Your Project / Re: Pinto Powered Mustang Roadster
« Last post by rob289c on Today at 04:03:55 PM »I only made a small amount of progress this weekend. I sprayed the remaining corroded areas of the taillight housings with rust converter, then primer. Then I spread tiger hair over the repaired area. I haven't sanded it smooth yet. Once I do, they will get another treatment of primer, then silver paint. I ordered and received the taillight assembly gaskets so once the housings are in paint, I can reassemble them. I bought more cushion clamps and speaker wire so I can get all the rear wiring properly run and secured. While the interior panels are off I need to swap rear window channels from side to side. I found a resource that identifies why my rear windows don't go all the way down: the channels are currently on the wrong side. Hopefully swapping them will correct the full travel issue. In the near future I need to replace the valve stem seals and install the valve cover, then install the front grill assembly, front bumper, and headlights. Then I can reinstall the engine compartment wiring harness, and install the dash and dash pad. That will allow me to connect all the wiring harnesses. If I can get that done I will feel like I made good progress, although I didn't get to hear it run or drive it.
My excuse for not doing more is that our first grandchild was born yesterday. Our daughter was induced and has been at the hospital since Thursday AM. I had to take my wife there and back several times and I wasn't able to get too deep into any of my projects.
I will be travelling for work again this week but should be back at it next weekend.
Happy Veterans Day to all those that served. Thank you for serving...
