Oh I've had lots of experience with removing the gauge cluster. I remember going back up with the steering column you have to be very careful and make sure any hot wire does not get pinched up against metal. Good thing I caught it. Almost burned down my car. But it is a learning process. Take your time and be very careful.

Awesome details, I was there on Monday and with Matt’s help I’m pretty sure this is where we are at with my a/c. Have a blockage of some sort at the evaporator, so it looks like I have a dash pull in my future also. I opened the system and will try to flush it 1st but I bet that won’t work. This is necessary here in the south if your going to drive this car around with any regularity during the summer. Matt said this was going to be a good detail vid, and he was right, thx 😊 y’all.

I am 6'2" and I used to be able to grab the rim and pop it but never dunk. Maybe I could have dunked a ping pong ball. LOL. I too am too old now and a "few" pounds heavier.

People cry and cry about doing the heater core and pulling the dash in these cars and how you can cut this and that and hurry this and hurry that, if you have one of these cars and you can't take the time to do a heater core correctly just sell it to someone that really appreciates it,take your time, do it right, replace things behind there, re wrap the wiring, clean everything, do it right. I did mine and i even sourced a oem heater core,a task that took me 4 months to find one but that cheap ass aluminum crap just wasn't gonna cut it,thing's not even the right size, ha ha ha, my Mustangs are not even show cars,they show their age but i sure enjoy working on them!!

Dover on foxcastmedia I think he changed a heat core I think it was less then a half hour!! Man ur boy Kevin builds I know he is young he wants to run a GT40 intake with a 1 inch spacer he cut his hood brace out cause he said his friends hood hit the intake there's no way it would hit then I never seen nobody put a brand new set of head lights in and not clean where the old headlights were but like I told him he isn't going to listen to what people tell him he is going to do what he wants!! So I unsubscribed from his channel I have a Trick Flow intake 1 inch spacer stock hood fine ! Now he's trying to find a roller I think he needs to find a job first people are sending him money & part's to help with what Matt gave him for the Vert ! But I don't know he is just a kid maybe when he gets a lil older in starts to understand u know people have other ways they do stuff then Matt does and it works for them I know Matt is a great mechanic but people do stuff differently other then him!!

In all honesty I have no problem with someone unsubscribing from me (or anyone else on KZfaq) if they don't enjoy the content. If you stay subscribed but don't watch KZfaq notices that and it doesn't help your channel, also I want people who are subscribed to me be engaged and enjoy what i'm doing (or at least most of it). Yeah, everybody seems to do things differently, but as you know Matt is teaching me and i'm sharing his ways with you guys, or at least my interpretation of them! LOL.
