Ford The Brentstangs.....68 Mustang build (5 Viewers)

Fuel system plumbing is complete. I repurposed a coil mount into a fuel filter mount. Since I have the in tank fuel pump and regulator, it converts the setup into a dead head type. Capped one side of the Sniper and used a 90 on the inlet.
Once everything is routed under the hood, I'll use all black zip ties to tidy it up.

Good tlhinking with coil bracket it.

Got the fiberglass California Special rear spoiler and bits. Had to do an initial fit. Not horrible but will need some work. Definitely transforms the look of the coupe. I dig it.
The weight is holding the lid closed. I also got the side scoops.

Trial fit for the side scoops. They need some work with fitment but they will look cool when finished.

Working on the hvac install. Not a fan of under the dash work, but it's gotta happen. Installed the cowl vent block off plates. It eliminates the driver side fresh air vent, but it works in my favor. The oem vent was broken.

Got the hvac unit loosely mounted under the dash. The lines will come out the center of the firewall hole when the unit is lifted into the correct place. For now, it let's me figure out all the hoses. I will get them crimped tomorrow.

 

[JackA]

Got the lines all trimmed down ready for crimping. Bummer is the one line and fitting is interfering with the transmission dip stick. The ac cannot move so, I'll have to figure out a solution for that.
The white zip ties are only for mock up. Once the export brace is installed, it will hide the lines and give me a support point.

Huge thanks to my friend Jay for helping out today. The hvac is mostly complete except mounting a few vents and the wiring. All hoses under hood are crimped and installed as well. We tested all the servos and blower motor as well. Progress is good today.

Lokar might have flexible trans dipstick . They do for oil

 

[JackA]

I think I can move the trans dip stick alittle and solve my issue. Thanks for the tip though.
I cut the dash to accommodate the new center AC vent. It gets held in by the other trim pieces. It fits good so far.
