Pump and what about balljoints ?? Also got a story about those side panels to the rear seat. In 1969 when my dad purchased his mach 1 , I would have been 4 years old little brat. I remember sitting on top of those box panel instead of the rear seat, reason been that I was too small to see outside the car. I would sit sideways holding to my dads front seat like a passenger on a motor bike. He never complained to me. That would have driven me crazy if my kid did that to me. He owned that car between 1969 and late 1971 in exange for a 1972 Ford Econoline. My mother cried when he sold that car. Good memories !!

Important progress

Your work shows your craftsmanship and you always take the extra step to do things the right way

Great job Barry, that is a lot of prep work! Hats off to you!

like christmas morning. Loved when parts arrived. I agree that it looks like the mini tubs are pushing the side trim into the seats and you can just trim the panels . Plus I cannot believe there are SO many little pieces just for the rear seats . really coming together, hopefully she will soon be ready for the next step in its life

The top wheelhouse brackets are only there to support latches for foldown seat option.

I liked using the red sanding brushes from Harbor Freight for tight areas. They also worked great for removing the sealant around the windshield.

Nice work and attention to detail. Right is always better than "right now".😁

Love watching your attention to detail and the excellent results.

This is why I don’t consider the days work done until I grind EVERYTHING. On panel or small project at a time. It get deburred and welds ground. I run my bare hand on everything that I work on and make sure it won’t snag me next time I touch or run into it.

As always, digging the videos and progress.

Ups from cal delivery my new door it looking very nice tell got to bottom corner it was bent 80% i taken my sheet metal folder and itvwill fill

I was initially asked to just do the sheet metal work. I will probably be painting it. I do not plan to assemble everything.

I installed Borgeson power steering kit on my 67 Mercury Cougar. Definitely an upgrade from the Bendix power steering system.

Great work 👍

Great video Barry. Do you have the fold down rear seat that you can test the bracket's location with? Also don't forget that the rear interior panels are flush with the windlace that goes along that area and adds probably 1/4 inch at least that was on my 1965 and 1966 Mustang Fastback.

The brackets on the top wheelhouse are for the fold down seat, but I think you still need them for the non- folding seat. That is what the seat back attaches to….I think. If that’s the case, I hope the mini tubs haven’t changed the attaching points. Maybe install the rear seat back and see if it will attach to those brackets. Sorry if things like this keep you up at night!! Great work and entertaining!

I recently subscribed to you ehe cant wait to learn even more

Don’t rush it will bite you down the road!

Keep up the great work, I know the prep work seems to never end. What do you think about the upper and lower control arms? Are the silver ends paint or cleared over bare metal? Just curious. Thanks

They appear to be painted. Seem nice.

So many little items to confuse and take up time but all part of the project. Lucky you have your car for reference. Looking good but take care of the back.

Brutal getting that weld primer off. Thoughts on painting to the trans crossmeber. Easy tape off point

I’ll look at that. Thanks

Hey Barry. Wouldn't a product like acetone, lacquer thinner or even wax and grease remover work well with wiping off the remaining weld through primer and still leave a contaminated free, bare metal surface for painting?
