    Just FYI: A passenger side mirror was optional on most cars through the 60s and 70s. If you want a mirror on that side you'll have to drill a couple of holes.

    Great video, Doris. Fortunately, all of the parts you need to restore your Mustang are available. Specifically, the rust in the trunk floor is the top of the gas tank. You need a new one. The seat covers and foam are available new. One good resource for all of these parts is CJ Pony Parts. They have tons of stuff for Mustangs of any age. Looking forward to see what you do with this car.

    All those orange spots in the truck ARE rust. Hopefully it's surface rust. Cars back in the 60's and early 70's only came with one mirror, on the driver's side. The chrome bit you pointed to on the passenger side is what's left of the radio antenna. Seat foam, dash pad and all other upholstery is available new, as well as door panels. The doors are sagging because of the hinge pins. There's rebuild kits available. Except for the rust spots, that paint looks like it can be brought back with a cut and buff... Overall, a great project!! As far as the engine, check the timing first. It might be off.

    Make sure to inspect inside the fuel tank. It may be rusty inside and will probably be worth replacing. Also inspect the fuel and brake lines. The orange color in the trunk is surface rust. As long as the metal isn’t soft you can use POR15 over it because it protects the metal from rusting any further. Keeping the paint and interior original is a great idea. Can’t wait to see you start working on it!

    The rear window has black trim that goes around the window if you remove it usually the passenger side and drivers side corners get rust holes from water sitting there and having no where to drain. I had to replace the metal there on my 69 coupe from rain and car washes. My 69 has a 351 bored and stroked to a 416 with a 6 speed manual, and 4 wheel baer brakes. They are fun just crazy money.

    Well done finding a 69 that's in rebuild condition. I was half expecting to find huge rust holes in the floor pan but this one is in very good shape. You have a long road ahead of you in restoring it and I really hope that you do keep it as much as possible original. You may be lucky to get away with starting the engine and give it a quick drive but I wouldn't expect too much from it. I would be checking the state of the oil before attempting to start it. If the oil is milky then don't even bother trying to start it. The engine is full of water. if the oil looks ok then I would certainly take the plugs out and pure some oil down the plug holes first and give it a good wind over before trying to start it. Best to get everything free and lubricated first. It wouldn't hurt also to take the rocker covers off and pure oil over the valve running gear. It's been sitting dry for a long time.

    I like that you're willing to give this a try - being new at it. Wish you the best of luck. I'll be watching. Couple of notes. There should be "sport" mirrors available for both driver's side and passenger's side. They look much better, but on the more base models of Mustangs, they typically came with only one mirror for the driver's side. I'll be really interested to see what modifications you make. I really like the old school torq thrust wheels on that car. Hope you leave them or something similar. Good luck!

    The rear end in that car is what called a 8” used in a lot of Ford cars in 60-70-80. A small version of 9” but is still a strong rear end. The wheels a classic and it being a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern you can take the wheel off your Shelley and put on the 69 might have to use spacer on front to clear control arms.

    That is the antenna at 2:52, and I wish I could send you a picture of my passenger door/mirror on my '70 Mach I to show you what the mirror should look like. National Parts Depot or a place like that should be able to get the exact reproductions.
    To get it running, obviously air/fuel/spark. Don't overlook anything. Check timing, correct firing order, everything to do with the carburetor (float level, power valve, etc. take the fuel bowls off), etc. Ford numbers the cylinders 1,2,3,4 on the passenger side and 5,6,7,8 on the driver side, and firing order on a 1969 non HO 302 is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8.
    It's always more than you initially think it's going to be. Keep your head up Doris.

    Before you try to start it, pull the spark plugs and put a couple on squirts of oil in each cylinder, put the old plugs back in, disable the ignition and crank it over several times.
    Then install your new plugs and connect the ignition, then try to start. If the car has been sitting the cylinder walls will be dry.

    I don’t recall if my 68 Mustang had a right side mirror. I do know it had a left side mirror which was manually adjusted from the inside. I know because I had to replace it. A real pain. Check through the chrome plating on the bumpers. Mine started to flake off and I had to replace them. Also check the upper and lower control arm bushings I had to change mine they came without grease fittings. Also had to change the ball joints numerous times. No grease fittings from factory. Check the folding hinge on the drivers seat inboard side. Changed mine at least two or three times. It would just break when you didn’t want it to. Engine was mine had a 289 cu in ( one hell of a motor ) does yours have a 302 cubic inch or larger? Keep an extra starter solenoid on hand located on the fwd R/h fender well. They crap out often or have a jumper cable to to bypass it. You’ll see it. That’s pretty much it I changed points and plugs and oil ( 5W 30 ) regularly and on long hauls got 20+ MPG but back then I used premium gas ( real gas ) not todays crap. Have fun with it I’ll follow your build. Artie ❤️ one more thing get an electronic water temp gauge. The regular one sucked. I also still have the Chiltons hard cover manual and the regular timing light ,compression gauge , tach and dwell meter and remote starter and who knows what else. ❤️

    Check fuse box, where it connects both interior at firewall above and left of brake pedal and from engine bay at firewall. Mine was loose and I had to re-solder it. Before that sometimes I would hit a bump or on a hard turn and the engine would just stop because it would loose spark on that hot wire that connected at the firewall. It was a sporadic problem and was only found after severe frustration. Finally during the search I moved the wires back and forth that were connected at the firewall inside the engine compartment and duplicated the issue. Upon inspection after disconnecting the fuse box a charred large connecting positive wire was found as the culprit and fixed.

    That hose by the oil pan is the power steering return hose. if the pump is bad get a rebuild kit, they are $20 at Auto zone and easy to install , only use Type F or Mercron in the PS pump. That "universal" fluid will damage the pressure seal in nothing flat. When you do the brakes, do the rear first. when the rear brakes are bad the front brakes take the extra load which causes the shock towers to crack.

The car looks really rust free besides the surface rust and must of that can be cleaned up with a wire brush. I would get it running and do one thing at a time so small projects at a time.

  • @jsimmonstx
    @jsimmonstx 6 місяців тому

    The rust in the trunk is indeed rust. You may need a new fuel tank (especially considering the car has been sitting for 24 years) - check with a bore scope and make sure the inside isn't rusty. Check/flush the fuel line to make sure there's no debris. DO NOT try to start the car with fuel from the gas tank. use a gas can with a hose leading to the mechanical fuel pump to make sure the car is getting the cleanest fuel possible. Also, use 93-octane fuel.
    The seats can be salvaged (re-padded and upholstered, assuming the frames aren't rusted out.
    Fortunately, the Gen 1/2 Mustangs are widely supported in the aftermarket restoration business, so finding replacements for factory stuff is fairly easy - and can be extremely expensive.
    The rear end is a standard 8-inch with 28-spline axles, As long as you don't make too much torque with the engine, it should be fine, but does probably need gaskets and seals.
    The motor is probably a 302. Stock block 302's can only survive about 450hp, so I would avoid boosting it (if that was your plan). If the motor is junk, to keep it simple, consider buying a stout 331 or 347 stroker long block from BluePrintEngines.com. I've heard good things about them, and they're reasonably priced. Getting a long block allows you to dress the motor the way you like, including intake, carburetor, and distributor (their complete engines come with a GM-style HEI distributor which is a) GM, and b) ugly as hell.
    To see if it runs, you need three things - fuel, spark, and compression.
    My advice is to watch a channel like What the Rust or Vice Grip Garage to see the process they go through to try to start a car that's been sitting for decades.

    Well for starters, fuel tank & lines should be removed, tank inspected to see how bad it is, when the sit for that long
    fuel crystallizes turn to rusty mess, will rust from the inside out. The carb is going to be all stuck inside and most
    likely non usable, after that change oil & filter, removed distributor cap to where the rotor is pointing as make note
    then remove distributor, to get to the oil pump drive, to pump up oil to the top of the motor before attempting to
    turn the motor over, go to UA-cam videos for this, a ton of them. Last cars back the only cam with one side view
    mirror, they weren't required to have 2, that changed some time in the seventies I believe. Good luck with things.

    Hi Doris, I don't know how far you really want to go with the car, but I would strip it down completely and send it out to be painted properly that is back to bare metal. While that is being done clean up all the mechanical components to the stage you want, and reassemble it all yourself. In the States you have a lot of places the make reproduction things for those cars and at the end of the day you will have a great car that is worth a bit of money. Just my idea thinking good luck.👍

    Doris everything you said about the motor sounds about right. The most important thing is a spark. Once you figure out the firing order everything else should fall into place. And it was a pretty good idea to dump all the fuel. Because any debris gets in the fuel line it will mess the float up. And I also would put a electronic fuel pump on it. 😎👍🇺🇸🇨🇱🏴‍☠️

    The hoses are your power steering hoses, they are supposed to be attached to the power steering pump, it looks like they are attached to the power steering ram. Another item you will want to change, to a power rack and pinion steering system.

    Ok we can talk all day (I wish).
    Classic Industries has oem style seat covers in your blue, just looked in 5 seconds lol...they will have a million other things you need for interior/exterior.
    There are several companies like Classic, including Summit and CJ Pony that have tons of oem style vendors supplying them with everything you need.
    The "Mustang" emblems and letters, logos and horses are all available easily.
    The trunk... that is surface rust. Use a power sander or wheel and work hard to get it all, especially down in those side pockets, and when you get it sanded and cleaned, then wipe on anti rust corrosion prevention, let it dry, then prime it quickly so rust can't begin to grow again. Your PPG paint supply store knows ALL these methods and has the corrosion prevention liquid.
    That fender dent can be knocked out by a decent dentless repair shop, no problem. You can take it off without taking the whole car to them, unless you're gonna have the car painted by others.
    Tempted to suggest buying an aftermarket trunk lid...depends on the whole trunk lid rust situation. New ones are $250ish.
    Also, all these same types of mega companies have literally every part for Camaros too!

    You need to prime the oil pump and push oil up to the valves. I would take the valve covers off to make sure you have oil going to the top of the engine before starting. Why because if the oil isn’t pumping oil to the top of the engine you risk damaging the internal parts of the engine especially after 24 years of sitting.

    Pour a glass of water in the cowl. Make sure it doesn't leak inside the car. Almost every Mustang I've seen leaks there. Can't wait to see your progress once you start tearing into it. I miss my old 66.

  • @12B4Christ

    Also tempted to suggest a new oem gas tank, then you KNOW you have a clean fuel system after 20 years. Blow out the lines when its apart...and all new fuel hoses.
    The trans looks like its been rebuilt.

    A lot of work to restore this classic rare Mustang coupe. I mean rare because of parts may or may not be available but the work I saw in the past videos, I say will be rewarding later.
