3 minute(s) of a 131 minute read

DROVE THE MUSTANG HOME YESTERDAY!!!!!!! It sounded glorious. I owe it to @marlon_fly_ford for fixing my brakes up. I’ll probably do another post dedicated just to him and the issue and work he did because that man is a wizard. Anyway ? Just a random hodge podge of some stuff I did yesterday.I worked on cleaning up the interior a bit, removed the seats and put in some sound deadening material from @drakeautogroup / @mustangsetc . Also added some new mirrors on the mustang ⭐️ cannot believe this baby is driving. I do have a small electrical shorting issue I have to figure out (something with the hazard light circuit which leaves the engine running ?but this is finally feeling like an actual car and less like a hunk of metal. If you have insight on my electrical short let me know!

Well, if my new neighbors didn’t know me before I cranked the engine they sure as shit do now. This thing is monstrously loud and I am both terrified of it and love it all at once. In honor of this momentous day and a year of hard work I thought I’d do a part 2 of things “no one tells you when starting a project car build.”

- most of the aftermarket hoses you buy are too long or too short.

- you’ll learn mechanic math real quick. Ask me what 7/16th was a year ago and I would’ve blinked at ya.

- invest in a sandblasting box so you don’t do what I did and spend 2 hours wire wheeling a small piece of metal

- get a @fendergripper

- whatever you think it’s gonna cost, add 20%

- if you keep adding things to your @cjponyparts wishlist you will go broke ?

- that one person on that forum thread who is having the *same* issue you are hasn’t updated the thread since 2009 and probably didn’t post the solution. Try reaching out anyway.

- you’ll meet and talk to really cool people from all over the world ?

Ok I’m lame , thanks for reading . Drop what you’d add below ???
