She’s tamed down a bit but still will remind you she’s there.Man, if there’s ANYTHING left of 1.0 in 2.0, I wouldn’t park ‘58 anywhere in kicking distance of the mule.
Speaking from experience. I delivered a replacement axle housing for an LV to a shop that was also working on a Cobra. Sure enough, before the day was done, the LV bit the Cobra.![]()

also, I love checking out the shop in the reflections.
Were doughnuts offered?Just made it back from the upholstery shop. Good News: Material is in. Bad news: They haven’t started.
Great guys and a very good shop. It’s spring and everybody is lined up. The Mustang is still in the shop for some reason….
To quote @Jdc1, “It’s starting to look like a proper TLC”.

I see that spare tire, if needed, is a 2-man job. Got some weight to it…any flex somewhere?
I see very little redneckery in this thread.Quantum Redneckery-
1st rule of Quantum Redneckery is “For every idea extrapolated from the mini fridge, there’s probably a better way to do it, but you go with it cause your on a roll”.
When I switched 1.0 to 17” FJC steelies and the 265 Coopers I had to mod the sheet metal carrier to accept the new setup.
You can see the spacers I made to handle the larger spare tire. Used grade 8 bolts, 3/8” tubing and dual large washers to handle the additional stress. You can just make it out in the sea of black DP.
The big ol honker is really a much cleaner/easier/less intrusive way to modify the stock carrier.
