    I scooped and vacuumed over 30 punds of dirt from inside the rockers and the quarters of my 74 monte carlo.
    It's mind boggling to realize where dirt csn run and hide and go for a ride without a feller knowin'

      Yep the underside of the car definitely definitely needs to be gone through!
      Not looking to completely strip the undercoat off but anywhere it is loose ill scrape off as well 😁

    Seats weigh a tun. Go a fiber glass bucket

      Well I'm not going crazy now lol 😆
      Still needs to be an old mustang not an all out drag car 😅
      Swiss cheese with holes and gutting all the interior is off limits, aside from the under dash stuff 😀

      Good idea. Long drives in a bucket can get painful

      Yep 😁
      Still want it to be a car because thats what it is 90% of the time anyway......but the engine......smooth idle is not a priority there 😉

    If you do any street driving at all it really should have a front sway bar even better an upgraded 1" .
    Take the back seat out instead that's pretty much useless.

    • @newguysgarage6802

      The back seat is were the kids go! Lol 🤣
      Really the sway bar is what was doing nothing on those old mustangs, fairly wimpy units to the point you cant even tell its off there 😅
      I was nervous to take it off reading the forums and hearing people say it will make the car sketchy through the turns. But then I took it off and it was exactly the same around corners so really was nothing to worry about 🙂

      "Nice Orange Shine" actually.
      Referring to the paint of course.....even the sticker is Orange.

    More stickers = More horsepower > More stickers adding weight. 😎

    If you're wantin to hang with the ol LeMans, you should start thinking T bucket with turbos and nitrous. Jus sayin...
    One thing is certain, my car will not be on the bottle.
