Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Cleaned up.
It got a good coat of rust encapsulator last night. After it dried I put some 3M seam sealer on it. When that dries I'll top coat it wall with some chassis paint. The drain hole did not get filled in with seam sealer, it's completely open, just looks like it got filled in for some reason in pics.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Supposed to be beautiful tomorrow, unfortunately, I have some yard work to do, if I don't mow it tomorrow it will be knee high by next week (not literally, but I don't like to rake up grass piles from high grass). Takes me a couple of hours. Have to do a check up on the mower first too. Bought a new Deere 3 years ago, want to make sure it lasts. I killed my last one my FIL gave me, but it was from 1992 and it was already smoking when I got it.
Forgot to mention that I had to break down and buy new rotors yesterday, so the wallet took another hit. I took them in to get turned and they were too far gone. They're 0.810" new, Minimum spec is 0.780" for turning, and mine were 0.755" and 0.756"... poop. Luckily CJ's had raybestos ones on sale for $50 shipped each. Same ones in most parts stores were $65. Then they jumped in price to like $105-120 each for drilled, slotted, etc.... pass... It's kinda good I'm getting new ones. The races had some marks on them and I COULD NOT get them out! I've never not been able to get old races out before... these things were stuck!

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
It is crazy windy today! Not good for painting.
This is the part where I wish I had a fancy blast cabinet or anything better than a wire wheel on my drill.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
But I did find some cool stuff! Check out the clear "B" on the spindle! Coulda been a family member!
You can kinda make out the Ford Logo and some part numbers on it.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
The EXPENSIVE parts... Street or Track adjustable strut rods to eliminate the stock bars with flexible bushings that wear out. With the larger wheels I'm running I need a more predictable front end, and these will provide that. I also purchased their roller bearing spring perches to eliminate the binding with the stock perches with bushings.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
I'm still waiting on my GT springs, 1" sway bar, and new rotors, but I couldn't help but throw the old rotors on and see how the repainted rotors look...

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Finally, a new part I could reuse!!! The drag link was reusable! And it was super clean, it only needed a scuff, primer, and paint.
The tie rod connectors are easier to clean and paint assembled, then I can measure them, take them apart a piece at a time, and add the new parts to the set up is close enough to drive to the alignment shop.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
New Idler Arm installed with cleaned up drag link in place.
I'd like to replace the steering box with a quicker ration one but the $250-350 price tag on rebuilt ones is crazy! It works fine for now.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Last ones for now... parts I didn't want to clean up. I see some more line markings, but I didn't get them cleaned up. I almost did it, but I didn't want to get covered in black crap again.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Thanks! Progress will be coming to a halt soon. Pooped. Out of parts. Losing the entire weekend to a conference in Raleigh this upcoming weekend, for all fri/sat/and back late sun night.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Looks great, Its amazing how some elbow grease and new paint revives these old parts. What rate springs did you go with?

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Thanks, I wish it was done! I'm pretty sore from crawling all over/around/under this thing for the past few weeks.
I'm using the stock height 65/66 GT springs, which are supposed to be a 480lb rate. A lot of people said the 620lb springs were way too stiff for the street.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
I also cut up another piece of trim, got the tape on it, and got it on the car.

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
It’s looking great.
![]() The tube axle took care of the issues on my ’66 but I’m going nuts trying to decide what to do for front suspension on my fastbacks. |

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Fastbacks... how many cars you got?
![]() I almost wish I woulda put a straight axle under there! Woulda been a heck of a lot cheaper! It was one of those things where I ordered the control arms a year ago. The shocks a month ago. Springs/roller perches/sway bar/adjustable strut rods a few weeks ago. Bearings and tie rods a couple weeks ago, and rotors last week. If I had ordered it all at once I probably would have freaked out on the cost (I still am when I think of how much it all was together!) The roller perches and adjustable strut rods were the killer, those were almost $700 alone with shipping, but I've read over and over how people love them. NOBODY makes "cheap" ones. I found a couple that might have saved me $150 or so, but I couldn't find many reviews, so I went with the best. They also make kits to make your own, but I don't have the time or confidence to be making suspension components! I even bought "cheap" shocks. I got the KYB GR2 for $120 for all of them. You can spend $5-600 for a set of Koni or Bilstein. It's crazy. I'm glad the rear will only be ~$300 for new springs, bushings and shackles!

Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Let’s say I have a few cars and a lot of projects. My ’67 fastback it the biggest money pit. It is very straight and solid and had most of the Shelby stuff to make it a tribute. I have a Shelby 482 aluminum FE for it. I have a ’69 and bought a 428 SCJ with a tunnel wedge for that car. It’s never been bored but one cylinder has some rust that may not clean up without boring it. When I was in high school I would have taken this shell to the crusher. Now I say to myself “not a bad start. I also have another ’66 coupe but I’ve got most of the sheet metal to “fastbackify” it. My wife has a nice ’67 coupe too. It needs finishing.

New shoes, brake shoes, that is.
