http://68vert.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Sunday, March 23, 2014. So ever since I reupholstered my seats and replaced my seat foam with the new, high-density seat cushions, I've have to duck down a bit to look below the upper windshield frame to see the stop lights. Also while crawling in and out of the car, my right thigh would get stuck under the steering wheel. I bought a LeCarra 15" steering wheel. So what to do? I could have done a " seat track mod. I'd considered cuttin...

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Friday, October 18, 2013. Power Play - Pump It Up! Okay, now that I have a control valve. To control my power steering and a power cylinder. To power my power steering, I needed something to squish the power steering fluid (Type F ATF, actually) into the control valve and power cylinder and what better way to squish fluids into things than with a pump? Fortunately, I had made a deal with a VMF. I could then get to the bolts of the pum...

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Let's get it on the road already! From CJ Pony Parts which happened to be a Daniel Carpenter brand. It went on like a glove and sealed like a champ. My references were a Mustang Monthly. A thread on AllfordMustangs.com. YouTube video, and T HIS YouTube video. That was my primary reference. I bought the CRL "window weld". I covered the dash pad and the cowl and marked the center line. Covering everything is ...

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Thursday, January 31, 2013. On Top of Ol' Rusty (Part 1). Like just about every other task with these cars, there is quite a bit of reference material out there from the original factory manual to personal blogs such as the recent work done by Risto on his 65 Convertible. In his four part blog series. And professional web sites such as Mustang Monthly's top replacement guide. Whom goes by the name Dalorzof. The next attachment point o...

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Sunday, June 24, 2012. After I had dropped in the engine and transmission, the task of hooking up all of the odds and ends. A couple of the more odd ends were the transmission cooling lines. Like the Fuel and brake lines on this car, they were patched together and poorly bent with kinks. A new set of lines is around $40 from various parts houses. Old crappy trans cooling lines. Newly bent lines (trans end). Carb studs and intake gasket.

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Sunday, March 24, 2013. On Top of Ol' Rusty (Part 4). Of pad. If you can get more original weaved pads, I think you'll have an easier time in fitting them since these are just too stiff. After fitting the pads, I taped over the pad screws on the bows as well as the bow 4 side and rear pad seams. Rear quarter pad stapled up. The other side. Trimmed. Taped over the screws. Taped over the rear transition seam. Rear window center check.

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Sunday, June 15, 2014. New Shoes/Problem/Near Death Experience/Success. One of the most contentious chapters of the restoration story of Ol' Rusty was the retention of the original wheels and hub-caps (white walls out! And after reading several threads regarding wheel fitment, my conviction regarding wheel size receded into the realm of myth. It was stated by several well-known experts. The kit was actually a pair of 14x6 wheels for t...

Walk with me in my journey to restore a 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. Friday, July 19, 2013. A Midsummer Night's Update. Well it's Midsummer and basically, night, so I thought I'd do an update as I'm sure folks are pretty tired of staring at the seatbelt installation post. I did waaaay back in May. So, here we go! First, I got the dual exhaust installed! I used a local shop called Exhaust Specialties and Brakes. I sprang for a new set of repro bumpers. I bought the shroud from NPD. What we started with.

Meanwhile, a young lady in a small town in New York lay on her back, staring at the ceiling, imagining an afternoon drive on a Summer day; the wind in her hair, the warm sun's caress on her smiling face. Posted by A. Olshove. Monday, February 18, 2013. On Top of Ol' Rusty (Part 2). After removing the convertible top fabric from the top frame in Part 1. This pin holds the #2 bow on.
