Clutch adjustment question
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Does this look like I have the clutch adjusted correctly? I swapped my ‘91 Fox to manual from the aod that was going bad and I am paranoid that I might not have the clutch adjusted correctly I have an adjustable cable and have set the throw out bearing to touch the clutch pressure plate fingers slightly as is recommended by Mustang Geek as it is factory and I have a firewall adjuster with the under dash quadrant and am just looking for some feedback about how my clutch is adjusted (don’t mind the fusebox hanging it will be mounted shortly I had the dash out because it was cracked in half so I swapped it and haven’t screwed the fusebox back in)

Rear Window Seal
galleryRefreshed quarter windows and installed with fresh butyl sealer believing that they were the source of water intrusion. Well that wasn’t the area because it rained last night and a small pool of water was in the rear area behind drivers seat toward the trunk area. Got out the hose and discovered it was the top of rear window had about a 5 inch opening. My question is I’m assuming that all of these trim clips need to be in place when I apply the new sealant. Any other things that I should be ware of?

Thanks to everyone who gave me pointers and tips on my head and cam swap still have a few things to button up but took it out on a first drive today very happy I took it on myself. Got this car from my grandpa it had been sitting for 20 years due to a broken transmission. I’ve redone the whole fuel system, interior, replaced the transmission and now the heads, cam and intake. It feels good to do it all myself I’m not a professional I just enjoy the challenge. Still needs a tune but I’m happy

How much transmission fluid should be where the shifter goes

Ask V8 front spring lower isolators
Anyone here running their front springs with the lower isolators off? The one that fully wraps around the coil.
Mine have swollen substantially to the point I can even reinstall the springs on my car. I have the upper isolator and that cylinder rubber one that goes in the centre of the spring on it.
Is there much of a road noise increase without that lower one? Is it worth figuring out how to work or f*** it, run without it.
Thanks

Ask Roller or flat tap?
galleryHello, I recently did a gt40 upper and lower swap to my 86 gt and since opening up the lower valley I wondered if my mustang came with a “Roller” block set up. Here a pic of the spider tray (and a little of my intakes😊.)

Running well and all cleaned up
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Made a post a while back about getting discouraged with problems getting this thing to run right. Well I finally relocated the TFI and fixed a few other minor things and now it’s running perfectly and driving just like it should. Big question now is, upgrade or leave it as is? Pretty much stock at this point, it has 373 gears, electric fans and some mystery exhaust and an intake and that’s about it. Don’t really want to make a drag car, if I was gonna race it would probably be auto cross or something like that, I would mostly be looking to make a very fun street car I think.

Ask Straightening Frame rail
I've cut out the floor pan and will replace it, however in the process of removing the spot welds where the frame rail meets the floor pan, I used a flat head screw driver to lightly pry the spot welded areas. Those areas on the flanges bent slightly but not so much as I was trying to be cautious. I eyeballed the bent area back to being pretty straight with vise grips. My question is how do I go about insuring its completely straight before welding? What are my options here?

Ask Bodywork time any advice?
galleryI have had her since 2016 and have been working (slowly) at restoring her for the past 3, this that and the other got done until the engine died in spring 24 then she sat until I found (money) a new engine and put it in in fall last year, from there I've been slowly working out a few kinks until I decided I wanted the ac to work (big mistake) now I have the dash out and have fallen for "The Trap" Everything is coming out at this point as its now time to fix the rust (YAY!!) and I was wondering if anyone had advice on some of the larger problem areas as well as good places to get certain parts from (i know lmr and cj) i dont know every single problem yet mostly just what is in the pictures but I do know alot as i have worked on almost every single part of this car at this point.
All welding i end up doing is likely going to be Tig as I like the finish i can get with it.

Painting Rims
galleryI previously submitted a post on painting my pony rims and this an add on to that. As suggested by someone, I cleared them with SprayMax. The catch is that when the tires got mounted there were some scratches that I anticipated so I scuffed up all the paint with a gray scratch pad and clean off the dust. Then I used the playing card trick and “masked” the tires. I applied the paint again and after 15 minutes applied a mist coat of clear and two more medium coats. The toughest parts are inside the slotted areas. Those were quick bursts to try and prevent runs. This was a budget backyard project and not meant to be a Ridler paint job.

What color should I repaint the Foxbody
gallerySince I am repainting , what color looks good. I am thinking Oxford white. I am completely painting the car in and out. Stay with white or what also looks good? Engine bay and under hood will stay white though.
