Austin, kickdown is when you step on the pedal , and it forces the transmission to kick down a gear or 2. Keep the content coming. I'm in the middle of my 68.. Learning a lot.

You going to put a 5.0 fuel injection in it?

This is a great idea. Thank you!

you scared me when the car actually started moving on the blocks. You are right, make sure you know what the ultimate engine output will be before replacing the transmission, My old car I started with a world class but then ended up with just under 500hp on the motor and destroyed the input shaft and ended up buying the TKO anyway. Once again give you credit for working on the road, reminds me of my youth working on my back in my driveway. Good luck on the swap, they sell kits with everything you need to switch from auto to manual.

great job. its protected, its a solid color, and its decent paint/shine. Great job!!

Unprepared sloppy overview

You can probably find online how many turns out on the idle mixture screws on the carb would be good to start with and probably just leave it there. A Holley 650 or so you can start with all of them 2 or 2 and a half turns out and you will be fine. Then just adjust the throttle idle screw to where you like it, around 800 or so, and make sure it doesn't die when it is in drive with the brake on, around 600 rpm or so. If you have to go up a little that's fine, but if it keeps dying then you may have a vacuum leak somewhere or something wrong with the carb.

The screw you mentioned you didn't know what it does looked like the idle adjustment for your throttle position. The idle mixture screws on the carb needs to be adjusted first and then adjust your idle with that other screw after you get the idle mixture screws good for the most vacuum you can get.

Very nice.

Wow, people are acting like their first paint jobs were perfect and everything they do is always perfect their first try. I've learned a lot about painting over the years because I've made a lot of mistakes. It's actually good because now when I make a mistake I don't sweat it because I know how to fix it. lol Just got to get in there and keep doing it. Good job and good to see your other half taking an interest in it too. Very cool.

Great Job!! and you did it with a flux core welder.💯💯😎💥💥

still love that tach..... I already have a cheap "made in China" 2 inch tach so I am going to have to sneak that by the wife..Custom interior pieces are always harder than original, Great work

what manufacturer?

Always grows !

nice setup

How do you take them off?

I believe there is a screw that holds it against the side of the car. pull them out and look on the body for a place where a screw can go. Also the aluminum sill trim usually has a more pronounced bump to accommodate the kick panel so it sits flat against the rocker. That is the problem with aftermarket parts, they are generic to fit many body styles and years and don't fit without some work. One job at a time and you will get there, keep it up

Where the panel is not as tight as you like, i would just add those 2 clips

Great video! Unfortunately there was some audio problems some popping so I missed some of your comments. I have been studying how to do this job, and your tips will help! Thank You for making this video!

nice alternative to clips, but music is annoying. jmo

I had so many cars where the rear package decks rotted out. Sometimes it was the window seal but a lot of time it was simply condensation on the inside of the glass running down over MANY years. my record was 4 6x9 three way speakers on the rear deck , of course I think my hearing loss today is attributed to that . I suggest trying to push the speaker mounts up from underneath the entire rear shelf and through the cardboard you created , not between the cardboard and the deck or it will be lumpy. keep up the great work , restorations are one day at a time

What model of speakers did you use? Thanks,

The under coating on other cars ive been involved with was able to get removed with propane torch and metal tool used for patching drywall name escaping me anyways use drywall tool to scrape heated coating

good stuff, I used the autosound dual coil for the dash speaker as well. I forgot to ask, on the mirror , did you use the original mount or did you glue a new tab on the glass. I am using the original tab and with the mirror being so heavy it is having a hard time holding still.

i like that it transmits to the original radio from your phone, well designed

Some people don't realize the prep work that goes into doing what you did. Most wouldn't have the courage to take on what you did with this paint job. Hats off to you. I remember the first time I painted and entire car in my garage in the middle of winter. Here is what it looked like doing my last spray of clear coat. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6mferJ-3M-zk2Q.html

Im waiting on the cutting and buffing of the paint video see how good it’ll look

wish I had found this before I installed a cheap 3 inch tach in the clock delete, Looks great I might have to reach out to him and grab one myself. Thank you

Of course that glass will crack if you put pressure on it this way. You should have take a knife and remove the rubber seal of the window first (the sides of it). That will free up the glass and you can take windshield away by hand. Then you just clean up rest of the rubber (sealer) that was below the window. I removed like that rear window, no damage.

coat hanger heated up a little will allow you to go around the window seal.

Once again I commend you on working in the street, a true shade tree mechanic. I installed connectors as well as I find these unibody cars roll all over the place. great progress on the car I am sure you will notice a difference in the handling.

Sorry, I had to edit this as I typed a long response as to why I also replaced the seats and how I lowered the platforms to get head room as well as suggesting you split the rear seats in half to fit better. Then of course I watched the last couple of minutes of your video and you said the same thing, So much for commenting WHILE watching. Next time I will watch the whole thing first before typing. LOL.. BEst of luck as you are making great progress

Why did you bother Sanding it when it looks like you Rolled out the paint with a dead cat.😂

IIRC , floorpans for coupe/fastback , the lip on outside floorpan faces upwards. By convertibles , this lip faces downwards.

Congratulations on your nuptials.

I appreciate your DIY mentality. I would restore the brakes to original. Unless you plan on putting a big block motor in it and need heavy duty brakes. JS

That color is fugly

Glad you are okay. I believe I saw your jack on the floor pans… if so, a big no no. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsl4Z6djt9DFe4E.htmlsi=ayCoKl-YFUBv7A6p. A video from CJ pony on jacking mustangs. I will be following you. I have a 67 coupe. Good luck with everything.

good work, giving these old cars better brakes is the right way to go. I had the same issue with my conversion as well as the brakets needed "modification" for clearance. I do have to ask about the spacers, do you have a huge offset on your rims or is the wildwood kit recessed ? (ah, I should have waited to the end, looks like you are removing the spacers)

That's how it was for me. My first time. Ran into many issues and was nervous about it. Now, looking back I know I made a lot of mistakes. The temperature for the shot for the day was too hot. 90 degree dry day. Had a lot of overspray. I try preventing water in the line and still water got in. 30 gallons compressor could not keep up. Bugs for the year was bad, that is why I waited till summer. Should have waited till Early Fall. I was fighting bug and spray gun.. and I have a good quality gun. Devilbliss.. dialing in the speed and flow of the paint is very important. Paint would flash before it hit the car and psi was too high. Every little things count. Looking back I should have practice more on test panel fender or door. Maybe a little less hardener too. I ran into almost all the problems with spray painting. But it was fun doing it.

You should’ve stripped everything off the car It is what it is there’s a first time for everything.

I love seeing you and your girl as a team. Get it done 👌

You butchered that paint job 😮

I give a d for effort

mmm look at all that yummy rust :)

Great job! it's awesome that you are tackling this yourself. going to be a nice driver.

Where did you buy the 67 mustang? Cars from up north would have had a lot more rust unless it sat in a barn for 30 years.

Is that a 289 or a 302? Sounds good

Nice cammies lol

Do trunks and hoods front to back never side to side
