it's the perfect vibe well we're halfway through our 1969 mustang build and man
am i getting excited last week we got it out of paint we got our motor and transmission installed
this week we're going to focus on the interior and the rear end of the car including finishing up the
ridetech rear suspension and adding our 9-inch rear end from speedway motors let's get to it
is there something that's supposed to go here in that square hole yeah this peg goes in that
square hole oh okay you put that in from the trunk didn't know if there was something that
was supposed to go there see now's the point where you get pretty excited because it's
starting to look like a car again it's kind of always look like a car are you on one today now
sometimes you have to hug the car and talk to it
usually just to reach
see now tony while i left the tail lights out temporarily
yep bolts to this are in the trunk all right the shims are there as well where did the shims go uh
between the body and this generally if needed or do they yeah we need them uh it's really as needed
so we'll take a look and see what we have clearance watch okay okay okay
so many bolts to line up
so these new led tail lights from eddy motorsports not only look great on the car but it's just one
more piece and looking just like the rendering that we sent over to fender really getting excited
about seeing this guitar and this car together now it's time to get after the nine inch rear end
from speedway motors since we ditched the stock leaf springs and shocks we'll be upgrading to
ridetech's four link and coilover system we do have to measure for four small tabs that
will be welded to the rear end once that's done we'll send it out to powder coat once we get it
back from powder coat and reinstalled in the car it should dramatically improve the ride quality
over the old stock junk that was in this thing nothing left to do but to go put it in let's go
it's off the fab we go
so we come to the point of the project where we're going to install the dash in the car
and after looking at everything once we got it out of the car you can see the rat's nest that
we had in the wiring harness so if your project allows and you have the time a new harness is
really worth the money because you don't have to worry about the fire issues or any kind of
shortage issues once the car is put back together and since we have the dash out anyway perfect
time to install the new wiring harness paint everything up get it nice get it back in the
car and then that's just one less problem you have at the end and with the timeline like we've got
and a great car like this fender car we want it to be the best it can be
so i feel like we passed the halfway point on 1969 mustang build we've got
the windshield out of the car and we're getting ready to install the
headliner it's one of those subtle items that's very important so take your time
well the headliner's done and hey it doesn't look that bad well here you go
well i'm just glad it's done well is that rear end done well sean's picking it up right now
but while we're waiting on him why don't we call ron and see how that sweet guitar is coming along
i heard it's going to break some necks really what yeah dude i thought that was
awesome
so
foreign
i just got back to the shop whether we're in for the fender mustang i'm
excited to help out on this build watch your toes and your fingers
i
there it is
awesome
so we finally got the last major piece to our drive train in the car we've got a nine inch
rear end from speedway motors with a posi and 350 gear so it'll be awesome with our motor
cruising down the highway something you can really enjoy when you're cruising around so
get all that set in place get our drive shaft up and uh we're good to go you guys ready to do
this let's go tony uh-huh come on all right let me grab my bolts got your bolts i got my bolts
teamwork so i just assembled the coils for you i haven't really adjusted anything okay so we get
the car down on the ground obviously and get it under its own weight well these ride tech
cool overs are such a better option than the leaf spring shock option that the car originally had
oh for real it's gonna make it drive like you know whereas before they drove like wagons i don't know
i don't drive too many mustangs but i'll take your word for it i'm missing out yeah you're missing
out on this you know that i don't think so i think you are it's not what my chevy buddy tell me
oh lord what do you need help that's heavy
i tried to tell you it's these cool lovers yeah it's top quality stuff i feel like i could it
needs to be rolled here i got an idea probably a bad one but i'm gonna try it anyway okay
let's just loosen this i know what it means do it the hard way we do everything the hard way
no just loosen those i'm gonna go ahead and loosen that just go ahead and loosen
these bolts here i bet you we get it in no problem was that three quarter yes
money all right so everything else i just i guess just lock it down because uh
i got a lot more stuff to paint yeah and i got to get the drive shaft under this so i'll finish
this up i just paint stuff onto the paint i will hey mcgee get this thing wrapped up
man you really came in clutch picking up that speedway motors rear end for the powder coater
and helping us get it installed i'm glad i could help out the cradle and the coilovers are pretty
easy to install in there and uh ridetech sent some pretty good instructions of that stuff
well i think we ought to call it a day but be ready to hit the ground running monday
coming back on monday oh yeah you're coming back you don't get here that easy
bye
