I just fabricated new throttle linkage.

So I'm TRYING to do something on the car every day even if its for 30 min to an hour to make progress.  Today I disconnected the C4 trans lines on the tranny side and drained the tranny fluid.  Getting it ready to pull the engine and tranny all at once.  Would ya'll suggest just taking an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel to the exhaust underneath?  The nuts on the exhaust couplers are obviously rusted beyond help.

Depends on what you want to reuse!! If the exhaust will be replaced with something new, hack it out of there with an angle grinder, sawzall, or gas ax!! Or be gently with the parts you want to keep. If you reuse the exhaust manifolds, make sure to keep enough of the old studs for the collectors to grab onto for removing to replace.

My To-Do's make me feel sooo insignificant.....but then again, I like whining...I'm a victim.

How come this place ain't called MustangMikes? Who's this MS fellow?....leader of the resistance?

Changed all the power steering hoses on the 67. 

Not that I need an excuse to do the easy things instead of the jobs that really matter. While waiting for parts for the overheating issue, butchered the antenna so the cover didn't need a hole.



Trashed cable, cut at the base, drilled a tiny hole & JB WELD to hold the ball w/ a 1/4" piece of it's shank. I listen to R & R at home, while in my pony & vette all I need is the exhaust tones or the loud engine noise in the other 2.

Along that theme....getting rid of these & replacing w/ stock panels. What's the name of that rear long piece, so I get the correct part?



1 antenna & 1 kick panel done....I'm bushed....let's take the vette down the hill for coffee....then nap time.

You be the man with that class act. Only thing that might beat that is this;


Funny about the snow...as I was driving home from coffee, I was wishing the A/C in the vette would stay fixed!...it was 80F & combined w/ the heat the 427 produces, I was starting to sweat!

You must have some great snow tires on the Mustang, most cars would be sliding sideways at the incline you're parked. Did you convert it to 4WD?

I got my mig welder set up for .024" solid wire, then spent a couple hours proving to my self that I should pay someone else to patch up my quarter panels.

At least I practiced on some scrap!  Seriously I now know I need to go find someone who does good work, sell a toy and just pay them to do the sheetmetal work.

Ah, with a properly set up machine a monkey can mig weld. Post some pics of the settings on your machine and of your welds.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!

You are NOT using an extention cord on your welding machine....are you?!

We can talk you thru this.
