October 3- Pat’s Undercarriage Inspection
P-Dog went through the fuse box on Pat’s Mustang and replaced the bad fuses he found, as well as did some general wiring cleanup-work (wrapping exposed wires, replacing bad wire, etc). We also did an undercarriage inspection and took photos of the new headers and brake system. As you can see, its a tight fit with those new headers, but this Mustang’s going to purr!
October 1- Pat’s Brake System Inspection
Here’s Pat inspecting Pat’s Mustang (haha, don’t get confused now!) and its brake system. So far, everything looks great! Pat and Tim also just finished installing the emergency brake system, and now its real tight and holds strong.
September 26- Pat’s Engine All Done Up
Here’s a few more pictures of Pat’s Mustang and the stuff we’re hooking up. There are also a few good pictures of the engine all done up, and man, does it look good! Check it out, lots of chrome, beautiful Le Mans valve covers, the whole thing.
September 24- Pat’s Solenoid and Battery Hook-up
Here we are hooking up Patrick’s battery and solenoid and electrical system before the big crank (video’s already been posted, check it out). We re-wrapped the wiring to give it more protection and prevent shorts–sorry its a short slideshow, but there’s not much to see with a solenoid hookup!
September 19- Pat’s Parts
Here are a few parts we needed to properly finish up Pat’s Mustang. We have shock tower brackets, radiator clamps, and a bit more to get everything mounted just right.
September 26- Pat’s Engine Crank
Alright, here it is! After much patient waiting, Patrick’s gonna get to hear his baby growl! Personally, we think that some of the engine’s great sound was lost over the video feed, but hey, it still sounds good, and it runs WAY better than before we got our hands on her. Check it out!
September 14, 16- Pat’s Assembly
Here’s some pictures of our re-assembly work in preparation to ship Patrick’s Mustang overseas. Here we are doing the last of the engine hook-up, such as the pulleys and the shock braces, as well as re-installing the steering components.
September 5, 8, 11- Wrapping Up Patrick’s
Here’s TimBo and Co wrapping up Patrick’s Mustang and preparing it to ship. Tim is installing the exhaust, headers to mufflers to tips, as well as clamping down the radiator hoses in this photos. They are also installing the necessary bits of the interior, so that we can drive the Mustang when necessary and Pat can take it home! We’re only doing the necessary bits because Patrick plans on acid-dipping the Mustang in Germany, so there’s no need to install everything.
August 30- September 9- General Update
Here is a general update on Patrick’s Mustang. We have bent the brake lines for installation, so we had to remove the master cylinder. We’re also beginning to put the interior together temporarily for its ship overseas. Being that we’re getting very close to completion, we’re finding some minor things that need attention that we could not foresee.
August 29- Mustangs Unlimited Parts
Here is another batch of parts we just received from Mustangs Unlimited for Patrick’s Mustang, including some components for the steering wheel that weren’t there to begin with (hence the horn not working) or were in bad condition. We also got in the mounting bracket for the windshield washer bag, so we can mount that up properly as well.
