I can also confirm on behalf of my father. The hood of his car was damaged and it exposed the fiberglass.

This made my cry happy tears. Love this video. I have a 2004 GT which was my late brother’s car which he loved. I have put into shows and it gets first place most of the time. I hope my brother is happy I’m taking care of it. He would have loved this video.

That's my dad at 7:45. shortly after this video was taken, they put in robots to finish those spot welds. He retired after a couple of years after they moved production to Flat Rock.

Lots of them came with fairly large gaps between the front fenders and doors, on one side or the other, mine included. On mine, ( 1994 GT ) there is a large, uneven gap on the passenger side. I saw the same, on a brand new 1998 Mustang GT, that I test drove, and was thinking about buying, so it's something that didn't improve over time. Some were arrow straight, others were not. The reasons for which, maybe no one knows ??? Maybe some of these were built on Monday mornings, when half the staff were dealing with hangovers ?????

I have a 98 gt 5 speed fully optioned out (Leather seats, mach 460 sound system, etc) i bought used a few years ago from a friend it has 144k miles currently and is still running as good as new and with Full bolt ons and 373 rear gears its definitely no slouch either.

I always liked this series of Mustangs, I recently bought a 1995 Yellow GT convertible and it will stay in my collection ... a memorable car !!!!

I use to watch this in 7th grade. I was already a mustang fan. I even became a teacher assistant so I could watch it more. It's so nice to watch it again.

So I’ve heard on and on about balanced driveshafts installation. As in when you change your ujoints you must reinstall your driveshaft exactly as you had taken it out.

8:16 this is where we put the loose nuts and bolts that will cause an annoying rattle lol

My '98 Mustang (V6 5 speed) has a steel hood, not plastic. There is a huge design problem with the undercarriage of the SN95 Mustang. They did not actually use any structural steel on the underbody. The whole bottom of the car is made of the same gauge steel as the body. No heavier frame rails anywhere. This makes the Mustang not only VERY flexible, but there are no lifting points under the car. No matter where you lift the car from, you are going to bend something, the only exceptions being the rear axle and the front lower control arms. Even the K member that supports the engine is made of thin sheet metal. This is basically a carryover from the Fox platform, without a doubt the worst design Ford has ever used. Many different models have used this platform, and they all have the same problems.

You can see the front frame rails/strut towers rusting before they leave the factory.

Cant belive the v6 came with shorty headers.
