Sleazy's Garage
Hammering out a 25+ year old dent. Autobody folks, please look away... - Continuing the driver's side door restoration. Removing the latch, hinges, pushing out a dent that's been there for at least 25 years, and starting to remove rust. There are a lot better ways to remove dents than this.
Taking apart the fox body mustang doors for restoration - In this video we first check out the bumper support from last week, then start taking apart the driver's side door to prep it for paint. Getting the glass out and removing the original run channel molding was certainly a learning experience.
Sand blasting and painting bumper supports and cold blue on the hardware - Decided to start tackling some of the backlog of parts I have to get sand blasted and painted. The front bumper supports were really grimy though so I fired up my new parts washer for the first time and it really impressed. I only managed to get one out of two of the bumper supports done but all of the hardware was cold blued. I spent a lot of time in the garage today and I didn't get a lot done. But what I did do looks pretty good!
Ouch! Sound deadening on the foxbody is almost done... (so sharp!) - Between the fine edge of the sound deadening, razor blades, and a super sharp battery box it's really a wonder that I didn't get worse cuts than I did. But we're pretty much done with the install I think. I have no idea what the next step is.
Quick diagram and explainer of why it's common to move the battery to the trunk in a rear wheel drive vehicle.
This battery relocation kit is too sharp! - I installed a UPR battery relocation kit in my fox body restomod project car. My thoughts on the kit are below. I screwed up quite a bit but we manage to get it done in one video.
This sound deadening mat is sharp! - In this episode, we're installing the Siless sound deadening butyl mats in my fox body restomod mustang GT. This wasn't difficult to do but takes a really long time and I didn't get it done. So there will be a part 2 where we wrap it all up.
Installing the hump and busting an air line! In this video I installed the LMR item LRS-7277A-K "1979-93 Mustang Manual Transmission Hump Kit". But first I had to get my other Mustangs ready for state inspections. One of my favorite air lines burst too.
This is a milestone video. Let's take a quick look back over the project and see what we're up to. I also painted the floorpan with POR-15 rust encapsulator to get it ready for sound deadening and took a ride in my father-in-law's all original 1971 Hemi charger.
Wire wheeling the entire floor pan of my fox body restomod - I once again did a massive wire wheeling job on the restomod foxbody project. Using the wire wheel I removed the remaining crud, excess factory seam sealer, surface rust and exposed some deeper rust so that I can encapsulate it. This really put the grinder through its paces.
