Hey everyone, Thanks for watching the restoration build video on this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Restomod. The vehicle took just about 2 years to restore here at our facility. During the process we did major improvements to the car such as exterior paint overhaul, Sheetmetal repair & fabrication, upgraded wheels & tires, engine performance work & rebuilding, interior restoration and a few custom touches such as suspension work, upgraded efi system, Retrosound sound system and updated paint. Make sure to head over to the website and grab some swag!

If you want to make the hood scoop functional, copy the early production 69 hood that had the 4 wedge shaped cutouts under the scoop. My early Mach 1 had that hood, and the scoop had a rubber block off strip at it's mouth held in by black plastic push in retainers that I removed since it defeated the purpose.

I just replaced my light bulbs in my '69s hood scoop today. It was a pain in the Azz because the guy that owned my '69 before me had the cut out holes so damm small there was no way to even get the old #1895 bulbs out without breaking them. Even brand new #1895 bulbs could not fit back in, how this guy installed those bulbs I'll never know ! I had to cross reference different bulbs and I found slimmer and bighter #1893 bulbs and use duct tape inside and around the cut out to hold them in place. It looks pretty good too believe it or not lol lol. As and added bonus,the next time I need to change bulbs it will be easy as heck, Unlike the absurd amount of time it took to remove the old bulbs.

@@thelemonademan6235 Sounds to me like somebody bolted a scoop onto a plain hood. There are rectangular cutouts with rounded ends underneath each signal lamp for access. Templates are all over eBay if you want to see an example of the cutouts

@thelemonademan6235 2 ай бұрын

@@ryanmuir6338 as far as I can tell the rectangular cut outs are there, it's just a damm finger width hole under that blinker box that's the damm issue, not enough room to be honest for #1895 bulb get thru. I went with smaller bulbs, #1893, which are smaller an brighter.

@@thelemonademan6235 Oh ok, I swapped out that type hood for a shaker setup years ago, but from what I remember the lamp assemblies attached with Phillips screws were supposed to be unscrewed and brought down through the slots to change bulbs

@thelemonademan6235 2 ай бұрын

@@ryanmuir6338 yea , the shakers the best set up. There were no Phillips head screws or any regular screws at all holding the light assemblies in place, they were literally just wedged in there super tight, with half of the wire assemblies rim in the small approximately 1/3" hole, and the other half of the rim outside the hole. I have no idea not only how the previous owner even got the bulbs into that opening let alone how the hell he got them in there so tight. All I did was use smaller bulbs #1893 and create a shroud of duct tape around the rim, then I ran a 6"peice of Duct tape down the hood and onto the front face of the bulb assemblies, then used another peice of Duct tape to wrap the base. No way am I breaking a drill out just for a set of 5 dollar bulbs. To be honest those light bulbs are in there solid and are not going anywhere, and like I said earlier, when they eventually blow out, the replacement next time will be so easy.

This is a sweet restomod, back when I did mine, SEM hot rod black didn't exist, I had to use bumper black. I can see why you ditched the FMX, they don't handle shock loads at all, but I would have gone with a C4, they only consume about 23hp and can be built strong enough to even handle a 460 in drag race applications. In comparison, a C6 will cost about 50hp

I watched this because I’m going to restore this car with my cousin (it’s a family heirloom at this point, taken all the way from California to Texas)

Beautiful build. I have a 69 MachI in black with air conditioner. I can drive the car on a 98 degree day in the summer with AC on and never get above 200 degrees sitting in traffic. I have a 180 degree thermostat, high flow water pump, I got rid of the clutch fan setup and went with a big steel fan that classic auto air sells. Also using the factory original big radiator for AC cars with shroud. Maybe some of these ideas would help you guys out. Car drives down the road at 180 degrees all day in the summer with AC on. Mechanical auto meter gauge.

My dad has a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback that he’s been trying to fix for YEARS because Cogswell ripped him off and for some reason threw all his parts away without telling him (couldn’t see because couldn’t afford a lawyer) and we don’t know where to get good working parts for a good price
