Project "Black Bettie" Status: The awakening is ne
Well guys its been awhile since i last updated you as to what is going on with my car, so lets get down to business.
For Christmas I recieved a new set of axles and new rear shocks from my dad. ( I bet that was pricey!!!)
As of now just about everything is back on the car. I had planned on putting NGK Iridium plugs in it but the idiots at our local NAPA never could seem to get them in so I settled for Champion Double Platinums. I have two new AC lines with a new dryer, new O2 sensors, and Motorcraft Plug wires installed on the car. Both accessory brackets, the blower, lower IC tube and upper intake plenum are bolted on. Most electrical connections are hooked up. Today I went to the parts store and bought 2 new battery cables, 2 belts, and 2 gallons of antifreeze. I also exchanged one of my O2 sensors for one that has butt ends since the wires on the drivers side are not long enough to reach on the Mustang headers. I'll just use a connector and some of the wire off of one of my old ones to try yo get some more length out of it. I also put the new rear shocks on.
Its getting pretty close. Basically it looks pretty complete except for the Upper IC tube, radiator, IC and belts not on it yet. Oh yeah, and the hood is sitting on top of the roof too. I have my car cover thrown under the hood to protect the roof. It still needs to have some downtubes made, but that will likely be one of the last things we'll do. A few other little items that need to be done are replacing the axle shafts (CV joints seem to be wearing out), differential bushings, and both ball joints on the passenger side, but I have all of these things already.
Thats all for now.
