: <a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/jba-long-tube-headers-1-3-4-inch-stainless-steel-289-302-1965-1973/p/HDJL4/">http://www.cjponyparts.com/jba-long-tube-headers-1-3-4-inch-stainless-steel-289-302-1965-1973/p/HDJL4/</a> and those are another 600 to match.<br />
$1200 <br />
<br />
<br />
6. <b>Wiring</b>. We need new wiring, there's no way around it, the old harness is shot to shit and besides with a new alternator we're gonna need the new wiring harness anyway... Here we go: <a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/american-autowire-complete-wiring-harness-classic-update-kit-1965-1966/p/WHC6466/">http://www.cjponyparts.com/american-autowire-complete-wiring-harness-classic-update-kit-1965-1966/p/WHC6466/</a><br />
$620<br />
<br />
7. <b>Transmission and Clutch</b>. All though we have a T5, it's going to need some work. CJ Pony parts actually sells a kit with everything we need: <a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/t5-transmission-conversion-kit-supreme-289-302-351w-c-1965-1966/p/T5CK15/">http://www.cjponyparts.com/t5-transmission-conversion-kit-supreme-289-302-351w-c-1965-1966/p/T5CK15/</a><br />

Everything that happened while we we've been working these past 223 days. I know 223 days without updating seems like the project must have dropped off, but since the last real post on Day 95 it's been mostly body work, which I'm here to share with you guys now.<br />
So first of all the last time we updated we had just removed the brake/clutch pedal assembly and got the wiring harness disconnected and ready to be removed.<br />
<br />
The next thing that happened was we got the new floor supports welded in.<br />
<br />
<b>1. New Floor Pan Supports! </b><br />
<br />
We first had to move the jack stands from under the floor pan supports to under the cross member which means for the first time we had the weight of the body on our new cross member!<br />
<br />
After that we had to very very carefully remove all the spot welds that hold the floor pan supports to the frame rails and floor pans. We started with the drivers side first, it should go without saying that you want to take as many pictures and measurements as possible before removing structural body metal:<br />

To remove the old supports there are 3 things you have to do. First you have to remove them from the floor pans themselves. In my mustang the previous owner replaced the floor pans and bolted the pans to the supports. We drilled through the bolts and cut with a grind wheel through some of the spot welds that he made:<br />

<br />
Next it's easiest to just cut the old support in two. The transmission mount housing is connected to the floor support. Behind that (towards the back of the car) there's no frame rail underneath the floor support. So what we did is we cut the support around the transmission mount and then simply cut it out behind the mount:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
It took a lot of pulling and prying, the original owner bolted, rivited, and spot welded the support to the floor pan!<br />
<br />
Next we worked on the part of the support that sits over the frame rail. It actually caps over it, and unfortunately it was never sealed properly so a ton of moisture got in there. As we started pulling off the support, the frame rail was just trashed underneath:<br />
<br />

<br />
What we ended up deciding to do was to cut a "J" piece out of the frame rail underneath the support and replace that too... I told you guys, when this car is done there won't be a rusty spot left anywhere! <br />

<b> 2. Seams, seams, seams! Welding the floor pan seams takes forever!</b><br />
<br />
I didn't snap any pictures of this, but Jesse Fast at Fix it Fast Auto Care and I worked for weeks removing each and every bolt on the floor pan one by one with a drill and replacing it with a spot weld, then Jesse went through and started welding all visible seams shut. We've left some seams that were filled with filler, we're going to wait until the sand blasting is done to finish those seams but rest assured that when done this car won't have a single seam on it's unibody frame that isn't welded shut.<br /><b><br /></b><br />
<b>3. Replacing the Rear Torque Boxes...</b><br />
<br />
Next we did the rear torque boxes. These were a huge pain in the ass. Not only do you have to take a ton of measurements to really make sure that you're not screwing up your rear end placement, but the boxes we ordered from Mr. Mustang were delivered without wrapping and came kind of bent up, we had to use the old ones as models and bend them back into place a bit!<br />
<br />
Plus you can't leave your jack stands underneath the frame rails since you will be cutting them out. We moved our stands to under the rear corner of the rockers. <br />
<br />
Aside from that, removing the old ones was a huge, huge, huge pain in the ass. The new boxes comes with a small section of rear frame rail, we started by measuring that distance and cutting a line in the old frame rail for the new piece to match up.<br />
<br />
Then we cut away the floor pan from on top of the torque boxes. <br />
<br />
After that you gotta get the torque box off of the floor pan, the rocker wall, and the rear seat pan as well as the vertical pieces of metal that hold the rear seat and the walls of the car up. I was pretty sure as we pulled them out we were gonna crumple the car up. Obviously we did these 1 at a time.<br />
<br />
Once we had the new one sitting in place we welded it in and then repeated on the passenger side. We didn't completely weld everything yet, we're waiting for the sandblasting to really get the seams cleaned out and rust free, but it's in there nice and tight!<br />

<b>6. Finally removing the remaining interior items...</b><br />
<br />
This actually happened in a couple different stages when we had free time, but I'm going to pretend we did it all at the end.<br />
<br />
We had to remove the remaining interior items which were:<br />
<br />
-Glovebox<br />
-Stereo Harness<br />
-Wiring Harnesses<br />
-E-Brake<br />
-Rear 1/4 Panel windows/ regulators<br />
-Ignition/ Headlights/ Windshield Washer Bezels<br />
-Windshield Wiper Motors<br />
<br />
I know that I normally document all of the tear down for these things but for now I will just add the pictures and come back to it later, I've said enough:<br />

I'm exactly 6 months behind on this blog. So here's what happened while we were gone...<br />
<br />
1. The car has been completely stripped. There are no more windows, no more wires, no more chrome decals, no more parts at all. She is ready to be sandblasted.<br />
<br />
2. The engine bay has been completely rebuilt with new frame rails, floor pan supports, flat panel walls, and a new rod and custom suspension has been installed with power rack and pinion steering in place.<br />
<br />
3. The rear has been completely rebuilt including torque boxes, floor pans fixed, new rear 9" assembly with a new differential, new leaf springs, new edelbrock shocks.<br />
<br />
4. The car is on it's new wheels/tires. It's rolling and just needs to be rolled out and sandblasted now.<br />
<br />
This means we're at the hump. We just need to sandblast, do a little more body work, and then paint. Then we will be putting her back together. It's getting exciting.<br />
<br />

Rest assured we have been working like crazy. It's all body work at this point. The front end is almost finished, we still need to do some repairs behind the drivers side fender on the corner, and replace the hats in the cowl vent. We're almost done replacing the rear torque boxes and in about 2 weeks she will be getting sandblasted.<br />

A HUGE update will be coming soon with pictures of the last 4 months of work. Thanks for reaching out to me and checking on the project guys. As I've told most of you already, it's full steam ahead, I've just been too busy for the blog.<br />

To date the car is almost completely disassembled and the front 1/3 of the body is completely re-built and ready to paint. However last night as we started to work under the dashboard it became pretty apparent that we could no longer ignore disassembling the electrical and various components under the dash.<br />
<br />
Still under the dash we have:<br />
- Windshield wiper motor<br />
- Wiring<br />
- Knobs and Ignition<br />
- Stereo<br />
- Glove Compartment <br />
- Floor Dimmer Switch<br />
- Brake and Clutch Pedal Assembly<br />
<br />
Jesse's coming back on Friday to work on the front interior underneath the dash. We have some rot to take care of around where the new(er) floor pans meat the old floor pans under the cowl area (dash area inside). Because of this it's essential that we get all the tar clear and anything in the way out of the way.<br />
<br />
So last night (day 95) we did a little more disassembly!<br />
<br />
<b>1. Remove the Brake & Clutch Pedal Assembly</b><br />
<br />
a. Remove the brake light sensor from the side of the brake pedal (slides off to the left when looking up).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
b. Remove the assembly<br />
<br />
1. There are 2 bolts with nuts at the steering column. NOTE. These are the same 2 bolts and nuts that hold the steering column bracket in place, we already had the nuts removed when we removed the steering column. Assembly must be replaced before column.<br />
<br />
<br />

There are supposed to be 4 bolts and nuts at the firewall side for the assembly. Mine had 2 left (the other 2 were removed when we removed the master cylinder), plus someone drilled in 2 sheet metal screws for support. Yeah I don't really understand why... We're going to fix that...<br />

<b>2. Pull Out the Wiring Harnesses from the Firewall:</b><br />
<br />
There are 2 harnesses to the engine bay through the firewall. They have 4 metal clips on them that need to be pushed in and then the harnesses can be removed, pulled into the interior.<br />
<br />

<b>4. Remove Stereo (and ashtray):</b><br />
<br />
Pretty self explanatory, we slid the ash tray out (leaving the assembly in place) so we could access the rear nut holding the stereo to it's mount and then removed that and the wiring harness (one piece)...<br />
<br />
This was all done as a hack job obviously, the front box cut out is horrible. We may have to replace the whole dash or at least repair that section... For the look it would be nice to put an original stereo back in and then hide a better one, but I don't know if I care yet or not. I might just put a modern stereo unit in, it is a resto-mod after all...<br />
<br />
Picture of back:<br />

So after that we did a lot of cleaning on the floor pans, and like an idiot I forgot to photograph that afterwards... A LOT more to come this weekend. Really hoping to get those new floor supports in and some of the work inside under the dash/cowl area done... As we work from front to back, this car is taking shape FAST. I'm loving it!Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15892395889130865005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423149853003688860.post-53105218481855293852011-11-21T09:45:00.000-08:002011-11-21T09:46:52.815-08:00Days 84 - 94: The engine bay has almost taken full shape!So over the past week or so we did a lot more cleaning... we got most of the interior above the rear torque boxes done and cleaned, ready for the torque boxes to be removed and replaced.<br />

Then Saturday Jesse came over and worked on the engine bay while Kevin and Brian worked in the trunk cleaning that up. Jesse got both aprons and shock tower panels welded into place!<br />

Getting there! Working from the front back... this body is going to be sexy.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15892395889130865005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423149853003688860.post-69557331836337337522011-11-10T08:32:00.000-08:002011-11-10T08:32:14.934-08:00Days 67 - 83: The 1.2.3!So it's been a little while since I've last updated. I got busy IRL and had to take a major break, about a week and 2 weekends. For the past week we've been back at it though, cleaning all the seems so that this weekend Jesse can come and weld the new floor supports, floor pans, and some of the rear back together. We're also getting our plans together for replacing the rear torque boxes and a small section of the rear frame rails. After cleaning a lot out of the trunk I found that the whole trunk had been replaced along with the rear quarter panels... it's in pretty great shape, we're gonna make it all properly welded together and clean and then coat it with por 15.<br />
<br />
But the cleaning... there in lies the issue. For a while now we've been grinding with grind pads but the tar just covers them and ruins them so quickly and it's becoming an issue of price on materials...<br />
<br />
Well now I think we've figured it out. We bought a couple really awesome tools for the job. First scrapers... ok we've had them and been using them for a little while, but now we also bought torches! If you heat up the tar and then scrape it off you get AMAZING results... but it still leaves residue and does nothing for the rust. So we bought Naval Jelly. This stuff is incredible, I'm telling you. After we burn away must of the tar and scrape it off we put the naval jelly on the area and let it sit for 15 minutes... come back and wash it away with water and dry it down good... then after that you just grind away the excess and you get clean bare metal.<br />
<br />
1. Burn and scrape.<br />
2. Naval Jelly and scrape.<br />
3. Grind that shit.<br />
<br />
It works like a charm, now to do it to the rest of the center and rear of the car!<br />

I guarantee you if i ever do another one of these I'm shipping it out to be blasted because this is just ridiculous.<br />
<br />
We got most of the seams around the floor pan done. Basically at some point someone put in new floor pans and instead of welding it, riveted and bolted it into place. We wanted to get rid of all the rivets and bolts on this unibody and make sure that everything is welded instead.<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures of that process:<br />
<br />
The first thing we did was disassemble the upper part of the front suspension that we dry built. Since the lower A arm and strut are assembled, leveled, and lubed properly, we left them in place and wrapped them in foil so they wouldn't get damaged: <br />

We also started to remove the rear torque box that's rusted out, we're gonna be replacing the entire thing on both sides. Basically creating a brand new front and rear and we'll hold them together with brand new frame rail connectors. This ensure that's all the weight of the car is being held up with all new suspension, all new rear, and all new frame rails and torque boxes, properly welded to the rest of the uni-body. No corner cutting here (well, except where we physically literally cut out the corners...) <br />

After he started to weld the seams he drilled out all the old rivets and bolts and then welded the holes close. This week we will be grinding down his welds so once it's painted it will all look flush! No more frankenstein looking bolts everywhere! <br />

That's it for now! More to come...Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15892395889130865005noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423149853003688860.post-4083810154359805262011-10-17T09:09:00.000-07:002011-10-17T09:09:08.929-07:00Day 57 - Finish welding crossmember, modify steering column and build that front suspension!OK so on Saturday Jesse came over and finished welding the front cross member and rad support. I had to help my dad sand and stain my mom's deck so I was busy during that, but then afterwards we watched the Rod and Custom "how to" DVD again and got started on the steering column and front suspension. This is just a dry build, we're still going to remove the suspension again so that we can paint underneath. The frame rails are being painted with por-15 rust preventative paint. Once that paint is applied we will rebuild the front suspension and steering and then it will be final!<br />
<br />
1. Modifying the steering column:<br />
<br />
a. Cut the old steering shaft from the steering box (it's a fixed shaft) <br />
<br />
b. Put the shaft back in the column at it's original position and take a measurement from the top of the shaft to the top of the column.<br />

d. The splice joint needs to be at a minimum of 1" inside the column, the splice joint is 4" long total, so you want 2" of extension and 2" of original shaft inside the splice (with the splice itself at least 1" up into the column).<br />

OK so with the steering column modified and ready to go we set it aside. We're not ready to install it yet, still have a lot more cleaning and grinding to do, plus painting!<br />
<br />
Next we started our dry run of installing the suspension and steering.<br />
<br />
This is a pretty detailed process. The first thing we did was install the lower A-arm (control arm).<br />
<br />
There's a long bolt that goes through the cross member, coat the shit out of this was anti-seize compound.<br />
<br />

Then what you want to do is install it and make it level with the cross member by using a clamped straight edge underneath the cross member. This is needed to position the sway bar so that you can weld the sway bar brackets onto the frame rails. Here's what that process looked like:<br />
