Happy Birthday Mom!!!!!

I have to say, braided brake lines rock! It's taken two thirds the time to re-route them. With their flexibility and the amount of time I've spent on braided lines in general. It's been very quick and easy to setup. When I confirm the correct fittings to the stock Mustang locations, I'll let everyone know the part numbers. Again, way so much easier then trying carefully bend those lines in the tight confines of the body.

We decided to put the dash pad on while we wait for a new proportion valve and the rest of the back order for the fittings on the brakes.  Proportion valve we had made fit before so it would not touch the headers, now we want to regain the original mount it came with.


 

We should finish up the lower dash over the next few days. I'll let you know how it happens.

Accomplishments have been far and few these days. Getting ready for the holidays has keep weekend work to a minimum. Right now we have hooked up the Speedo cable and getting ready to make the fix to the cable to speedo itself. I show picts when i get it done.
Brake lines have shown up. We did decide to go with the real braided this time. Picts also to follow.
Other then the above, everything else has been cosmetic, like putting the horns back on, cleaning up the dirt, and just general "pretty-up".

Well, She is back and looking good! Dad and I ran up to pick her up Saturday morning. Mike and his crew were finishing her up as we showed. Wow is all we could say. Mike was great, and he was gracious in his opinions of fixes and improvements.  Few things to look over were the brake lines in the back, upper control arms bolts and moving about the brake lines so they are not directly over the headers. Not too bad for our first car!

So after the 3 hour ride home with our new trailer to match, I put Dad in the Cobra for a few picts.
