rusty959 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 And then I remembered I had an air hammer. A bit later this is how it looked. It is now ready to be cleaned up painted and cut out for the toe pan. From above Since I think Ive never shown pics of the cowl, here it is sitting there. Also I cleaned this area up a bit more. I just need to be able to sandblast again.... 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty959 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well, finally able to do some more work. Yay once again having a helper. Quite helpful. Used the wire brush against the torque box. Mainly so that sandblasting would be easier since my big air compressor broke leaving me with a small one, plus I don't have the plastic up anymore. Sandblasted, atleast good enough for por15. Por15 on the back of the toe pan to go in por15 on the torque box and inside of front rails. Had some left in the cup I was using so put it on some random stuff to later check how well it works on various unprepared surfaces. Old gas tank Back of an interior trim piece, random piece of galvanized metal, and old front floor pan. More to come. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty959 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 So unfortunately I didn't have the whole day to work as I hoped and much of my time was spent cleaning up. Most of it was spent getting the toe pan to fit, because as is the case with most parts like this, it was no where close. Unfortunately due to needing to make a 7 hour trip I didn't take any pics of it mostly in. But, here is one of the gas tank sitting where it goes, woot. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty959 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 2-3rd semester break, woot, here are some pics. First of all, new Radiator! aluminum, Griffin dual 1.25 inch cores, rated for 600 hp. Should do the trick. Here it is "on" the car It is a "blem" meaning it has a couple slightly bent fins, but who cares, you won't be able to see them once I get a fan on it. And here it is on the new radiator support that I don't think ive ever posted up here. Looks sexy. And, toe pan mostly shaped in. Once again the inside lower radius sucked, and had to do some shaping of my own. Before I did this it was actually lower than the floor, then came back up. Poor poor engine stand. Pulled out the engine to take some crap off of it. Anyways after this I pulled the por 15 off the back of the toe pan, blasted it, and recoted it. Apparently por15 doesn't like mostly smooth surfaces. A nice sandblasted one should do the trick. Tomorrow I plan on welding in the toe pan, and maybe more fun stuff. We will see. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty959 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Definitely. I picked it up from a garage sale for $20, so obviously Im not expecting much. Rated for 750 pounds, i don't believe it. Before I put that jack stand under it it was probably sitting at a 30* angle 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnbikecrazy55 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 ya, if you're looking at replacing it, a buddy got one of these and it suprisingly has been super durable. only thing is to grease the wheels because they squeak when they come new, lol. http://www.harborfre...tand-32916.html PLUS, theres ALWAYS 20% off coupons available, which helps.

rusty959 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks for the link. Ive considered replacing it, but being a college kid I probably should focus more on the stuff needed to get it to run. Hopefully it won't be on the stand much longer anyways. Got it finished prepped, and started to be welded in. I still hate having a non-gas welder. Welded the bottom up. Lot more work shaping this corner. They sucked up this part. Lots of gaps to cross, don't feel they are big enough to force me to make a filler plate. More shaping Tossed my gas cap on just to see how it would look. I think it looks pretty sweet. And more welding, this is where it ended for the night. Also, my gf did a good job cleaning up the back of these. (trim pieces that go on the sides of the back seats) tomorrow ill quickly sandblast them and throw some por-15 on. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
