Removing NVH Insulation and Restoring Parts - Foxbody Restomod Part 47 - Prepping my hydroboost for install and removing the factory sound deadener in my Mustang Restomod - I restored some of the rusty parts for the fox body restomod project. This included the hydroboost unit, the rear bumper crash attenuators, and the fuel tank straps. I also got some dry ice from a flash frozen steak delivery service so I wanted to give a try using it to peel the remaining factory NVH insulation off.
Flashing lights warning! Have a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate and Happy Holidays!
Flashing lights warning of course! It's the holidays, and we're combining junk, paint, and LED lights into a something special. Let me know what you think!
Quick version of installing my rebuilt Ford 8.8" rear axle in my fox body mustang restomod.
Not much to say here, I frequently do stupid things. (punch sound effect added obviously)
Rear Axle Install Part 2 - Foxbody Restomod Part 46 - My rebuilt Ford 8.8 rear differential gets installed back into the car. Then we installed the rest of the rear suspension, the foxbodybrakes.com rear cobra brake kit, and those gorgeous 18x10 SVE NVX rear rims with 285/35/18 sumitomo rubber. This took me all year to rebuild and I'm sooooo pumped to have it done and installed!
At least I get to build up my sound effects library, I guess.
Had another "puckering event" when the axle I was trying to shimmy into position fell backwards off the floor jack. No damage though, thankfully and I decided to put a pin in it until I get better tools.
Rear Axle Install Part 1 - Foxbody Restomod Part 45 - Finally, putting my rebuilt Ford 8.8 rear differential back into the car. Also got some new parts to install and finally got to use my nut-sert tool but I ran into even more problems with the cross bar on the upper control arm reinforcement brackets. We're really close to getting the axle back in the car though. As a refresher on the rear axle we did five lug swap 31-spline yukon axles, cobra limited slip differential, 3.73 yukon gears, custom electro-etched diff cover, foxbodybrakes.com rear disc cobra brake conversion and welded tubes.
Don't worry, creepy clown is right, the vehicle is really well supported with jack-stands at all four corners and it's not in any danger of falling. But you can push a corner up from the bottom and cause what we in the business call "a puckering event".
