Man, I can not get over how you should be teaching teachers. If we had someone like you in highschool nobody would be ditching classes.

Great progress. Thats coming along nice but sure is bulk hours. Temp and humidity better now?

Woah I had no idea you primed twice, I’ll be checking out your mustang videos for more guidance, can’t wait to see this one painted!

It’s a good time to watch someone that loves to sand all day! Maybe I’ll bring my car to you 🤔

I am glad you got it done . It was bit of a panic when things started to go pear shaped but you figured it out. All the stuff you learn as you go.Thx.

I like Wally. Ya know, I had that problem with a fresh can of high build. I just ended up adding a touch of thinner to it from the get go. It never did spray right with the recommended mix.

Nice work, I'm excited to see your sanding techniques as I'm looking at repainting my stang in the fall...since my first DIY paint job was a fail. I cant wait to see what color you end up painting the cobra.

Just started following you, I have a 1967 mustang convertible and what i am doing is putting a keyed switch where my cigarette lighter is. I have top quality hood locks and most people don't even know where the cigarette lighter is located.

Stressful!

Hope it all goes good tomorrow. Best of luck.

I got some catching up to do on this channel!

Hi Wally. I dunno... I've watched lots of quasi miracles Red Green conjured up with duct tape. That metal tape though, I learned something new. So, colors, has the owner decided ? Cheers!

That's great Wally, sure must feel great to be prepped and ready...

Do you like working on your Mustang or plastic car better 🤔

Pretty warm on the West coast, also. Right now 32c and 36% humidity. Power plant in cobra 302?

I never thought about using metal tape for masking. I’ll have to try it sometime. From my time using metal weld backing tape, I’d have to recommend wearing mechanics gloves when applying it though, because it can give you a paper cut on steroids.

Acapulco blue is the best factory color for a mustang. That's what color my 67 is.

The compass trick is something ill will be using, as always great informative content. Cant wait to see it primed and block sanding techniques I can use on my Mustang. Great Job!

I would have gotten a tach for where (giant) fuel gauge is, and a smaller fuel gauge and voltage meter for where you put the tach, assuming a larger tach was available.

Yep, I agree with finding the screws, for my Jeep, OEM screw (Mopar) is $9 at Home Depot $1.59 and I’ll get zinc coated to prevent rust.

I would leave the nuts off

You should have worked at the factory! 😂

Hi Wally. That hood ain't movin'. Brilliant fix. Allow me to make a suggestion; at this stage, where no primer has been applied, the owner might opt for side-view mirrors as those I have on mine. They mount on the wind wings' brackets. That allows for 'clean' fenders where the chrome bullet side-view mirrors are often installed. The kicker is this, these mirrors I propose are far more efficient than the bullet type. I've had both and the rear view result is considerable. Breeze Automotive fabricates them. Their description: 'Billet Aluminum Side-View Mirror Set with Polished Finish, Made in USA', P/N: 35303. They're pricey but well worth it due to how much I can readily see what's on both sides. Wish I could post a pic. On that, very much appreciate your attention to detail. Gonna be a Fisker like no other. Cheers !

Very nice Wally, meticulous I might say.

Your level of ingenuity is incredibly high and very creative.

Great progress! I can’t wait to see how you prime and paint it all as I need to repaint my stang!

Really coming along nicely Wally. Are you painting this one in your garage too?

Rather using the same shims on the trunk hinges, once you know the thickness, whats your thought on custom hinges?

Fitting that up takes so much patience. Great job. It probably used to look good at a distance but you would see more and more problems the closer you looked.

Looks great!

Oh, and are ya still feeling like road tripping to Barry's abode?

Looking good Wally

Thanks for the great video, which is really easy to follow - even for not-native-speakers like me. Funny thing is - I had the exact same idea about courtesy lights in the back when I tackled the interior of my 70 convertible three years ago!

I have a 66, my question is this. Which springs would you go with after the Shelby Drop on a 66 Coupe?

I've always cursed the short harnesses. I've never given consideration to 'one inch of wire over a million cars.' That's 15.7 miles of wire for a single contact. That equates to a ridiculous amount of wire saved per car. Thanks for the video, will be doing this soon.

Very Informative! Thank you!

Where did buy the felt trim ??

Looking good Mr Wally, hey, I have a PT 109 model as well and a "Petite PT" that my uncle built from scratch. He was on PT's in the south pacific as a radar specialist. Top secret stuff at the time.

Thanks for the video. For the three screws that go into the upper part of the instrument panel and then into the dash, they go through the front plastic bezel and sit on top of the back metal portion of the instrument panel correct? I am having trouble becuse the lath screw heads are too wide to go through the front plastic bezel. Can you tell me the exact specs of those lath screws you used? Thanks

Very informative video. Liked and subscribed! I am thinking of buying a pair of JL Audio12W0v3 that is best used with amplifier power in the 75W - 300W range and is optimized to operate in a moderately sized 1.375 cu. ft. (38.9 l) sealed enclosure, or a 1.75 cu. ft. For ported box. If I calculated right , the sealed boxes they come in have the following volume: (13 1/4 x 5 x 23)÷1728 = .88 cu ft. Do you think the foam would be enough to make up for the difference in volume? Or do i need to make a larger box? I've got a 65 mustang coupe and want to bolt the boxes behind the seat divider. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Cant wait to see the car primered, you have put in a ton of work! Keep it up so us newbies (like me) can follow along to paint our cars in the future.

Nice work!

Things will look a lot different once that primer is on. Are you changing the door hinges , so this corner chipping will not happen again?

Have you done a video on how to remove the side panels to get to the cylinders? I’ve got the seat out but need the panels off

Dang that’s going to take some serious work, can’t wait to see the progress!

I think it was factory news! But unlike with metal and moisture the foam should work good in your case. I had to just cut up a boat to dispose of it for my trailer jig. Found they use a bunch of foam in them it and fiberglass was fine. Not so good with the wood it rotted out 🤷‍♂️

OUCH, sins hidden under the paint. Good luck with all this Wally. She’s gonna look great.

Ouch... You really didn't need to find that. At least you have a plan to sort it out. That foam is great for so many things it is strong ,light and easy to work with. Until the next one.

It’s called the Arning Drop after the guy that designed the mustang suspension system

Hey Wally, nice work. I have zero experience with fiberglass body work so I’m watching your progress. FYI, I’m in Ohio, family emergency trip. Unfortunately I left Betsy at home.
